Freshwater Biodegradation
Biodegradation testing in river, lake, and municipal water simulations.
Anaerobic Biodegradation
Testing under oxygen-deficient high-solids landfill environments.
Abiotic degradation
Weathering, UV radiation, and thermal breakdown testing.
Readily & Inherent
OECD-aligned primary chemical biodegradation screening tests.
Biomethane Potential (BMP)
Determining methane yield of feedstocks for waste-to-energy.
