Adventus Newsletter Spring 2009

This quarterly newsletter emphasizes full-scale case studies for treatment of problematic contaminant combinations in groundwater, and ISCR's related ability to provide safe, rapid and complete remediation (i.e., without dead-end accumulation of potentially problematic catabolites). It also explores issues surrounding longevity of treatment using EHC®; the original injectable ISCR reagent for groundwater applications, and a trenchant clarification of the latest disinformation campaign propagated by sales agents of simple polylactates.



Clarification of ZVI and ISCR™ Biogeochemistry

Creators of the original In Situ Chemical Reduction technologies address scientifically unsound and misleading statements

If it doesn't ring true, there's no way you will make a prospective customer believe it. In marketing, hope conquers nothing...

In Situ bioremediation of 1,2-dichloroethane and vinyl chloride contaminated groundwater: case study from Northern Italy

Environmental engineering group selects innovative ISCR™ biotechnology as a demonstrably superior remedial action

The famous Italian natural philosopher and mathematician, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) wrote in his diary that "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." Oftentimes, in the science of environmental remediation it can be difficult to navigate the best path forward in a noisy environment of competing technological claims...

Combined Use of ISCO and ISCR™

Groundwater at an industrial site in Texas impacted with CVOCs, primarily PCE and TCE, from historical waste disposal

Lead Consultant, Burns & McDonnell successfully integrates blended potassium permanganate for source area treatment followed by an EHC® PRB for plume control, resulting in significant overall reduction of chlorinated ethene concentrations throughout the groundwater PCL Exceedance zone...

Longevity of EHC® Treatment

Theoretical considerations and bench-scale study results suggest that a predicted longevity of EHC® treatment materials in the field of 3 - 5 years is reasonable, and may even be an underestimate

In evaluating the longevity of EHC, several consumption mechanisms of the reactive components need to be considered: 1) ZVI oxidation and carbon fermentation due to consumption of terminal electron acceptors (TEAs), such as dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate and sulfate; 2) Anaerobic corrosion of ZVI; 3) Organic contaminant reduction; and 4) Trace metal reduction and precipitation...
