ex-situ bioremediation

Ex-situ bioremediation is a method for cleaning up contaminated soil or groundwater by removing it from its original location. Once extracted, specialized bacteria or microorganisms are introduced to break down pollutants like oil, chemicals, or heavy metals. This process is monitored and optimized in controlled settings, such as bioreactors or treatment units, to improve cleanup efficiency. After treatment, the cleaned material is returned or safely disposed of. It is an effective, environmentally friendly approach that leverages natural biological processes to restore contaminated sites.
