Bioremediation mostly involves the use of microorganisms and plants to revome pollutants from water and soil. Some microorganisms like archea, bacteria, fingi etc are capable of metobilsm pollutants and in the process degrading them into less harmful byproducts thereby reducing their levels in the environment. Others through some metabolic pathways can alter the form of certain pollutants into less harmful ones. eg some bacteria are capable of altering the oxidation state of certain metal ions to less toxic forms. Also some plant species have specialized tissues that enable them absorb certain pollutants like heavy metals etc and thus reduce the levels of such pollutants in the environment. After absorbing the pollutants, the plant material could be harvested and incinerated.

How can you get some bioremediation?
That is a very complicated questions because bioremediation has so many different meaning. For example, BioWorld Hydrocarbon Treatment is a form of bioremediation. They add microbes to an oil spill along with an enhancer to speed up the cleaning process. Some companies just add microbes and call that bioremediation, some just add a fertilizer (which can cause algae to bloom, which isn't good). So I would look up BioWorld's Hydrocarbon treatment! Look up their website.
