C-Sparger - Genesis of Ozone Sparging

The ozone sparging process (C-Sparge™) employs nano- to micro-sized bubbles of air encapsulated ozone created by injecting an air-ozone mixture through invisible pores in KTI’s Spargepoints. Pressure-pulsing the microbubbles of air/ozone through soil and groundwater yields rapid clean-up of a host of contaminants by means of in-situ chemical reactions that leave only water and beneficial oxygen as byproducts: O3 + 2H+ + e- ? O2 + 2H2O

Pulsing the air/ozone mixture enhances the process scrubbing capacity, gently pushes the bubbles through soil capillary pores, and by providing appropriately-sized bubbles, eliminates channeling.

In-situ ozone sparging treats a wide variety of contaminants: Saturated hydrocarbons such as petroleum hydrocarbons (alkanes); MTBE; 1,4 dioxane; chlorinated ethanes (1,1,1 TCA, DCA); and unsaturated hydrocarbons such as chlorinated ethenes (PCE, TCE, DCE, VC); BTEX; methylbenzenes; chlorinated phenols (PCP, DCP, etc.); energetic (RDX, HMX); polycyclic aromatic hydrocargons (PAH); PCBs; pesticides such as Heptachlor, Aldrin, Dieldrin.

• Wide variety of treatable contaminants
• Low Capital equipment/operating costs
• Requires standard 120 VAC household current
• Minimal installation site disturbance; low site profile
• In-situ rapid destruction of targeted compounds
• Clean reaction; no hazardous byproducts
• No vapor control necessary
• Pulsed microbubble oxidant injection ensures maximum contaminant contact
