Our  Goal:  A Clean Environment

BioRenova's goal is a clean environment
.  We are environmentalists who believe in stewardship of our resources, and assist others in the protection and clean up of these resources.  To this end, we develop, manufacture and distribute innovative products to clean our resources such as: contaminated aquifers, drinking water, and soils.  Our products clean up the environment by working in concert with nature.
 

Company History

BioRenova
was founded thru the union of Inland Consultants, Inc., Inland Environmental, Inc. and their sister laboratory, Environmental Laboratories, Inc. These companies had been providing environmental consulting and site remediation services since the early 1980s. They have had extensive experience in bioremediation of soils and groundwater contaminated with hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents. Inland Consultants was one of the first companies to utilize metallic peroxygens as an oxygen-generating source for in situ bioremediation of hydrocarbons.
 

Product Development

Biological Oxygen Compound+Plus™, (BOC+™)
Is a
two (2)-part, cost effective, food grade formulation with Calcium Peroxide that contains approximately 18% oxygen by weight, (more than our competitors), and produces a slow and sustained release of molecular oxygen for up to one year (depending on site conditions) when in contact with soil moisture or groundwater.

In addition to greater oxygen-releasing capabilities, unlike its competitors, BOC+ also contains food grade macro and micronutrients, pH adjustment, a blend of biodegradable surfactants, carbon sources and other ingredients that promote and support beneficial microbial growth and enzymatic diversity. The degradation rate is proportional to the amount of biomass, more biomass, and faster degradation of contaminants  


Dehalogenation Compound+Plus (DHC+),

In the late 1980s Environmental Laboratories, Inc., started performing experiments with electron acceptors and donors for
anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated solvents. Efforts were directed at Tetrachloroethlyene (PCE) and their degradation products. Inland Consultants, Inc. and Inland Environmental, Inc. assisted in the experimentation and the securing of a United States and Japanese patent for a mixture of electron acceptors, donors, and proprietary ingredients known as DHC+, which promotes reductive de-chlorination. DH+ is effective in degrading a wide range of halogenated compounds such as: carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methylene chloride, certain chlorinated pesticides/herbicides, dyes perchlorate, nitrate, nitroaromatic explosives, dyes CFCs, some metals and radionuclides

The use of DHC+ for reductive dechlorination did not result in the formation of large amounts of vinyl chloride (VC) and at some sites, VC did not accumulate, but was simultaneously degraded as it formed. Thus, there was no accumulation of VC as is common in reductive dechlorination of chlorinated solvents with other methods of remediation. 
 

Chloroclean Inoculum,
Experiments conducted by Environmental Laboratories Inc. revealed that anaerobic bioremediation of halogenated compounds could be enhanced with the use of sludge from a sewage plant, operating an anaerobic digestion system. This sludge was pathogen free, contained a large consortium of microbes, and contained Dehalogenation species of microbes known to facilitate complete dechlorination to ethene.

The sludge was used to bioaugment Dehalogenation Compound+Plus as an Inoculum for the remediation of a solvent dispensing and storage facility, Technical Products Company, Inc., located in Chicago, Illinois, which had been in operation since 1939.  The total extractable organic halides (EOX) were extremely high, PCE was at  5,226 ppm in some locations. The site was remediated in 18 months to residential promulgated standards and received a No Further Remediation letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.  Cultures were extracted from the site and further enriched to increase its ability to degrade halogenated compounds at those sites that are deficient in a large consortium of microbes containing Dehalogenation species.
