Microbial Solutions

uses its collection of unique, naturally occurring

 tree endophytes to inoculate trees and grasses

to effectively remove and degrade contaminants

in groundwater, surface water, and soil. 

Endophyte Benefits

 

Provides phyto protection to fatal levels of contaminants to plants

Breakdown of contaminants in-planta

Decreases nitrogen fertilizer requirements

Decreases phosphorus fertilizer requirements

Increases drought, flood, and salt tolerance

Endophytes living inside of plant cells

A Modern Approach for Historic Contamination

Our endophyte-assisted phytoremediation systems

have allowed for site groundwater hydrological control and regulator-approved discontinuation of costly groundwater pump-and-treat systems

and soil vapor extraction systems.

 

Poplar trees can reach groundwater

at depths of up to 30 feet alone. 

Solar driven systems can address and clean contaminated groundwater at any depth.

 

Our proprietary systems have been deployed at

 

Superfund sites, former military sites, industrial sites,

and office parks

with the review and approval of the EPA and state regulatory agencies.

The Intrinsic Benefits of Trees

Our sustainable remediation systems provide a greener alternative to traditional remediation practices.

In addition to cleaning up harmful contaminants and releasing innocuous by-products,

trees provide a host of benefits to the surrounding communities and ecosystems.

 

Sequester atmospheric CO2

Trees near buildings can reduce heating and air conditioning demands, reducing emissions

Intercept stormwater and reduce erosion

Increase property value of nearby homes

Provide habitat for native wildlife

Reduce the heat island effect in urban areas

Improve the mental health of nearby communities
