# PLANREAL > PLANREAL GmbH is a specialized environmental engineering and biotechnology company based in Langenfeld (NRW, Germany) with over 20 years of experience in biological in-situ soil remediation, groundwater decontamination, and strategic brownfield land management without excavation. Certified under DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. ## Overview & Core Competencies PLANREAL develops, tests, and deploys specialized biotechnological procedures and proprietary formulation products to decontaminate polluted soil and groundwater aquifers directly in place (*in-situ*). By utilizing microbial degradation mechanisms, sites contaminated with hazardous industrial pollutants can be remediated economically, sustainably, and often without interrupting active industrial operations. ### Key Contaminants Treated - **Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (CHC / CKW / LHKW)**: Perchloroethylene (PCE), Trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-1,2-Dichloroethene (cis-DCE), Vinyl Chloride (VC). - **Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)**: PFOS, PFOA, and related persistent substances. - **Aromatic Hydrocarbons & Solvents**: BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes), MTBE, ETBE, TMB. - **Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH / PAK)**, Phenols, and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH / MKW). - **Heavy Metals & Inorganics**: Immobilization of heavy metals, cyanides, pesticides, and fungicides. ### Engineering & Scientific Methodology - **In-House Environmental Laboratory**: Quantitative PCR (qPCR) for dechlorinating bacteria (e.g. *Dehalococcoides ethenogenes*), RIO microcosm analyses, and AvaTox toxicity screening. - **Field Diagnostics**: High-resolution depth profiling in aquifers, direct-push injection, and groundwater monitoring well construction. - **Quality Standard**: DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certified for environmental remediation techniques. - **Global Track Record**: Over 50 international remediation and feasibility projects across Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. --- ## Services (Environmental Engineering) - [Soil and Groundwater Remediation](https://planreal.com/en/services/soil-and-groundwater-remediation/): Comprehensive in-situ biological decontamination processes for complex pollutant matrices from preliminary investigation to regulatory site closure without excavation. -
