Under normal conditions there are sufficient nutrients to sustain microbial growth but when a release occurs, metabolism may be limited by the balance in electron donors and acceptors or the available nutrients.
Our approach to substrate dosing is based on site conditions. JRW Bioremediation L.L.C. provides substrates and nutrients for anaerobic bioremediation. The substrates provided include highly soluble materials such as WILCLEAR® sodium and potassium lactate, SoluLac® ethyl lactate, and Wilke Whey® whey powder and slowly soluble substrates including LactOil® soy micro-emulsion, and ChitoRem® chitin complex.
Under normal conditions there are sufficient nutrients to sustain microbial growth but when a release occurs, metabolism may be limited by the balance in electron donors and acceptors or the available nutrients. This nutrient limitation may not be apparent once a substrate has been added to a system as degradation kinetics are significantly increased. In order to maximize degradation kinetics, the addition of a nutrient is prefered. In cases where a system is partially nutrient limited and there is excess substrate, the addition of a nutrient can not only increase kinetics but also increase substrate utilization efficiency as less of the substrate is used for non-degradation growth.
There are two types of nutrients supplements, those that provide growth factors and those that provide trace metals and minerals.
JRW’s Accelerite® bioremediation nutrient is a specially formulated mix of growth factors that quickly stimulates anaerobic metabolism increasing both degradation kinetics and substrate utilization efficiency. Accelerite® can be added to any substrate to increase effectiveness.
JRW’s ChitoRem® chitin complex contains about 1% nitrogen in a slow-release form that can help stimulate microbial growth. This can be important in poor soils or in situations where very high biomass is desired such as biochemical reactors.
JRW is committed to the health and safety of our employees and our clients during the COVID-19 health crisis. Although our core business is considered essential, JRW has taken the step of encouraging all non-essential personnel to work remotely whenever possible. Our communications program seamlessly integrates telephone and web contact with each individual within the organization as well as our clients allowing staff to limit personal face to face contact while maintaining a high degree of personal attention. Each staff member has real-time access to project files and order databases allowing us to work remotely to maintain up to date information about your project and the status of your order. Our technical, logistics and administrative professionals also remain available to assist in your project planning and execution.
We will continue to work to maintain a commitment to superior service throughout the current health situation and hope that you, your staff, and their families remain healthy.
