THE CHALLENGE: In-situ cleaning of railway ballast and decontamination of subsoil and groundwater from Glyphosate and toxic organic leftovers. Fast, efficient and cost-effective vegetation control with non-Glyphosate weed killer as a complementary solution. THE TECHNOLOGY: RBO – Railway Ballast Oxidation technology, is an in-situ physico-chemical technology based on the generation of superoxide radicals with surfactants and phase transfer catalysts that can simultaneously decompose organic leftovers on ballast surface, subsoil and groundwater.
