Reliable remediation through bioaugmentation

Bioremediation has two methods: "biostimulation" and "bioaugmentation." The former activates indigenous microbes by supplying oxygen and nutrients, but it has had the drawback that the effect tends to be unstable if there are not enough microbes capable of breaking down the contaminants.

Bioaugmentation, on the other hand, is an approach that directly introduces microbes suited to the contaminants at the site. With this method, the introduced microbes break down the contaminants as intended, enabling reliable, highly reproducible remediation in a short period.

By adopting this bioaugmentation, BioRangers achieves effective remediation.

Breaking down oil and VOC contamination with complex microbial communities

Oil and VOC contamination differs in composition and characteristics from substance to substance, and sites where multiple types of oil are mixed together are not uncommon.

Oppenheimer Formula is a complex bio-agent containing a high concentration of microbes collected from the natural world. Microbial communities adept at breaking down oil and VOCs work together to break down complex contamination efficiently.

Safety and effectiveness proven by a track record

Oppenheimer Bioremediation boasts a world-class track record in oil contamination remediation, and its safety and effectiveness are recognized as a product registered under the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) National Contingency Plan (NCP).

In Japan as well, it has a track record of more than 1,000 remediation projects, and its adoption by public research grants attests to its evaluation as a highly reliable technology.
