TASK™ EVO Self-Emulsifier is an optimized surfactant blend that makes stable emulsions upon contact with soybean oil. This Self-Emulsifier is designed to spontaneously phase-invert into soybean oil for easy field mixing. By sourcing soybean oil locally, you can dramatically reduce your project costs. Upon contact with water, this product the field prepared soluble oil will spontaneously form a stable oil in water emulsion (EDS-ER™) with a mean droplet size of less than one micron.

There are two types of enhanced anaerobic bioremediation: reductive, which is an established technology mainly used to treat chlorinated compounds, and oxidative, a less common application used to treat petroleum hydrocarbons. The focus of this video is on using Nutrisulfate® for sulfate enhanced bioremediation to oxidize petroleum hydrocarbons. It was once thought that aromatic hydrocarbons do not biodegrade under anaerobic conditions. Several recent studies have concluded that most hydrocarbon plumes are anaerobic and depleted of sulfate. Sulfate reduction and methanogenesis appear to dominate natural degradation processes at most sites. Nutrisulfate® addition enhances natural conditions and reduces the carbon foot print when compared to conventional remediation.

The focus of this video is to introduce the TersOx™ family of products for enhanced aerobic bioremediation. At the core of the technology are TersOx™ Powder and TersOx™ Granular, two specially formulated calcium peroxide products that deliver a controlled release of molecular oxygen. Adding these amendments to contaminated environments stimulates the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons such BTEX, MTBE, PAH, gasoline and diesel-range organics.
