TrapOx - Contaminant Degradation System
FromIntrapore
TrapOx is an innovative system designed for in-situ treatment of groundwater contaminants using a two-step zeolite-based process. It targets a variety of organic pollutants including MTBE, phenols, PAHs, and halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane and chlorobenzenes. Nitroaromatic compounds and TPHs are also addressed. The process begins with the injection of an iron-zeolite matrix, creating a reactive zone that traps pollutants. Subsequently, hydrogen peroxide is added and activated to produce hydroxyl radicals through a catalyst, enhancing pollutant degradation. The core reaction mechanism is based on the Fenton reaction, optimizing the production of reactive species for effective contaminant breakdown. TrapOx demonstrates its effectiveness not just in field applications but also in lab settings, showing significant decreases in pollutant concentration over time. It offers a sustainable solution for reducing hazardous contaminants in environments like petrol station sites, ensuring levels are kept below regulatory thresholds.Most popular related searches

Target contaminations
The injection of zeolite microparticles suspension into the aquifer can trap various organic substances. Our main targets are MTBE, phenols, PAHs, and halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane and chlorobenzenes. Nitroaromatic compounds like TNT can also be treated, as well as TPHs.
Why TRAPOX®
With TrapOx®, sorption processes strongly enhance the degradation of persistent pollutants. We create highly reactive zones in the aquifer, where the pollutants are first accumulated and then successively treated.
Main application
- Fast removal of contaminant plumes and -source zones.
- also for persistent contaminants
- Highly adsorptive and reactive
- Advanced ISCO
- Regeneration of the reactive zone possible
