We are announcing a new patented leading edge technology for Decontamination of Water and Soil; using Humic Substances; for a more effective and cost-efficient solution. The application utilizies Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB) that is installed by injection (not by excavation) to facilitate subsurface interception, retention, and treatment of groundwater contaminants released by industrial and agricultural sources. This new technology has been developed by the University of Florida and Lomonosov Moscow State University. Once installed, this system operates passively, without active pumping, to decontaminate water flowing (aquifer, pollutant plume) from contaminated soil and subsurface pollutant sources without producing any kind of additional contaminates. It replaces the expensive techniques, such as the “pump and treat” method for water treatment and plume capture, which further disturbs the surrounding environment. This innovative method provides for the in-situ installation of humic barrier that can be used as a passive remediation system to treat both organic compounds and metal ions either singly or in combination. In addition, this method can be used to treat viral/bacterial pathogens.
