AquaBlok® Composite Particle System

The AquaBlok® composite particle system composite-aggregate technology resembling small stones and comprised of a central core (often stone aggregate), clay or clay sized materials, and polymers. The composition, size and gradation of the particles can be custom designed for many different uses as a vector delivery system. Numerous environmental engineers and scientists are using AquaBlok in innovative applications - particularly for sediment, ponds, lagoons, etc. impacted by chlorinated hydrocarbons, pesticides, PCBs and heavy metals.

Adventus has engineered improvements to the standard AquaBlok product, offering AquaBlok+™ as a remarkably cost-effective solution for horizontal permeable reactive barrier placement (see diagram). Why AquaBlok+ ?

One recent technology innovation is for its ideal use as a Reactive Hole Plug and Sealant, to aid in pollution prevention. See technical summary
