We
can provide procedures, supervision and products for the use
of accelerated, enzyme-enhanced biodegradation technologies to
treat various refinery sludges, as well as a wide range of hydrocarbon
and pesticide- contaminated soils and water. This often can offer
major reductions in treatment, time, and cost (versus other methods). |
Our zeolite
material, a synthetic absorbent that is selective
for Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene (BTEX compounds)
will hold benzene equivalent to 14% of its weight, and can
be used in flow-through systems similar to those used for
activated carbon. Thermal regeneration is possible for up
to four cycles, and (unlike activated carbon) the regenerated
material has the same capacity as virgin material. This material
makes possible the treatment of large volumes of liquid to
low BTEX concentrations without removing less regulated hydrocarbons
to the same low concentrations.
This same synthetic absorbent is also effective (and selective) in removing
BTEX compounds from air (or other gases) in the same type of apparatus
in which activated carbon is used for this function.
Other synthetic zeolites are available for removal of benzene from hydrocarbon
mixtures, for removal of PCB from hydrocarbon mixtures and for removal
of various elements (such as: selenium, cadmium, chromium, mercury, lead,
nickel and zinc) from water. |
