Trap & Treat^® BOS 200^® for Petroleum Hydrocarbon

RPI has designed Trap & Treat^® BOS 200^® to take advantage of the natural anaerobic state of most hydrocarbon sites by promoting oxidation through a system of sulfate reduction. The material is a blend of selected micronutrients and a time-release source of sulfate within an adsorbent matrix designed to trap contaminants. Bacteria specially designed to consume hydrocarbons are added in the field.

After installation, contamination is rapidly trapped within the system and consumed by the bacteria. Often, rates of degradation are more rapid than the rates seen when using current technology. As trapped contaminants are degraded, new contaminants are ensnared, and the cycle is repeated until the microcosm runs out of food. Byproducts include carbon dioxide, water, and a variety of fermentation products.

• Rapidly reduces hydrocarbon contamination;
• Quickly meets regulatory standards;
• Protects groundwater throughout treatment;
• Is safe and easy to use;
• Reduces overall remediation costs;
• Accelerates remediation and site closure;
• Reduces landowner liability; and
• Accelerates property transfer.
