Soil and Groundwater Cleanup
A range of VeruTEK’s technologies are available for soil & groundwater cleanup – using breakthrough, green chemistry to achieve safe, lower cost and permanent remediation.
Applications are suitable beneath buildings and other structures to achieve site clean-up through contaminant destruction at reduced cost and in a short amount of time - weeks or months not years - compared to traditional alternative methods.
The biodegradeable chemistry can be injected in close proximity to homes and buildings safely without disruption to occupants, to destroy organic contaminants including:
-
Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL)
-
Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL)
-
Manufactured Gas Plants (MGP) Wastes
-
Creosote
- Hydrocarbons
- Chlorinated Solvents
The VeruTEK approach safely and permanently delivers a clean site - without use of excavation to relocate toxins to another location.
Key technologies for soil & groundwater cleanup:
| VeruSOL™ | An innovative clear formulation made with citrus extracts and plant-derived surfactants; advancing a new microemulsion technology to achieve excellent efficiency in a wide range of applications. VeruSOL™ can be combined with oxidants including hydrogen peroxide or sodium persulfate in VeruTEK's proprietary S-ISCO™ (Surfactant-Enhanced In Situ Chemical Oxidation) process |
| S-ISCO™ | The surfactant enhanced In-situ chemical oxidation (S-ISCO™) process uses VeruSOL™ to solubilize immiscible organic compounds making them more available for destruction in-place using injected oxidant systems. VeruSOL™ with peroxide is 10 times more effective than any ISCO application on it’s own. |
| S-ESCO™ | The surfactant enhanced Ex-situ chemical oxidation (S-ESCO™) process uses VeruSOL™ and oxidant combination to treat contaminated soil ex-Situ. Stock pilled soil is sprayed with VeruSOLVE solution and tilled through mechanical means (pug mill etc). |
| VeruSOLVE-HP™ | A stabilized surfactant/oxidant combination effective for surgical destruction of DNAPLs and source term wastes like Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) waste, creosote, hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents. Clients apply VeruSOLVE-HP™ in-situ via injection, or ex-situ as a direct spray application.
Why is VeruSOLVE-HP™ better than traditional methods?

Applications for VeruTEK products span a wide variety of industries:
Wastewater Treatment
Introducing GreenCat – a synthesized nano-catalyst for wastewater and sludge remediation.
GreenCat is a new, innovative green approach which provides an ecofriendly non toxic catalyst that rapidly destroys problematic organic and inorganic chemical toxins. Advanced Oxidation Technology (AOT) generates free radical capable of treating a wide range of contaminant compounds.
Typical applications include:
- Industrial Wastewater and Sludge: Organic Contaminants, Ammonia, VOCs
- Oil & Gas Production: Green cleanup of Produced Water
- Municipal: Sulfides, Ammonia, Organics, Oil/Grease
- Biological: Pre-Treat Toxics
Service
All of VeruTEK products can be provided with a variety of service options, including a review of site data, support for application rates, bench scale treatability trials, pilot trial design, other technical support or full scale project implementation. The level of service is determined by the nature of projects and client requirements.
