PRODUCTS
Trap & Treat BOS 100®
Complete Remediation for Chlorinated Contamination
Frustrated by the lack of effective, safe remediation products on the market, RPI set out to create a chlorinated contamination product that lives up to its promise. The result: cutting-edge BOS 100®. Where traditional iron treatment of chlorinated solvent contamination in soil and groundwater is slow and risky, Trap & Treat BOS 100® achieves a faster and better result without further contaminating groundwater. No daughter products, no additional risk, no special safety controls or installed equipment required.
BOS 100® “traps” contaminants, then treats them with a safe, effective reductive dechlorination process. The specially formulated particles protect groundwater throughout the cleanup cycle, completely neutralizing chlorinated contamination in less time and at less expense. Effective for a variety of chlorinated solvents, BOS 100® reactant quickly brings properties up to regulatory standards and remains active in the subsurface for an extended period of time, with the added benefits of dramatically reduced liability and smaller costs.
Trap & Treat BOS 200®
Total Turnaround For Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination
RPI’s search for an effective, safe method of dealing with petroleum hydrocarbon pollution led to the development of a truly revolutionary product to trap contaminants and consume them. Cutting-edge BOS 200® doesn’t just promise to eliminate petroleum hydrocarbon contamination: it delivers.
Unlike many hydrocarbon remediation products, BOS 200® was designed to work in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. BOS 200® cuts through the contamination with a specially-formulated blend of activated carbon, sulfate reduction media, micronutrients, and facultative microbes. When the product is used, a proprietary mixture of naturally occurring microbes (Trap & Treat® Bacteria Concentrate) is added to speed up the remediation process. BOS 200® eats through pollution without eating through budget or wasting precious time. Quick property transfers and reduced liability are just a few of the fringe benefits of BOS 200®, which is known for its safety, ease of use, and protection of surrounding property.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Trap & Treat® BOS 100® made? What is its chemistry? During manufacturing of BOS 100®, granular activated carbon is impregnated with an iron salt and heated to a high temperature to create a highly active and extensive metallic iron surface area within the activated carbon granules. BOS 100® works approximately 50 times faster than conventional iron products used for treatment of chlorinated solvents.
How does Trap & Treat® BOS 100® work? BOS 100® (for chemical solvent contamination) traps subsurface contamination, soaking it up like a sponge. Once the contaminant is “trapped,” the product “treats” the contaminant and any by-products, quickly degrading them to harmless levels.
How is Trap & Treat® BOS 200® made? What is its chemistry? BOS 200® is a mixture of approximately 80 percent powdered or granulated activated carbon which is combined with a blend of sulfate reduction material and micronutrients at the factory. When the product is used, a proprietary mixture of naturally occurring microbes (Trap & Treat® Bacteria Concentrate) specially formulated for use with BOS 200® is added to speed up the remediation process.
How does Trap & Treat® BOS 200® work? BOS 200® (for petroleum contamination) traps subsurface contamination, soaking it up like a sponge. Once the contaminant is “trapped,” the remediation ingredients immediately begin to degrade the contamination. This “treatment” occurs through a biological process that works with or without the presence of subsurface oxygen.
