Dates: October 6-7, 2016 The annual Florida Remediation Conference is the Southeast’s premier soil and groundwater cleanup conference of the year. The conference consists of two days of technical presentations on techniques and technologies. Geo-Cleanse will be presenting! Website: http://enviro-net.com/
U.S. Patent Issued to Geo-Cleanse for Innovative Remedial Solution
Geo-Cleanse International, Inc.’s (Geo-Cleanse) Vice President, Dr. Dan Bryant, recently received U.S. Patent No. 8,556,537 for Manganese-Mediated Redox Processes for Environmental Contaminant Remediation. This is Dr. Bryant’s third remediation technology U.S. patent, the first being granted for In-Situ Chemical Oxidation-Reduction of Precipitation of Heavy Metals in Soil and Groundwater in 2003 and the second beingRead More »
Overcoming the Challenges of DNAPL Remediation in Fractured Bedrock – A Novel Approach
Remediation of a chlorinated solvent DNAPL plume in groundwater presented several challenges due to: 1) the nature of the contaminant in the source area was heavier than water, 2) its occurrence in low permeability saprolite and fractured crystalline bedrock, and 3) an extremely shortened remediation time frame selected by the owner. After completing a RemedialRead More »
3-Point Play Saves Site
Soil and groundwater contaminated by chlorinated solvents (PCE, TCE and DC) posed a potential delay to the construction of the Orlando Events Center, the future home of the Orlando Magic basketball team. Geo-Cleanse was contracted by the City of Orlando to provide turnkey in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) remediation at the site… Read Full Article HereRead More »
Opposites Attract Newsletter
Contaminated site cleanup has commonly been accomplished by deployment of just one remediation technology. This one technology was expected to be effective and applicable over the entire life of the remediation. As our collective experience and knowledge base has expanded, this paradigm has shifted and coupling of multiple technologies in time or space has become theRead More »
The Case For and Against Plumathon Studies
Objective, multiple-site analyses of the performance of different remediation technologies can provide valuable information on the comparative effectiveness of those technologies. These types of studies have been colloquially named “plumathons,” a term used since at least 1999 in reference to a multiple-site study conducted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and used in an EPA Superfund RecordRead More »
What is the Difference?
Within the in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) industry, many different terms are utilized to attempt to differentiate various methodologies that utilize hydrogen peroxide as the primary chemical reagent. Hydrogen peroxide itself is not a strong enough chemical oxidant to rapidly destroy the contaminants we routinely encounter in soil and groundwater remediation. Read Full Newsletter »
Geo-Cleanse Field Pilot Test Featured as Pollution Engineering Cover Article
Geo-Cleanse International, Inc. is featured in the May 2013 issue of Pollution Engineering for our recent pilot test that incorporated in-situ chemical oxidation with potassium permanganate and in-situ chemical reduction with zero valent iron. The pilot test was conducted to determine if the combined approach will offer a site-wide plume remedial strategy for this challengingRead More »
RE3 Conference
Geo-Cleanse is proud to announce that we will be presenting at the RE3 Conference this year in Atlantic City, NJ. “A Novel & Sustainable Combined Oxidant In-Situ Remediation Approach for Brownfield Redevelopment in NJ,” will be presented by Will Moody, and “Outlining the Advantages of Selecting Catalyzed Hydrogen Peroxide or Activated Sodium Persulfate at TwoRead More »
DNAPL Destruction in Belgium
Investigation activities at a former industrial dry cleaning facility located in Flanders, Belgium, which included advancing Membrane Interface Probes (MIPs) and soil cores, revealed chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), including tetrachloroethylene dense non-aqueous phase liquid (PCE DNAPL), below and adjacent to the existing abandoned building.
