Abstract

We propose the expansion of bioremediation technology using Reactive Barriers by including a novel approach using Sequential Treatment Steps combined with either active or passive hydrogeologic control of groundwater. Those researchers involved with this BBSRC Link proposal suggest this approach, hereafter termed Sequential Reactive Barrier (SEREBAR) techniques, can provide a potential break-through in contaminated land and groundwater remediation akin the impact that the introduction and application of waste water treatment plants provided to the water industry. To realise the full potential of SEREBAR technology in the UK there is a need through the BBSRC Link programme to combine novel scientific understanding of biodegradative potential and mechanisms with engineering tools that will predict long-term performance of SEREBAR technology.
