When methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) moves farther and faster than the rest of the fuel signature, you need in situ remediation that controls the plume and drives closure. BOS 200+® delivers long-term MTBE remediation by pairing precise source control with sustained, in‑place biodegradation, giving you an MTBE contamination solution that align with remediation regulations and drives compliance.
BOS 200+® is purpose‑built for oxygenate plumes. It extends the BOS 200® platform with a pre‑conditioned activated carbon base plus complex carbohydrates, amino acids, nutrients, and time‑released terminal electron acceptors to support persistent degradation of MTBE and TBA, including where plumes “outrun” hydrocarbons. It performs under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is insensitive to typical groundwater geochemistry, supporting reliable MTBE remediation in real‑world settings.
The RPI® Trap & Treat® BOS 200+® system leverages nitrate and sulfate as terminal electron acceptors, together with its pre‑conditioned activated carbon matrix, to keep the microbial community active where it matters — in the treatment zone. That design aligns deployment with how oxygenates actually move and degrade in the field, pairing immediate adsorption with sustained in situ biodegradation.
The two core principles of this MTBE contamination solution are simple.
Field‑proven results of the success of Trap & Treat® BOS 200+® for controlling exposure and treating MTBE contamination include:
