Bioaugmentation

From solving complex environmental issues, such as the remediation of chlorinated solvents, to designing safe solid waste landfills, Shaw is a worldwide leader in environmental protection and remediation. Our skilled scientists and engineers utilize a wide range of emerging and commercial technologies to solve our clients' problems involving hazardous, toxic, and radioactive materials in all types of environmental media.

Shaw has more than a decade of bioaugmentation expertise. We have performed bioaugmentation for chlorinated solvents, PBCs, PAHs, as well as MTBE. Our highly skilled team of environmental scientists and engineers have also successfully cultured and applied biodegradetive bacteria to a wide array of ex situ systems.

We have developed the Shaw Dechlorinating Culture – SDC9TM. This technology was created specifically to treat chlorinated solvent contaminated aquifers. The culture contains Dehalococcoides sp. (DHC) bacteria that degrade highly chlorinated solvents to non-toxic ethene, making it well suited for treating sites where remediation of PCE and TCE has stalled at these intermediates. The SDC-9TM culture has been succussfully applied at sites throughout the United States, including some of the largest in situ bioaugmentation project performed to date.
