The 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.

ISOTEC is a full-service environmental remediation firm specializing in in situ chemical treatment techniques including persulfate, permanganate, and our patented Modified Fenton's Reagent. A wide range of contaminants including BTEX, MTBE, PAHs, chlorinated alkenes (e.g., PCE, TCE, DCE, VC), chlorinated alkanes (e.g., 1,1,1-TCA, carbon tetrachloride), chlorophenols (e.g., pentachlorophenol), and pesticides (e.g., lindane, chlordane) can be treated cost effectively in a short timeframe using the ISOTEC treatment approach. ISOTEC’s persulfate technology uses sodium persulfate catalyzed by heat, hydrogen peroxide, or our patented chelated iron complex to produce sulfate free radicals that attack contaminants. ISOTEC's patented Modified Fenton's Reagent technology uses chelated iron catalysts and stabilized hydrogen peroxide, which are injected into the contaminated subsurface at neutral pH to produce hydroxyl and superoxide free radicals to oxidize and reduce organic contaminants. The reaction by-products include carbon dioxide, water, and chloride ions (if chlorinated contaminants are present). ISOTEC also specializes in combined or sequential application of Fenton’s, persulfate, or permanganate to achieve optimal treatment results. Whether it is soil or groundwater remediation, bedrock, or vadose zone treatment, ISOTEC has an ISCO approach to satisfy your remedial needs. www.insituoxidation.com
