Soil and groundwater contamination remains one of the most time consuming and costly environmental remediation challenges. Several technologies developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have been shown to be quite effective in treating soils and groundwater plumes. Among them are three techniques for treating problems in situ (in place), rather than physically removing the contaminants and dealing with them at another location. These technologies are in situ redox manipulation (ISRM), in situ gaseous treatment (ISGT) and in situ bioremediation. These techniques are available now for use, license and/or exploration of co-development opportunities.
