Adventus Group Receives Remediation Technology
Award
Environmental Business Journal Acknowledges
Innovative Soil Vapor Pathway Solution
 SAN DIEGO, Jan. 15, 2008 -- The Adventus Group, a global
environmental biotechnology enterprise, announced their "2007
Business Achievement Award for Remediation Technology," by
the Environmental Business Journal.
In the Technology Merit: Remediation category, Adventus
biotechnologies for soil, sediment and groundwater remediation
based on in situ chemical reduction (ISCR) were recognized.
The winning case study revolved around a successfully cleaned-up
California site consisting of a 90-acre area formerly used
as an oilfield waste disposal facility. The site is being
redeveloped into 300 residential units and a resource protection
area for endangered plants. VOCs such as 1,2-DCA; cis-1,2-DCE;
and vinyl chloride were historically discharged with the
oilfield waste materials, and were present in soil and groundwater
at concentrations that posed concerns for residential vapor
intrusion and water quality protection. Adventus and its
engineering partner, LFR, Inc., deployed a multiple-approach
treatment process combining excavation, on-site treatment,
and in situ treatment using a low application of Adventus'
patented DARAMEND ISCR technology for soil remediation. This
approach involved the excavation of three source areas, excavation
of the upper saturated zone over the VOC groundwater plume,
and backfilling of the source areas and upper saturated zone
with a reactive mixture of DARAMEND and native sand. Combined
with limited pumping and treatment, placing the DARAMEND-sand
mixture, a "reactive blanket," over exposed areas containing
concentrations of dissolved VOCs will provide long-term mitigation
of vapor pathway concerns, as VOCs migrating into the backfilled
source areas or the reactive blanket will be degraded by
the ISCR processes, thereby ensuring increased marketability
of the prospective residential units.
"Real differentiation in the industry today is about providing
service to support technology," explained Dr. Alan Seech,
CEO of Adventus Group. "Adventus has driven many of the industry's
product and service innovations including ISCR technologies,
which are fast becoming the market standard for a growing
range of toxic contaminants. It is truly gratifying to be
recognized by EBJ for our commitment in delivering exceptional
value to our growing customer base."
This citation is part of Environmental Business Journal's
annual "best practices" awards that recognize companies
for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance.
The EBJ Technology Merit: Remediation Award is presented
each year to companies that have demonstrated excellence
in bringing to market a portfolio of new products and technologies
within their industry. The recipient company has shown innovation
by launching proven products and technologies designed to
solve real-world business problems. More information: http://environmental-industry.com/info.html.
