Natural Attenuation Testing Services
Is natural attenuation (NA) working? This is a very important question given that NA is the least expensive remediation solution for a contaminated site. One of the most significant challenges facing a project manager is getting regulator approval for a natural attenuation project. And this is where RespirTek™ can be of great value.
RespirTek`s Microbial Communication Service combines the best of respirometric science with environmental analytical and microbiological testing to produce highly relevant, useful and reliable data; documenting that, through natural attenuation, regulatory levels can be confirmed and attained.
The natural attenuation testing bundle at a minimum consists of microbial respiration activity and HPC and/or specific degrader plate counts (HDPC) testing. This part of Microbial Communication Service answers the questions of rate or time and bacteria counts so necessary in assessing NA.
Regulators respect RespirTek`s independent status to support natural attenuation approvals based upon solid science using ISO 17025 Accreditation.
