Enhanced in situ bioremediation involves the delivery of organic substrates into the subsurface to stimulate anaerobic degradation of contaminants in groundwater. Delivering these substrates is an intricate dance to say the least. Insufficient loading rates or uneven delivery can result in areas where complete dechlorination fails to occur. Too much substrate causes fermentation reactions. In this class, you will learn about the technology and methods that can allow you to see successful remediation in a cost-effective and timely fashion.

NJ-LSRP-SRPLB Course #2021-135

Presenters:

Dr. Robert Borden, Principal Engineer, EOS Remediation 

Alexander Korff, Business Development Manager, Eijkelkamp NA

Dr. Robert “Bob” Borden is the Principal Engineer at EOS Remediation, LLC and Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. He has over thirty years’ experience in the development and implementation of technologies for in situ remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Bob has developed technologies for in situ bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, explosives and propellants, and 1,4-dioxane. With his students, he developed the use of emulsified vegetable oil (EVO) as a slow-release, sustainable technology for in situ bioremediation.

Alex Korff is a Professional Engineer and the Business Development Manager for Eijkelkamp North America (ENA). Alex is responsible for the Groundwater and Soil Division Portfolio supplied and manufactured by Eijkelkamp.

Before starting with ENA, Alex was involved with product development and technical sales for Höganäs Environment Solutions, LLC (HES). He has extensive experience with remedial projects and water treatment systems. Alex spent several years as a researcher concentrated on chemical/biological warfare agent, pesticides, and toxic industrial compound (TIC) remediation at the EPA facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. He is the co-author on multiple EPA reports, sampling methods, and remediation investigations.  Mr. Korff earned a B.S. and M.S in Environmental Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology.  His thesis was on the treatability of chlorinated solvents with an enriched co-metabolic sludge and dehalococcoide consortium with a series of silicone hollow-fiber membrane bioreactors.
