Products and/or Services : Ivey-sol Surfactant Technology is comprised of several patented and preparatory non-ionic surfactant formulations that have the unique ability to selectively desorb and liberate sorbed (i.e., absorbed and adsorbed) petroleum hydrocarbons (LNAPL), chlorinated solvents (DNAPL), and certain heavy metal contaminants from soil and fractured bedrock surfaces. The addition of Ivey-sol to the substrate can aid in the controlled de-sorption of the contaminants making them more Available for treatment. Ivey-sol makes the contaminants more miscible in the aqueous phase allowing for their improved mass recovery and/or improved treatment by many other remediation techniques. Three Ivey-sol application processes were developed for enhancing in-situ and ex-situ site remediation. They are as follows: SER-Surfactant Enhanced Remediation. In-situ and ex-situ application processes to liberate contaminants making them more Hydraulically-Available for mass removal and/or treatment. SER improves in-situ pump and treatment, and/or ex-situ soil washing type applications by 400%. This process could also be used for tank cleaning, vapour suppression, and oil recovery from oil sands. SEB-Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation. In-situ and ex-situ application processes to liberate contaminants making them more Bio-Available for microbial (bacteria) degradation. SEB improves both in-situ and or ex-situ bioremediation treatment by 60%. Applicable for both warm and cold temperature/climate site applications. SEO-Surfactant Enhanced Oxidation. In-situ and ex-situ application processes to liberate contaminants making them more Chemically-Available for chemical oxidation by chemical oxidizing agents. SEO improves the availability of the contaminants to the chemical oxidants commonly employed to affect in-situ and or ex-situ chemical oxidation by 40 to 80% or more. The oxidation of non-target compounds (i.e., metals, natural products, and bacteria) is the greatest drawback to chemical oxidant treatment. Ivey-sol helps overcome this limitation by increasing contact between contaminants and oxidants improving the oxidation rate of target compounds. This process may also be modified for application with chemical reducing agents.
