Chasing rainbows with emulsified vegetable oil (EVO)? Make the ultimate upgrade to Tersus Environmental, featuring EDS-ER™combined with the power of Gas inFusion, the next evolution in Enhanced Reductive Dechlorination.
There are a number of different hydrogen donors commercially available for enhanced reductive dechlorination projects. In evaluating your options, electron donor source cost can be misleading and it is important that you understand the cost implications of the hydrogen donor(s) selected for your project. Hydrogen is the source of electron donors that drives the process. One measure to evaluate the cost effectiveness is the cost per pound of hydrogen generated.
EDS-ER is 100% fermentable. The treatment of contaminants with EDS-ER is further enhanced with the addition of hydrogen-enriched water. This patent pending process offers one of the most powerful hydrogen-releasing technologies available today at a low cost per pound of hydrogen generated.
The addition of hydrogen-enriched water to EDS-ER provides the additional benefit of reducing electron donor demand over the life of the project. Some estimates indicate a 50% reduction in substrate demand, more than offsetting the cost of the Gas inFusion technology and its application. The dissolved gas enriched water is added to EDS-ER as a dilution fluid, used as chase water, recirculation water, or as precondition waters for bioaugmentation culture.

A release of gasoline occurred in the UST system supplying fuel to boats at the Colter Bay Marina Village at Grand Teton National Park. Groundwater in the immediate area was contaminated with BTEX to levels exceeding 5,000 ppb.
Challenges in the selection of an appropriate groundwater remediation system included the need to be successful in a low permeability, glacial till and secondly to find a low effort O&M technology that can operate over the very long, frigid winters common to Teton Park. Consultants for the project selected the iSOC® (in situ Submerged Oxygen Curtain) technology for the project because of it proven capabilities to meet these two challenges.
Seven iSOC® injection wells operated at the Colter Bay Marina site from September 2004 to May 2006. Five injection wells were located in the source area and two wells are located along the shore of Jackson Lake to provide an oxygen barrier.
During the 1.5 years of remediation:
- The iSOC® system created strongly oxidizing conditions through the entire contamination area;
- BTEX in the UST source area was eliminated;
- The oxygen barrier along the shore of Jackson Lake kept petroleum constituents from reaching the Lake; and
- The remediation system operated year round in spite of the extreme winter weather conditions and limited access to the site for only three months per year.
Overview of Aerobic Cometabolic Bioremediation
In aerobic cometabolic bioremediation indigenous bacteria or bioaugmented strains are stimulated by adding oxygen and a cometabolic growthsubstrate to trigger the production of enzymes that can oxidize or degrade the targetpollutant via cometabolism. An iSOC® system is used to deliver oxygen as a terminalelectron acceptor along with a gaseous growth substrate, typically an alkane gas, in aprocess known as Co-infusion to stimulate complete in situ contaminant destruction. The method is most useful for bioremediation of pollutants that are not themselves good aerobic growth substrates for bacteria. Cometabolic treatment has been found to be particularly effective for the chlorinated solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) and other lower or less oxidized chlorinated aliphatichydrocarbons (DCE, VC, TCA, DCA, CF, and MC). The process has also been found to be effective for treatment of groundwater contaminated with the gasoline additive MTBE and other persistent organic compounds such as pesticides. At some sites with mixed groundwater contaminants (i.e. petroleum hydrocarbons with chlorinated solvents or MTBE), the necessary substrate for inducing aerobic cometabolism of the target pollutant may already be present and all that is needed is the infusion of oxygen. Various aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds have been found to function as cometabolic treatment substrates and significant research and development has focusedon the use of alkane gases (i.e. methane and propane) for the purpose.
