Is METS a bioremediation process?
Depending upon the type and concentration of contaminant, and other site conditions, the best and cheapest choice for treatment using METS may be with a biological agent. In every case, the cultured microorganisms are drawn from nature, typically from locations where the microorganisms evolved to live off substances that we consider to be contamination. Even better, the METS process stimulates microorganisms that are already present in the soil being treated. It is not unusual for these preexisting biological cultures to be a big factor in degrading the surrounding contamination, once they have been stimulated.
