Centralised bioremediation facilities are relatively common in the
U.S.A., Canada and some parts of Europe. Whilst there is a preference
throughout most States in Australia for conducting soil remediations
on-site, in some cases this is either technically difficult or hinders
rapid development which would recoup remediation costs. Remediation of
contaminated soil at a remote facility has a number of additional
advantages; it allows increased timescales for achieving minimum residual
pollutant levels, reduces individual site preparation costs and increases
the potential for conducting longer term research projects. This paper
discusses the establishment of a centralised commercial and research
bioremediation facility in South Australia, describes ongoing
bioremediation projects being undertaken and identifies research needs
relevant to ex situ soil bioremediation in the Australasian region.

Keywords: Bioremediation, composting, biopiles, soil contamination.
