ADVENTUS Bioremediation Technologies Highlighted at BATTELLE Symposium

Remediation firm's patented technologies featured in eleven Platform and Poster sessions

BALTIMORE, MD (April 28, 2009) - The Adventus Group, a remediation biotechnology enterprise for treatment of contaminated soil, sediment and groundwater environments, is proud to announce that its EPA-approved, proprietary products will be widely highlighted during the upcoming International In Situ and On-Site Bioremediation Symposium, being held May 5-8 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Many environmental consultants and engineers continually seek the best biotechnology-based remedial solutions to effectively manage complex, challenging environmental liabilities. Ideally, sustainable solutions can be identified to aggressively treat a range of contaminants, while saving their clients time and money. Since its incorporation in 2003, Adventus has been demonstrating at field-scale around the world an unparalleled ability to remediate chlorinated solvents, pesticides/herbicides, heavy metals, organic explosives, and petroleum hydrocarbons

The sessions being showcased at this symposium are summarized in the Table below.
