Archelon Bio applies proprietary microbial biotechnology to remediate contaminated soil and water in place, eliminating the need for excavation and disposal. Their naturally occurring microorganisms break down pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, nitrates, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, delivering 50‑80% cost savings compared to traditional methods while restoring ecological function. The company also manages the full remediation process from assessment through regulatory closure for landowners, enterprises, and public agencies.

Problem
Contaminated soil and groundwater often require excavation and off-site disposal, leading to high costs, site disruption, and lengthy regulatory processes.
Solution
Archelon Bio employs a proprietary blend of naturally occurring, extremophile microorganisms to biologically degrade petroleum hydrocarbons, excess nutrients, pesticides, and industrial chemicals directly in the subsurface. The in‑situ bioremediation approach eliminates the need for excavation or transport of contaminated media, reducing remediation expenses by 50–80% compared with conventional methods. Archelon manages the full project lifecycle—from site assessment and microbial formulation design to implementation, monitoring, and regulatory closure—providing landowners, enterprises, and public agencies with a science‑based, cost‑effective pathway to restore soil and water quality.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial site owners, commercial property developers, and government agencies responsible for contaminated land and groundwater remediation.
