EHCS
- 1270 SUMMARY
The
EHCS - 1270 Soil Remediation System utilizes an In-Situ treatment
technology designed to deactivate and neutralize petroleum based
hydrocarbons. The EHCS - 1270 treatment technology works on the
principal of converting a wide range of hydrocarbon compounds into
their basic solid, liquid and vapor phase primary elements of carbon
and water by utilizes a three stage catalytic technology consisting
of EHCS 1270s - Substrate, EHCS 1270c - Catalyst and EHCS 1270ta
- Termination Agent to disassemble the chemical structure of the
target hydrocarbons. These primary elements are rendered inert enabling
the remediated soil to remain in place with no further treatment
required. Post treatment soil retains no harmful hydrocarbon byproducts
as a result of the process and is brought back to a state, which
vigorously supports healthy plant growth.
EHCS
- 1270 emulsifies pre treatment solid components which consist of
asphaltic and paraffin-based materials. The target contaminates
are held in suspension through the use of biodegradable anionic
and non-anionic surfactants, assuring that cleaned soil does not
become re-contaminated as surrounding contaminates are disassembled.
These suspended hydrocarbon contaminates are then treated through
a methane catalytic reaction and alkali stabilization process to
ensure the pH is properly maintained during remediation. Resulting
byproducts of the process include water end elemental carbon with
TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons) and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl
benzene and xylene) reduced down to levels that comply with all
state and federal limits. Existing Heavy metals and non-hydrocarbon-based
compounds remain present but dormant void of the necessary acidifier
required to enhance chemical activity.
EHCS
- 1270 has undergone an extensive series of tests and approvals
to ensure compliance with USEPA guidelines regarding soil remediation
action and waterway discharge restrictions. EHCS ? 1270 meets EPA
Aquatic Toxicity and discharge limits by complying with PH, Sulfate
and Chloride discharge guidelines along with Volatiles (EPA 8260),
TPH and Semi-volatiles (EPA 8270) as well as the Mysid Shrimp test
