Bioremediation – relocation of contaminated material to a local treatment facility (Biocell), constructed for the purpose of treating impacted soil. Involves the promotion the growth of naturally occurring micro‐ organisms to promote degradation of contaminants.
"On his part, Dr Marvin Dekil, Project Coordinator of HYPREP, said that contractors handling the clean-up were already using one of the best soil treatment technologies, biocell, for the project.
According to him, biocell was a biological treatment facility that remedies contaminated soil with use of natural micro organisms.
“The contaminated soil is excavated and put into the biocell for bio-remediation treatment to take place. This allows the natural micro organism to degrade the contaminated soil.
“The micro organism degrades the contaminated soil to a level that would be good enough for us to return the soil back to where we took it from,” he said."
