Biosearch Ambiente – Center for Environmental Biotechnology – is an Environmental Science company providing remediation solutions for contaminated sites using bioremediation technologies.
The company was established in 2001 in Turin, Italy.
bioremediation
Bioremediation employs a suite of remediation technologies based on the action of naturally occurring microorganisms which can be stimulated to destroy or detoxify organic and inorganic pollutants in the environment. These microorganisms are present even in highly contaminated environmental matrices and they are able to transform pollutants into innocuous substances.
Bioremediation processes are usually carried out in situ (i.e. without removing the polluted matrix), treating soil superficially or below ground and groundwater. Bioremediation is a relatively low cost technology effective against many of the most widespread environmental contaminants.
SITE SPECIFIC REMEDIATION
The strategy adopted at Biosearch Ambiente relies upon treatability studies, carried out both in the laboratory (microcosm tests) and directly on site (pilot tests), to define the full-scale remediation approach. Each site requires specific solutions to return the environmental matrices to their vital functions.
contaminants treated
Biosearch Ambiente is listed in the Italian Register of Environmental Operators – cat. 9. Our track record demonstrates that seriously contaminated soil and groundwater can be effectively decontaminated using a bioremediation approach, with high economic and environmental sustainability.
REMEDIATION PHASES
The reclamation of a polluted site is a complex and multi-phase process. Our highly qualified team can guide the client through the different phases of the regulatory process, evaluate the available technologies and identify the approach that can best guarantee an effective and sustainable solution to the problem. Effectiveness, time and cost are all taken into account.
Case studies
Thanks to many years of experience in the field of environmental remediation and constant research & development acivities, Biosearch Ambiente is able to deal with extremely complex and dispersed environmental contamination situations.
Effective and sustainable remedial interventions have been applied succesfully to different types of contamination.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Biosearch Ambiente has participated in several research activities, not only in the remediation field but also in many other environmental sectors, in order to improve its know-how and explore novel technologies of environmental and commercial value. These projects aimed at the production of biopolymers, biofuels, hydrogen from biomass waste and the environmental impact assessment of production systems.
