The Easiest Deep Plume and Routine Deployment of Integrated Carbon, ZVI and Nutrients. Affordable, effective socks for stimulating anaerobic biodegradation in groundwater wells.Boston, MA — Adventus Group, a global environmental biotechnology enterprise, has announced the introduction of A-SOX™ for groundwater well treatment of organic constituents amendable to anaerobic biodegradation processes. Designed by field engineers as a time and money saving innovation, this delivery system is most conducive to physically challenging situations where a readily biodegradable carbon source and reduced iron are needed to induce in-situ chemical reductions (ISCR) of targeted compounds such as chlorinated solvents, energetics, and pesticides.

Application is for stimulation of anaerobic biodegradation of groundwater contaminants using EHC(r), which is deployed in the wells with the A-SOX(tm) delivery system. EHC is a proprietary, field-proven compound containing a long-term source of controlled-release carbon, ZVI and nutrients.

Benefits of EHC(r):

  • ISCR science promoting biotic, abiotic, thermodynamic and chemical degradation mechanisms.
  • Readily biodegradable Hydrogen donor.
  • Unique mode of action does not require use of specialty microorganisms.
Benefits of the A-SOX(tm) Delivery System:
  • All field proven benefits of EHC.
  • Substantial time savings on the job.
  • Reusable stainless steel canisters easy to insert and retrieve.
  • Ease of determining exact depth at which the product is deployed.
  • Socks and canisters available for 2" and 4" wells.
  • Up to three canisters may be suspended in-line to lengthen the active zone.
  • Even distribution of active material over the length of the canister(s) because the socks do not collapse or bunch up.
