Geosyntec Contributes to 2025 Battelle Bioremediation Symposium

Geosyntec and SiREM practitioners will make significant technical contributions at the 2025 Battelle International Symposium on Bioremediation and Environmental Biotechnology from June 23 through 26, 2025, in Boston, Massachusetts.

Our staff will co-chair a session, conduct twelve platform presentations, and co-present ten poster sessions. Join Geosyntec at booth 208 and SiREM at booth 211. SiREM is a sponsor of the event.

The Bioremediation Symposium is a forum for the scientific community to share innovative tools and technologies, research results, practical experiences, and advances in bioremediation. The program reflects the growing body of knowledge about better ways to manage contamination using state-of-the-science data collection, analysis, and visualization, along with novel approaches in remedy design and implementation.

The conference is organized and presented by Battelle and co-hosted by the bioremediation company, Allonnia.
