Is there any single kinetic model relating bioremediation rate to temperature, pH, Depth & Nutri

[pid3control]

Good day all. Pleases Is there any single kinetic model relating bioremediation rate to temperature, pH, Depth & Nutrient? If not how can I obtain or Model one?

Not that I am aware. My observation is that many of the persons working in remediation make it up as they go along. Trial and error.

Living systems aren't that simple. Sorry.

In addition to the items you indicated, bioremediation will be affected by a lot of other factors including, but not limited to the following: temperature, types of soils, type of bacteria, oxygen concentration, types and concentrations of pollutants.
