ENDOPHYTE ASSISTED PHYTOREMEDIATION
Endophytes
​​Intrinsyx Environmental uses its proprietary 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​
Combats phytotoxicity​​
Breakdown of contaminants in-planta​
Decreases nitrogen fertilizer requirements​
Decreases phosphorus fertilizer requirements​
Increases drought, flood, and salt tolerance
'Endo' - inside
'Phyte' - plant
Endophytes are naturally occurring microbes living inside of plant cells
Inoculated poplars thriving in contaminated environments
A Modern Approach to Remediation
Endophyte-assisted phytoremediation (EAP) is a modernized and enhanced form of traditional phytoremediation. Inoculating plants with our endophytes leads to superior plant and tree health and increased degradation of contaminants.
​​
Our technology helps our clients achieve their remediation objectives more rapidly, bringing projects to closure in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.
​​
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.
At some sites, EAP has allowed for the discontinuation of costly groundwater pump-and-treat systems and soil vapor extraction systems, producing significant cost savings for our clients.
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, including:​​
Sequestering atmospheric CO2​
Less climate control demands for trees near buildings​
Intercepting stormwater and reducing erosion​
Increasing property values of nearby homes​
Providing habitats for native wildlife​
Reducing the heat island effect in urban areas​
Improving the mental health of nearby communities
