Bioremediation Services

Bioremediation Services help determine causes of contamination and the best courses of remediation. Bioremediation of contaminated soil and water is simply microbial ecology in action. Brockport Microbiology will conduct feasibility studies for in situ bioremediation of contaminated soils and groundwater, determine the suitability of sites for natural attenuation, or optimize biostimulation and bioaugmentation systems.

We will collect samples from aerobic or anaerobic sites, and conduct laboratory microcosm tests to evaluate the potential for enhancement by addition of nutrients to stimulate oxidation or reductive dechlorination. We work with a variety of vendors of bacterial cultures that are adapted for growth in a wide range of different environments.

Brockport Microbiology will work with environmental engineers to optimize bioremediation processes, or simply to explain these processes to regulators, attorneys or stakeholders in simple, easy-to-understand layman's terms, in writing or as an oral presentation.


 
Brockport Microbiology offers customized workshops, training sessions or written materials on relevant metabolic processes for wastewater treatment. Wastewater Treatment Services

Biological treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater is based on bacterial metabolism. However, plant operators, engineers, laboratory personnel and environmental regulators may at times lack an adequate understanding of these metabolic processes to enable them to optimize plant processes.

Brockport Microbiology can help by offering customized workshops, training sessions or written materials on relevant metabolic processes, such as those involved in the removal of nitrogen, BOD, odor, algae or phosphorus. We can also aid in identifying and correcting specific problems in biological treatment in activated sludge, lagoons, fixed films or anaerobic digesters.

We also provide services for professionals offering solutions for the wastewater industry. Manufacturers of enzymes, bacteria or biological waste removal systems can benefit from independent scientific validation of their process or product. Brockport Microbiology has the expertise and the experience to design and conduct laboratory and field studies to optimize or validate your system and to provide a scientific rationale for your system's effectiveness.


 
Technology Assessment Services

Technical assessment helps decision-makers to truly understand the market potential of the technology they are dealing with. Mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, capital investments, donations and any other business deal requires the decision-makers to truly understand the market potential of the technology they are dealing with.

Brockport Microbiology has the expertise and the experience to assess technologies and intellectual property in a wide range of biotechnology. We conduct interviews, and research the scientific, industrial and popular literature to give you an up-to-date, technically correct and thorough report on the potential uses of the technology, competing technologies, and relative advantages and disadvantages to each. Our reports have earned praise at Standard and Poors, Eastman Kodak Company, Donology and Kanon Consulting.



 
Brockport Microbiology applies the basic principles of microbial ecology to diagnose and correct or prevent damage to industrial processes by contaminating microbes. Industrial Contamination Services

Any industrial process that provides a moist environment allows for the growth of microbes. Bacteria and mold can cause fouling and deterioration of wood, metal and plastic pipes and equipment. Contamination of solutions and processes can destroy valuable products or reagents.

Brockport Microbiology applies the basic principles of microbial ecology to diagnose and correct or prevent damage to industrial processes by contaminating microbes. We will identify the culprits and recommend solutions for treatment and prevention of contamination that are compatible with your industrial process. Please call us for a confidential assessment of you particular situation.



 
Brockport Microbiology can help in the assessment and remediation of airborne biological agents.

Indoor Air Quality Services Photo
Airborne biological agents, such as bacteria and mold can cause serious heath problems including mold toxicity, allergies, sinusitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, asthma, Legionnaires' disease, and other diseases and symptoms.

Brockport Microbiology can help in the assessment and remediation of airborne biological agents. We can conduct a complete and thorough microbial IAQ investigation. We follow ACGIH guidelines and use only AIHA accredited laboratories for sample identification. We then interpret the laboratory results into a simple, clear and useful explanation of the relationship between the contaminating microbes and their effects on human health. We can also assist you in conducting an IAQ investigation or in interpretation of laboratory results.

We design sampling plans to meet the needs of your study and to fit your budget. We also provide expert testimony in cases involving mold contamination of residential or commercial buildings. Soon we will offer onsite microscopic spore analysis for immediate results. Please call us to discuss your needs.


 
Brockport Microbiology can provide customized biotechnology workshops in all areas. Technical Training Services

Brockport Microbiology can provide customized biotechnology workshops in all areas including PCR, DNA isolation and analysis, biohazard containment, bacterial and mold sampling or culture techniques, basic laboratory safety, anaerobic growth techniques, or any specific protocol.

We offer a laboratory monitoring and training program for onsite microbiology laboratories staffed with technician-level personnel. For far less than the cost of hiring a Ph.D.-level microbiologist to run your microbiology lab full-time, Brockport Microbiology can provide this level of expertise on an occasional or as-needed basis, to keep your staff of technicians well-trained and up-to-date. We can be available whenever a crisis or a question arises, so that you and your staff can feel secure in knowing that we are only a phone call away.
