  Solutions for the emergency spill clean-up

  BioSolve Pinkwater eliminates fire and explosion hazard when sprayed directly onto a fuel/oil spill. Aggressive agitation with a course stream reduces volatilization and causes LEL readings to immediately decline, possibly registering “0.” Application of Pinkwater also facilitates roadway cleanup and elimination of hazardous oil sheen.

  Solutions for the vapor suppression

  BioSolve Pinkwater is used at major remediation and construction work-sites where excavation of contaminated soils may release noxious organic odors or hazardous VOCs. The dilute solution is sprayed directly onto newly exposed soil surfaces or stockpiles of contaminated material where volatilization is taking place. Used as an alternative to foam, Pinkwater creates a barrier that keeps vapors in the soil, allowing work to continue safely without disruption to workers or neighbors.

  Solutions for the in-situ soil remediation

  For over twenty years, BioSolve Pinkwater has been used for Surfactant Enhanced Remediation (SER) to mobilize and solubilize residual NAPL[i], facilitating its recovery and disposal. Depending on soil and plume characteristics, Pinkwater solution can reach contaminated zones through deep injection wells or be gravity fed from surface level injection galleries. After desorbing residual NAPL from soil surfaces on contact, Pinkwater then solubilizes the hydrocarbons in an aqueous emulsion, enabling extraction at...

  Solutions for the small tank cleaning and degassing

  BioSolve Pinkwater is a proven tool used in the process of removing and repairing fuel storage tanks of all sizes.  Pinkwater is best known for its unmatched performance suppressing volatile organic vapors that are present when working with fuel tanks (both AST and UST). The product can also be used to assist in loosening and removing tank bottom sludge.  Major US and foreign oil companies as well as small tank removal teams find working with Pinkwater to be safe, simple, effective and worker...

  Solutions for the large tank cleaning and degassing

  Rapid turnaround is essential when an oil or fuel storage tank is stripped for repair or scheduled maintenance.  This time-sensitive process can be frustrated by the presence of high vapor levels and unpumpable sludge.  Over the past 30 years, BioSolve Pinkwater has proven to be a worker friendly solution to these challenges.

  Solutions for the aerobic bioremediation

  BioSolve Pinkwater is used to accelerate natural bioremediation of contaminated soil either on site through surface application or on land farms through application to biopiles. When Pinkwater solution is sprayed onto and aggressively mixed into contaminated soil, hydrocarbons come in contact with the strongly “lipophilic” (oil loving) surfactant. Mimicking the process by which bacteria make hydrocarbons digestible, the surfactants “solubilize” contaminates, pulling them into an aqueous...
