VeruTEK® Technologies Announces S‐ISCO® Closure of Contaminated
New Jersey Site Using VeruSOLVE™ Peroxide
Bloomfield, CT ‐ November 16, 2009 - VeruTEK®
Technologies Inc. announced today that the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection issued a No Further Action Letter for a
previously contaminated residential site remedied using VeruTEK®'s
VeruSOLVE™ Peroxide. The use of plant surfactant‐based stabilized
peroxide is consistent with VeruTEK®'s mission to provide
cost‐effective, green and faster remedies for the 294,000
contaminated sites in the United States identified thus far by the
USEPA that have not been remedied.
VeruTEK® completed remediation using their innovative,
environmentally safe, and sustainable Surfactant Enhanced In Situ
Chemical Oxidation (S‐ISCO®) technology. Both unsaturated zone and
saturated zone contaminants were remedied beneath a residence where
a heating oil spill occurred. Contaminants at this site were total
petroleum hydrocarbons. After only two days of S‐ISCO treatment,
contamination was reduced from 13,000 ppm to below regulatory
criteria (less than 2,000 ppm).

S‐ISCO®, a VeruTEK® Green Technology Platform, has been shown to
be successful on source contaminants such as chlorinated solvents,
insecticide/herbicide, coal tar, PCB oils, creosote and others.
Source contaminants reside in the soils, slowly dissolving into the
groundwater and represent the most fundamental problem in cleaning
up the environment. Many technologies including ISCO,
bioremediation, and pump and treat technologies treat only
groundwater and not source contamination leading to temporary
reduction of groundwater contamination. In most cases, however,
these off‐theshelf technologies leave sites contaminated for future
generations to live with.
S‐ISCO® is a transforming technology in environmental
remediation. VeruTEK has been developing solutions based on the
S‐ISCO® technology platform using different plant‐based, bio‐based,
and biodegradable surfactants, oxidants, and builders to target
specific contaminants in the environment. S‐ISCO® is the only
remedial technology that can remedy source materials at depth and
under buildings safely in urban and other environments. In
addition, the development of S‐ISCO® Peroxide provides a very
cost‐effective and sustainable alternative to digging, hauling and
landfilling surface contaminants.
