Soil & Water Remediation

Carus Remediation Technologies

Vision Statement
To be an innovative leader in providing sustainable solutions to the remediation market with emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction.

Carus Corporation has been an active participant in the remediation industry since the late 1990s. Our Carus Remediation Technologies (CRT) team is dedicated to the support and growth of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), bioremediation and other emerging technologies.

For over 10 years, in situ chemical oxidation with potassium permanganate and sodium permanganate has been applied at thousands of sites for successfull treatment of organic compounds including: chlorinated ethenes (TCE, PCE, DCE & VC), phenolics, explosives, and many other contaminants of concern. In the last five years, improved delivery methodologies and understanding the background oxidant demand have made the design and results of ISCO projects more predictable. In the next five years, advancements in contaminant desorption, oxidant selectivity, and increased contact will further the success and applicability of ISCO.

The RemOx^® brand of potassium and sodium permanganates is specifically designed and manufactured to meet the strict regulatory requirements for underground injection. A certificate of analysis (C of A) for each manufacturing lot is provided with every order.

As many remediation sites have coupled the use of ISCO for source reduction and bioremediation for polishing and downgradient plume treatment, it made sense for CRT to provide aerobic and anaerobic bioremediation products to our clients. In 2008, CRT entered into the bioremediation market with the acquisition of CAP 18^® and CAP 18 ME^® anaerobic bioremediation products and STIMULOX^®aerobic bioremediation product. CAP 18 and CAP 18 ME are vegetable oil-based anaerobic biostimulation products while STIMULOX is a persulfate and solid peroxide-based aerobic biostimulant. This acquisition of products has allowed Carus to provide our customers with bioremediation products with the same level of quality and customer service we provide for our permanganate products.

In 2010, Carus entered into an agreement with Toxicological & Environmental Associates, Inc. to license EZVI. EZVI is a NASA developed emulsion of micro-particle iron, surfactant, CAP 18 and water utilized to reductively dechlorinate halogenated hydrocarbons. EZVI is a proven technology for source zone treatment.

As the soil and groundwater remediation market continues to change, Carus Corporation will always be striving to provide our customers with the best remediation technologies available.
