Types of Bioremediation
Various bioremediation techniques are used to clean the contaminated water and soil. These are mentioned as follows:
Biostimulation
In this process, the growth of microbes or bacteria are stimulated to clean the pollutant. At first, the contaminated water or soil is mixed with specific nutrients and these nutrients stimulate the growth of bacteria or microbes. Now, the large quantity of microbes perform quick cleaning of the contaminants.
Bioaugmentation
In this process, specific cultured microbes are added to the polluted water or soil. These microbes then clean the polluted environment by degrading the pollutants. To treat the municipal wastewater, bioaugmentation is used. To control the growth of microorganisms becomes challenging in this process.
Intrinsic Bioremediation
This method is mainly used to treat underground places such as petroleum tanks. Because, it is difficult to detect any leakage in such underground places. So, using microbes to clean such underground tanks is an efficient method.
Process of Bioremediation
Bioremediation is a type of biotechnical waste management process used to clean polluted water and soil. The process of bioremediation involves the use of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, etc. Various polluted areas such as polluted soil, water, municipal water tanks, sewage water, etc are cleaned through this method. This is an eco-friendly method. In this article, we will cover the process of bioremediation in detail.
