TSI DC Bioaugmentation CultureTM

1035 Philadelphia Pike Suite E Wilmington Delaware 19809 302-798-9553 Fax 302-798-9554 www.terrasystems.net TSI DC Bioaugmentation CultureTM TSI DC Bioaugmentation CultureTM is an enriched natural bacteria culture that contains Dehalococcoides species for bioaugmentation. This culture dechlorinates tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) to the non-toxic product ethene. The culture also biodegrades 1,1,1-trichloroethane to 1,1-dichloroethene, 1,1-dichloroethane, and chloroethane. It also can biodegrade carbon tetrachloride and chloroform to methylene chloride and innocuous products. It can be used at sites where bacteria capable of complete reductive dechlorination are not present or there is a need to decrease the remediation time frame. Although antidotal, it has been estimated that Dehalococcoides are not present in 10 to 40 percent of chlorinated solvent contaminated sites. Key Benefits of TSI DC Bioaugmentation CultureTM The TSI-DCTM Bioaugmentation Culture has been proven to be effective. There is a growing body of laboratory and field data that shows that the Dehalococcoides group of microorganisms is solely responsible for the complete dechlorination of PCE and TCE to ethene. At sites where Dehalococcoides microorganisms are not present or are found at low numbers, the process will often "stall” at cis-1,2-dichloroethene. The TSI-DCTM Bioaugmentation Culture will promote the complete dechlorination of PCE or TCE. The TSI-DCTM Bioaugmentation Culture contains greater than 1010 Dehalococcoides/L. The TSI-DCTM Bioaugmentation Culture is cost effective. The cost of bioaugmentation is typically a minor component of the total remediation project cost. At sites where the Dehalococcoides is present, but at low numbers or poorly distributed, consideration should be given to bioaugmentation to reduce the treatment time. Bioaugmentation can reduce the time required to grow the Dehalococcoides population to effective cell densities. Therefore, future costs can be reduced. ? The TSI-DCTM Bioaugmentation Culture is competitively priced at less than $175 per liter of culture plus shipping depending on volume ordered. ? The TSI-DCTM Bioaugmentation Culture works with all commonly used electron donors. ? The TSI-DCTM Bioaugmentation Culture is not genetically modified or engineered. ?
