Community Mission

The International Community of Interest’s mission is threefold:

• Connect:  Provide a virtual Post for Members to network and remain active in the Society while working overseas
• Inform:  Facilitate delivery of information and interchange on A/E/C issues of concern to project professionals working at OCONUS locations
• Collaborate:  Assist Combatant Commands and Regions with Industry-Government Engagement to solve military engineering challenges

  Bio-Electro-Chemical Technologies for Sustainable Remediation of Contaminants, and Micron-Scale Carbon Injections Used to Remediate Residual Hydrocarbons

  This presentation will introduce a novel bio-electro-chemical (BEC) technique that can address the challenge of effective and sustainable cleanup of contaminants in tight geological formations such as clay and silts. BEC leverages the interactions of microbes and electron transfer, and the electrochemical reactions in such processes, to achieve degradation of a variety of contaminants, such as petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and PFAS.
