This webinar is also included as part of a series titled "Web Series: Environmental Bioremediation" and consists of four webinars:

To view individual webinars, please click on the links below:

• Environmental Bioremediation - Microbial Biodegradation Principles
• Environmental Bioremediation: In situ Technologies for Decontamination of Soil
• Environmental Bioremediation: Ex situ Technologies for Decontamination of Soil
• Environmental Bioremediation: In situ Technologies for Decontamination of Groundwater

You save 20% off the cost when you enroll in the series.

After participating in this webinar, you will be able to:

• Understand the mechanisms of microbial biodegradation processes used in the removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater
• Develop a better understanding of the microbial and environmental factors controlling site bioremediation processes
• Identify the types of contaminants commonly found in soil and groundwater
• Learn about the kinetics of biodegradation
• Determine the type of biological processes needed for the removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater

Description
This webinar addresses the removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater by microbial processes, focusing on microbial metabolism and biodegradation mechanisms during aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation processes. Factors controlling the effectiveness of site bioremediation, including the nature and concentration of contaminants, bioavailability and biodegradability of contaminants, type of microorganisms present at the site and environmental conditions, will be discussed.

Who Should Attend
Environmental Engineers, Geologists, Soil Scientists, Project Managers, Consulting Engineers, Environmental Educators, Environmental Risk Managers, Environmental protection officers, Lawyers, Municipal Planners

Horaire : 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
