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.
