What are the advantages to using ORC as opposed to other remediation options?
When considering alternatives for remediation of a dissolved phase contaminant plume, ORC is generally the most cost effective treatment option. Due to the accelerating effect that oxygen has on in-situ biodegradation processes, ORC is often used to expedite, and therefore reduce the cost of natural attenuation approaches to site remediation. The process of using ORC to reduce the cost of natural attenuation and expedite site closure has been termed &Accelerated Natural Attenuation” by the environmental engineering industry.
