In June we will have a four-person panel with thought leaders from EnviroForensics and REGENESIS who will discuss The Four Cornerstones of a Successful Remediation Project.
In July Microbial Insights President, Dora Taggart, will present on How to Select and Use Molecular Biological Tools. Use the form on this page to signup for both webinars today!
Expert Remediation Consultant Panel: The Four Cornerstones of a Successful Groundwater Remediation Project
Tuesday, June 26th, 2018 | 11am pacific\2pm eastern
In this webinar we are pleased to have a panel of remediation experts who will each bring unique expertise, background and skill sets to a discussion on remediation best practices. Jeffrey Carnahan and Keith Gaskill of EnviroForensics® will join Barry Poling and Doug Davis of REGENESIS® for a presentation on the cornerstones of a successful groundwater remediation project. The four essential cornerstones to building a successful groundwater remediation approach are: Dynamics, Diversity, Certainty and Affordability. During this webinar presentation, we will explain how Dynamics, Diversity, Certainty and Affordability can individually, and jointly, impact the overall project success. Real world examples will be used to highlight important points, and to demonstrate how EnviroForensics and REGENESIS managed a high-profile remediation project at a chlorinated solvent release by having all four cornerstones firmly in place.

How to Select and Use Molecular Biological Tools (MBTs)
Wednesday, July 18th, 2018 | 11am pacific\2pm eastern
In this webinar we were pleased to have as a special guest speaker Dora Taggart, President of Microbial Insights, Inc. (MI). Her presentation included a series of case studies that demonstrated how molecular biological tools (MBTs) such as QuantArray® and compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA) provided actionable data that directly impacted site management decisions. This webinar will present case studies that address how QuantArray®-Chlor is used to accurately quantify halorespiring bacteria and functional genes in conjunction with PlumeStop® and enhanced anaerobic bioremediation, CSIA is employed to conclusively demonstrate contaminant degradation, and Stable isotope probing (SIP) and QuantArray®-Petro results guides remedy selection at petroleum impacted sites.
