Volcano Partners, Llc

Volcano Partners is the owner of a mature, innovative environmental technology called Cement Lock. Simply put, Cement Lock is an environmentally friendly remediation technology developed by the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers (with oversight provided by the Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory). It is specifically designed to process and remediate contaminated sediment. This process will permanently remove the damaging environmental and health effects of toxic/hazardous (Superfund / Brownfield) materials from the environment. In fact, the Cement Lock technology is able to achieve a destruction and removal efficiency of 6-9’s. This means that molecules of contaminants are destroyed for every that are processed. This is the EPA’s highest destruction and removal efficiency rating. Further, our process converts the toxic/hazardous contaminants into a non-hazardous, non-leachable beneficial use product known as Ecomelt. Ecomelt is a construction grade material that is used in the production of Portland cement. Of equal importance, the Cement Lock technology is in full compliance with the regulations and mandates required by CERCLA for the remediation of sites such as the Passaic River Superfund site and the San Jacinta Waste Pits Superfund site. Cement Lock will eliminate the use of outdated remedial plans that utilize incineration, landfills, and containment facilities to store toxic/hazardous materials. By relocating or kicking the toxic/hazardous material “can down the road” these outdated remedial plans do not eliminate the perpetual cycle of social and environmental injustices that thousands of community’s face. These stored toxic/hazardous materials in many instances have a “shelf life” of hundreds of years if not treated permanently, thereby posing serious health risks for future generations. These containment facilities or landfills are subject to failure or breeches due to erosion or severe weather conditions.
