Cospon-shaw.GIFThe Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the Department of Defense’s (DoD) environmental technology demonstration and validation program. ESTCP’s goal is to identify, demonstrate, and transfer technologies that address DoD’s highest priority environmental requirements. The Program promotes innovative, cost-effective environmental technologies through demonstrations at DoD facilities and sites. These technologies provide a return on investment through improved efficiency, reduced liability, and direct cost savings. The current cost and impact on DoD operations of environmental compliance is significant. Innovative technologies are reducing both the cost of environmental remediation and compliance and the impact of DoD’s operations on the environment, while enhancing military readiness. ESTCP selects lab-proven technologies with broad DoD application for rigorous field trials. These demonstrations document the cost, performance, and market potential of the technology. ESTCP technology demonstrations address DoD environmental needs in the Environmental Restoration, Munitions Management, Sustainable Infrastructure, and Weapons Systems and Platforms focus areas. www.estcp.org

Cospon_Regenesis.Logo.jpgRegenesis is the global leader in advanced technologies for the proven and low-cost remediation of contaminated groundwater and soil. In 1994, the Company initiated its first directive, to lower the cost of petroleum hydrocarbon treatment by significantly reducing (and in some cases eliminating) remediation system design, installation, and operation/maintenance. During this period, Regenesis pioneered the use of controlled release oxygen for enhanced, in situ, aerobic bioremediation with the introduction of Oxygen Release Compound (ORC®). The organization has continued to revolutionize remediation diverse range of cost-effective technologies such as Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®), Metals Remediation Compound (MRC®), RegenOx™ chemical oxidation and Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® PLUS for chlorinated compound bioaugmentation. Regenesis has added significantly to its chlorinated compound treatment capabilities with the introduction of an entirely new electron donor material called 3D Microemulsion (3DMe)™, offering class-leading performance at an extremely low price. Regenesis also helped define the nascent field of applied environmental biotechnology and has worked to establish accompanying molecular diagnostics (BioDechlor CensusSM). Regenesis products have been applied successfully at more than 15,000 project sites worldwide.

RNAS_neg.jpgRNAS was founded in 1998 as a bioremediation consulting company. Our experience led us to practical solutions for successful enhanced bioremediation. To avoid potential conflicts of interest with our consultant clients, RNAS now focuses exclusively on providing high quality bioremediation products.  RNAS was the first company to manufacture emulsified vegetable oil for bioremediation. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing methods (US Patent 6,806,078) produce kinetically stable emulsions with the smallest submicron oil droplets in the industry. Since the first injection in March 2002, millions of pounds of Newman Zone® have been successfully applied at hundreds of sites. For aerobic remediation, RNAS provides the low-cost, low-maintenance oxygenation system O2Zone® (US Patent 6,561,497). Neutral Zone®, an insoluble colloidal buffer, also is now available to address low pH at bioremediation sites or sites where pH is the primary contaminant. Please contact us (763-585-6191) or visit our website (www.RNASinc.com) for technical support or further information.

 

serdpThe Strategic Environmental Research & Development Program (SERDP) is the Department of Defense’s (DoD) environmental science and technology program, planned and executed in partnership with the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, with participation by numerous other federal and non-federal organizations. To address the highest priority issues confronting the Services, SERDP focuses on cross-service requirements and pursues high-risk/high-payoff solutions to the Department’s most intractable environmental problems. The development and application of innovative environmental technologies support the long-term sustainability of DoD’s training and testing ranges as well as significantly reduce current and future environmental liabilities. SERDP’s charter permits investment across the broad spectrum of research and development, from basic research through applied research to exploratory development. In more general terms, SERDP invests in environmental technologies from basic research through bench-scale proof of principle. The Program is composed of four focus areas: Environmental Restoration, Munitions Management, Sustainable Infrastructure, and Weapons Systems and Platforms. www.serdp.org

Wavefront specializes in designing and developing leading-edge techniques for oil well stimulation, improved oil recovery, and environmental groundwater remediation. Wavefront’s Primawave is a highly effective method for enhancing in-situ remediation by increasing fluid injection delivery rates and minimizing remedial fluid surfacing. Primawave propagates a pressure pulse during injection; which allows the fluid to contact portions of the aquifer not attainable with conventional injection approaches. Environmental contractors can use Primawave tools with minimal training and effort. The safe, straightforward and low-maintenance design of Primawave tools allow for on-the-fly adjustments to match site-specific characteristics.  www.onthewavefront.com
