Bench-Scale Treatability Study Treatment of FREON and Chlorinated Hydrocarbons Using VeruTEK's S-ISCO™ Coelution Technology™

Groundwater samples were collected from a former industrial manufacturing facility with moderate FREON-113 and chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination. These samples were characterized to determine initial FREON-113 and other volatile compound contamination levels prior to using in three laboratory tests:

  • Test 1: No treatment (control)
  • Test 2: Alkaline persulfate
  • Test 3: Fe-EDTA Catalyzed Persulfate

Each test contained the same amount of groundwater. Each test also contained approximately the same amount of contaminants initially; the table and graph below demonstrate the effectiveness of S-ISCO™ in destroying FREON-113 and chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination after 5 days:

Treatment with S-ISCO™ using Alkaline Activated Persulfate technology led to the destruction of 100% of the
FREON-113 and chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination in just 5 days.
