CERES - Model MTS -Metals Treatment Solution
Metals Treatment Solution – Chemistry for sustained heavy metal sequestration and stabilization. Advanced proprietary and site specific engineered formulation of stabilization chemistries for use in chemical sequestration and immobilization of heavy metals as a stand alone solution or in combination with stabilization and solidification applications. Decades of heavy metals remediation and sequestration experience have culminated into the Metals Treatment Solution (MTS®) product comprising multiple proprietary engineered chemistries that target many heavy metal contaminants.

Sequestration of heavy metal impacted soil and groundwater is a remedial technology that has been employed for many years around the world by highly specialized remediation engineers, chemists and geologist who understand the chemistry well and its application.
Sequestration is a process where chemical reagents like Metals Treatment Solution (i.e. MTS®) are applied or injected into soil or groundwater, industrial waste or substrate to form a stable and insoluble precipitate resulting in reduced leachability of the target heavy metals.
Heavy metal sequestration chemically binds metal ions in the free liquids and immobilizes them within the soil / substrate thereby reducing their solubility through the chemical reaction. The physical characteristics of the sequestrated or “stabilized” contaminated material is not changed by this process with respect to geotechnical properties for redevelopment. It also does not interfere with biological systems or native biota if shallow enough to be in the root zone.
