A Winning Combination: Experience and innovation.
They’re known for their groundbreaking in situ remediation solutions and thriving remediation work. In 1990, however, Bob Elliott and Scott Noland were an unlikely duo: a businessman without a science background and a chemical engineer without business experience. Through the years, the pair has managed to tackle the growing field of environmental remediation, identifying its limitations (expensive and ineffective long-term treatment) and developing a better solution through their revolutionary Trap and Treat® remediation products.
Bob and Scott gained years of experience in environmental laboratories and environmentally-oriented contracting groups, taking part in hundreds of injection-based remediation projects and gaining first-hand knowledge of the field’s many challenges. Frustrated by the unsustainable, dangerous, and ineffective route the industry had taken, the pair’s fiercely entrepreneurial spirit took over. The result? A remarkable breakthrough. In 2002, Scott Noland discovered a way to impregnate activated carbon with materials proven to assist in environmental remediation. After a series of remarkable laboratory tests, both men became convinced that their products both trapped contamination and treated it better than any other product they had experienced. Trap and Treat® and BOS 100® and 200® were born.
The evolution of Remediation Products, Inc. was swift: the company was formally founded in 2002 and by 2004, the company had registered trademarks and a U.S. Patent. Production capacity was quickly established with a major manufacturer of activated carbon products, and RPI formed lasting bonds with its Master and Authorized Installers. RPI has facilitated a remarkable number of NFAs, helping their customers completely clear up their soil and groundwater pollution, comply with regulations, and sell their property without liability, stress, or danger.
Bob Elliott: Chief Executive Officer
A graduate of the University of Nebraska at Kearney, Bob Elliott holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and has over 34 years of business development expertise. For the past two decades, Bob has focused on innovative environmental technologies, gaining standing in the environmental community and participating in thousands of remediation projects. A pioneer in Direct Push Technology (DPT) drilling, Bob has seen many ideas born on his watch become standard practice in on-site investigations. In addition to his work with Remediation Products, Inc., Bob has held market development positions with companies such as Capital Cities Communications and URS Corporation, one of the world’s largest environmental engineering firms.
Scott Noland: President
A graduate from the Colorado School of Mines with a chemical engineering degree, Scott is a fierce entrepreneur whose career has focused on savings, efficacy, and innovation. His drive to find a better way led to the development of Remediation Products, Inc.’s revolutionary Trap and Treat® remediation approach. This expertise has not gone unnoticed: in 2001, he was selected by the prestigious Battelle Bioremediation Symposium to share his specialized knowledge and techniques with the scientific community. RPI isn’t Scott’s first brush with innovative thinking: over the past three decades, Scott has provided scientific solutions and research for companies such as DOW Chemical, Eastman Kodak, Englehardt Metals, Abbott Laboratories, Gates Rubber, and Hamilton Beach.
