Over the last 8 years, the focus of our Company Biorem Engineering has been on the development of an on-spot remediation technology for sediments contaminated with poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and other persistent toxic chemicals.
Early research and development existed through a collaborative partnership with international universities and research institutes, as well as industrial partners.

Through dedication and well-orchestrated product development, after several years a proven technology was developed for on-spot PCB degradation: a catalytic biocomposite (Bio-CAT). This is an active formulation that, when injected into a sediment matrix, degrades the PCB through a combined action of biological catalysis (hydrogen release) and chemical degradation (hydrogen-catalyzed PCB degradation). 

For this formulation a European patent was filed in July 2009. 

Consecutively, an engine was developed that could at the same time:

• Inject precise quantities of product into a contaminated sediment
• Contain a certain stock of product
• Mix the product intimately with the sediment granules
• Be accurately positioned and controlled

This engine was developed in prototype in October 2009, tested and put in operation in November by Biorem Génie Civil sprl at which time a patent was filed to protect this promising injection methodology:
