Bioremediation: It' s Working
The Bioremediation process begins with nine wells pumping water from the ground into a collection system From there the water goes into the bioreactors Stirred and aerated by devices inside the tanks and broken down or "digested" by the bacteria the contaminated water moves con-tinually through the big containers From the bioreactors
