WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF BIO-REMEDIATION?

Bio-Remediation is an attractive option for the remediation of hydrocarbon contaminants. The following are a few of the advantages & reasons why you should consider this innovative process and the related SpillAway Brands™ Products:

• The process is an ecologically safe and natural process. It is "natures way" of solving contamination problems.
  
• Bio-Remediation is cost effective. The process is generally 60-70% less costly than other technologies.
  
• Little disruption of surrounding, non-contaminated areas.
  
• Virtually no investment in "capital equipment".
  
• Can remediate areas that are not easily accessible or are completely inaccessible to other technologies.
  
• Bio-Remediation can be accomplished in-place (In Situ) thereby eliminating the hazard of "off-site" contamination caused by digging, hauling and transporting of contaminants to other areas.
  
• Air quality and air pollution concerns from volatile chemical evaporation are eliminated.
  
• After bio-remediation is completed, the environment is virtually restored to its pristine condition.
  
• The process poses no health or safety risks to your employees thereby reducing insurance costs.
