Successful Bioremediation Pilot Test for chlorinated compounds in groundwater
Greensoil is proud to share the results of a recent project carried out at a former industrial site in northern Spain, where we assessed the feasibility of enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD) for groundwater remediation.
Together with laboratory treatability tests executed at our inhouse Lab facility in Genk (Belgium), we conducted a field pilot test using Dehalo a proprietary electron donor developed by GreenSoil.
Key takeaways from the study:
✅ Complete dechlorination of PCE and TCE to ethene in the lab within just 7 days under biostimulated conditions
✅ Significant formation of breakdown products (DCE, VC) observed in field conditions
✅ PCE concentrations decreased from 75,500 μg/L to 7,260 μg/L in the pilot well in 4 months
✅ qPCR analysis confirmed microbial activity, with increased presence of Dehalococcoides and Geobacter
✅ Reductive environment promoted, enhancing contaminant degradation
The results show not only the technical success of the ERD approach, but also its economic viability for full-scale application at the site.
A big thank you to our team and partners for their dedication and expertise.
We're excited to keep pushing the boundaries of sustainable remediation.
