Biopract provides technological products and processes for industry, agriculture, and environment. They not only produce technical enzyme preparations but also develop enzymes for applications in agriculture, food, and textile industry as well as in environmental technologies. On the later, bioremediation has been an area of service delivery from Biopract. Their activities regards microbial preparations for the bioremediation of organic contaminants (mineral oil (MKW), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOC), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)).

The company has applied ex situ landfarming technology to several sites. The process is designed to contaminated site containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalate esters, petroleum hydrocarbons, and pentachlorophenol (PCP). The company has also used in situ techniques such as air sparging bioremediation. 

The PetroClean bioremediation system treats biodegradable contaminants (i.e., gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, solvents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and other organic compounds in soils and groundwater.
