Trillions and trillions of ravenous, gluttonous microbes, gorging themselves on your contaminant, leaving only carbon dioxide, water and trace elements of fatty acids in their wake. Mother Nature has been cleaning up messes for years with microbes. Part of the bioremedial process is to provide the optimum environment for the microbes so they will thrive and reproduce at a rapid rate. The objective of bioremediation is to put as many microbes as possible in contact with the contamination. Once the microbes reach the contaminants, the feeding frenzy begins.
Organic pollution comprises chains of carbon molecules.
Some carbon chains are long. Some are short. Petroleum products, restaurant grease, septic sludge, animal urine and manure are examples of organic contaminants. The by-products of this process are carbon dioxide, water and trace elements of fatty acids, all of which are extremely beneficial to the environment. However, all bioremediation companies and products are not equal.
