Our services are firmly grounded in extensive scientific understanding and profound hands-on experience.?We offer both short- and long-term studies, to help you with your questions.

Don’t underestimate the importance of air treatment. Investing in sustainable air treatment solutions has more benefits than you might think! For one, good indoor air quality improves employee health and productivity, which in turn can lead to a better work environment and increased profitability. Additionally, compliance with local and national air quality regulations is important, especially if your company works in an industry where emissions and pollution are a concern. And finally, your company has a responsibility to minimize its environmental impact and carbon footprint, and air treatment solutions can be an effective way to achieve this goal.

A comprehensive approach for microbial corrosion prevention. How to identify, prevent and solve microbial corrosion issues in your assets. Microbial corrosion can impact a wide variety of materials, ranging from metals to concrete and plastics. This type of corrosion arises when microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae thrive on the surface of a material in an environment that promotes corrosion. The acceleration of corrosion due to microbial presence can result in expensive repairs and replacements of equipment and infrastructure. Hence, it is crucial to comprehend the causes, effects, and solutions of microbial corrosion.

Biobased and biodegradable polymers are providing the key to tackling single-use plastic pollution by reducing plastic waste and offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Plastic pollution and the disposal of single-use plastic packaging are critical sustainability issues. Currently, we generate roughly 300 million tonnes of plastic waste every year, which is equivalent to the weight of the entire human population. Since the early 1950s, it’s estimated that more than 8 billion tonnes of fossil-based plastic have been produced, with approximately 60% of it ending up in either landfills or the natural environment. Plastic waste can persist in the environment for centuries, whether in rivers, oceans, or on land, causing significant environmental harm.

Our dedicated team is pleased to offer you its expertise in the selecting, testing and optimizing of the most appropriate treatment or valorization technology for waste waters and organic waste streams, based on a strong scientific know how and thorough field experience.

Molecular monitoring of microbial communities allows you to Identify and quantify specific bacteria in the community. Monitor the microbial community over time. Comparison of microbial communities from different sites, conditions. In 2016, Avecom and Microbial Insights have started Microbial Insights Europe, a collaboration to better serve the European clients for molecular analyses. Microbial insights offers a full spectrum of molecular biological tools including qPCR, QuantArray®, In Situ Microcosms (ISMs) and Stable Isotope Probing (SIP) in their new local laboratory in Belgium.

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), the deterioration of materials by micro-organisms or their activities, impacts nearly all industries and is responsible for an estimated 40% of internal corrosion.

Avecom is pleased to offer you our expertise in selecting, implementing and follow up of the most suitable soil remediation technique via lab scale screening of different remediation techniques. In case of biological remediation, we suggest the performance of Microcosm tests. These are a useful tool since different conditions (natural attenuation, biostimulation and bioaugmentation) can be tested simultaneously, and as such, the best solution can be selected. Avecom also offers the screening of the potential of chemical oxidantia (ISCO) and chemical reductantia (ISCR). Avecom has more than 25 years of experience in selecting the right biological degradation strategy for different soil pollutants from industry and agriculture. Contaminants suitable for biodegradation include Mineral oil, BTEX, Styrene, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) like naphthalene and biphenyl, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), Cyanide,...

At Avecom, our commitment to our clients is embodied in our cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art facilities. Our significant investment in top-tier resources is a testament to our dedication to deliver nothing short of exceptional service.
