The process consists of injecting a mixture of solid, liquid and gaseous reagents into soil and/or fractured rock which has been contaminated by the hydrocarbons listed above or other petroleum products. Oxidation of the organic pollutants takes less than 24 hours at the site of the contamination, without any pumping or excavation being necessary. Injections can be made under buildings, underground reservoirs, roads or other infrastructures, by means of directional drilling. The speed of treatment allows for the injection of reagents inside commercial buildings with underlying contamination, without interruption of operations or daily activities.

This process is applied when contaminated soils have already been excavated, or when undisturbed contaminated soil is in an area of low permeability that will not allow for the injection of reagents ‘in situ’.  In this case, the reagents are mixed with the excavated contaminated soil in a mobile on-site mixer unit which was developed in cooperation with Les Industries Fournier in 2005.

We plan to market the Organo-metox process in the near future, in collaboration with the National Institute of Scientific Research (NISR) in Quebec. This process allows for the on site treatment of mixed contaminants (heavy metals and organics). This will therefore avoid the transportation and burying of these contaminated soils, which is the current method in use, since there are few other treatment alternatives presently available in Quebec.
