http://www.adventusgroup.com/blog Wed, 29 Oct 2008 19:20:04 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en One of the main benefits associated with In-Situ Chemical Reduction science is its unique ability to provide safe, rapid and complete remediation (i.e., without dead-end accumulation of potentially problematic catabolites). Responsible environmental consultants and engineers are learning (sometimes the "hard way") that there are important differences between ISCR and conventional ... http://www.adventusgroup.com/blog/2008/10/epa-site-demonstration-dce-stall-using-hrc%c2%ae/ Biodegradation via reductive dechlorination processes occurs when microbes directly remove chlorine atoms from a chemical in order to derive energy from other organic compounds. This occurs under reducing, anaerobic conditions. A more effective remedial strategy, however, entails in situ chemical reduction (ISCR) using EHC as the reductant. This report [PDF] succinctly describes how a ... http://www.adventusgroup.com/blog/2008/09/hydrogen-equivalents-comparison-of-simple-electron-donors/ A recent issue of "Soil & Sediment Contamination Journal" had an insightful article about this topic. Read more about what international scientists from the School of Civil Engineering & Geosciences at Newscastle University, U.K. and the Laboratory of Microbiology at Wageningen University, Netherlands discovered. The full ... http://www.adventusgroup.com/blog/2008/08/what-is-the-significance-of-low-eh-reactions/ What is In Situ Chemical Reduction (ISCR)? As one of the core competitive differentiators for Adventus, this ISCR blog is being launched for the worldwide environmental remediation technology industry. It seeks to provide industry practitioners with useful updates and links to a growing library of evidence from worldwide academic, industry, and regulatory bodies. ... http://www.adventusgroup.com/blog/2008/08/welcome-to-the-adventus-group-in-situ-chemical-reduction-iscr-blog/
