The ISCO technology is an in-situ process utilizing the injection of proprietary liquid chemical formulations through monitoring wells into the contaminated portion of an aquifer. Prior applications of the process have demonstrated immediate reduction in the concentrations of the following constituents:

BTEX, MTBE & TPH

Gasoline & Diesel Fuel

Chlorinated Solvents (PCE, TCE, TCA, etc.)

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

Organic Pesticides

Nitro-aromatic Compound

Alcohols (phenols)

Mineral Oil Products

Phase 1 – Bench Test to determine the optimal concentration of the reagents and applicability of the process.

Phase 2 – Pilot Scale field application within a source area of contamination to reduce the contaminant concentration.

Phase 3 – Full-scale remediation of the groundwater plume to reduce organic contamination.

The ISCO process, patented in the United States, has been developed over the last 11 years for the remediation of organic contaminants in groundwater, saturated soil and contamination within the capillary fringe. The technology involves the creation and migration of hydroxyl radicals using Fenton’s reaction. The hydroxyl radicals that are produced degrade organic contamination to carbon dioxide and water. The technology may be used for:

Source Control/Removal

Augment Existing Technologies

Set-up Natural Attenuation

SVE/Sparging Systems

Hot Spot Treatment

Groundwater Pump and Treat

Accelerated Groundwater Treatment

The ISCO process has the following advantages over other contaminant remediation technologies:

Contaminant reduction in weeks to months

Able to expedite real estate transfers

Mobile in-situ treatment system that has limited disruption to on-site operations

Involves the application of environmentally friendly chemicals

ISCO reagents applied to 50 mm diameter monitoring wells

Applied under buildings and within operational areas

Eliminates the need for large scale Dig and Dump style treatment methods

Eliminates long-term operation and maintenance costs
