We use RamSorb®, a hydrocarbon absorbent product that contains indigenous petroleum-digesting bacteria within its cellulose structure. The unique encapsulation properties of RamSorb® augment wicking of hydrocarbons from surrounding soil when mixed by tilling. The hydrocarbons remain encapsulated until degradation is complete while preventing leaching to surrounding soils.

Bioremediation refers to the process whereby living organisms (i.e. bacteria) break down contaminants into less toxic forms. The indigenous bacteria found in RamSorb® provide degradation of hydrocarbons into water, carbon dioxide and an assortment of salts and amino acids.

RAM Environmental Technologies prefers bioremediation to other clean-up technologies for several reasons. Bioremediation minimizes physical disruption to the site. In many cases, soils may be remediated in-situ. Soils that require excavation may be treated onsite and reused as backfill material. This reduces overall cleanup costs by eliminating the need for disposal, transportation and backfill material.

In addition, bioremediation offers a unique and complete solution to petroleum contamination. While bioremediation transforms contamination into ecosystem friendly molecules, other technologies only transfer the contamination to another site. Bioremediation reduces and in most cases eliminates liability issues. Other technologies may expose the generator to greater liabilities in the future.
