TRAINING.

Overview

After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

• Develop a better understanding of the soil characteristics relevant to bioremediation processes
• Learn about the technologies that are commonly used during in situ soil bioremediation operations
• Gain knowledge on microbial factors and environmental conditions controlling soil bioremediation processes
• Evaluate and compare the performances of several in situ technologies used in the bioremediation of soil
• Apply your knowledge of various in situ bioremediation technologies to soil decontamination projects

Description
This webinar provides information on the in situ bioremediation processes for removing contaminants from the soil without excavating soil and its transportation from the site. The fundamental site characteristics and the controlling microbial and environmental factors during in situ soil bioremediation will be presented.

Selected in situ soil bioremediation technologies will be discussed, including intrinsic bioremediation, biostimulation, bioaugmentation, bioventing, and landfarming.

Who Should Attend
Environmental Engineers, Geologists, Soil Scientists, Project Managers, Consulting Engineers, Environmental Educators, Environmental Risk Managers, Environmental protection officers, Lawyers, Municipal Planners
