PeroxyChem - Model ELS - Microemulsion System - Brochure

ELS™ Microemulsion is a lecithin-based substrate of food-grade carbon used to enhance anaerobic bioremediation. ELS creates reducing conditions and serves as an electron donor for dechlorinating bacteria, promoting enhanced reductive dechlorination reactions. ELS is delivered as a 25% liquid emulsion that is cold water soluble and can be applied via existing wells, hydraulic injection networks, or direct push technology. Lecithin is composed primarily of phospholipids, which have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions in their molecular structure. As a result, ELS can be expected to form a more stable emulsion compared to oils that are strictly hydrophobic compounds, making it easy to apply and handle.
