2023 Battelle Bioremediation Symposium

Updated – This event has passed, however we have included pdf versions of available posters and presentations below.

The 2023 Battelle Bioremediation Symposium is scheduled for May 8-11, 2023 in Austin, Texas.

The Symposium’s technical program is tailored to cater to various professionals within the environmental sector, including scientists, engineers, regulators, remediation site owners, constructors, and other experts from universities, government agencies, consultants, and R&D and service firms worldwide. With an expected attendance of over 700 professionals from 15 countries, it provides a platform for sharing innovative tools, research results, practical experiences, and advancements in bioremediation.

The program is designed to reflect the current state-of-the-science data collection, analysis, and visualization and features novel approaches in remedy design and implementation to manage contamination effectively. The 2023 program includes sessions and panel discussions that cover a wide range of topics such as emerging contaminants, management of PFAS, climate change mitigation strategies, regulatory frameworks for emerging contaminants, classical bioremediation technologies, natural attenuation and sustainability tools, and robotic technologies used in the environmental field.
