Company USA

 

The company has developed a line of green, surfactant (surface active agent) based solvents. By combining these with traditional oxidant chemistries they are able to remove contaminants from soils and groundwater through a controlled dissolution and desorption process, eliminating the need for excavation.

 
 
The company's solutions are derived from safe, green chemicals that break down pollutants into oxygen, carbon dioxide and other harmless byproducts. Additionally they have developed a type of nanotechnology that delivers our solutions through the soil to depths of 100 feet, far below where most polluted sites require clean up.


 
The company's  environmental technology makes it possible to clean up contaminated sites quickly and cost-effectively, meeting the goals of owners, regulators, and the community. Solving these problems advances the global challenge to provide a sustainable environment for future generations.



The company's Technologies reduce the concentrations of organic contaminants such as trichloroethylene, naphthalene, benzene and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil, groundwater and NAPL (non-aqueous phase liquids).  By combining surfactant and oxidant chemistries, the company has invented a controlled dissolution and desorption process (by dilute surfactant mixtures) with concomitant biological or chemical destruction processes. 

 

This eliminates the need for costly removal of vast quantities of contaminated soil, and enables the company to design treatments in place with designer surfactant/oxidant combinations that are environmental safe, safe to the community and non-intrusive to the nearby community.
