April/May 2008 IET News

Innovative Environmental Technologies, Inc. continues to prove how we can get the job done despite what obstacles are thrown our way. We were able to complete six jobs using three different technologies, ozone, peroxide/persulfate oxidation and reductive dechlorination (synergistic technology) in two different states in just three weeks!


Northeast Florida Site Throws Curve Ball at IET

IET was contracted by a national consulting firm to remediate a former gas station in St. Augustine, FL. This project proved to be anything but the norm as far as in-situ remediation techniques were concerned. IET attempted to use direct-push technologies to inject the oxidants into the subsurface. This proved not to be the ideal process for this site because of previous remedial activities formally performed by other contractors. Instead IET had to reevaluate the task at hand. Fortunately, IET has gained an enormous amount of experience by remediating well over 100 sites. With this vast amount of experience, IET was successful at performing an unorthodox method. It was decided and approved by the client and the state to dig 5'x5'x10' pits as the only choice to get the oxidant into the subsurface. The site was monitored for ORP and PH readings to assure this implementation was successful. Preliminary field data indicates that the approach was successful.


IET Successfully Completes Project at Five-Star Hotel in Orlando, Florida

Innovative Environmental Technologies, Inc. completed a project utilizing advanced oxidations techniques inside one of Orlando's most prestigious hotels without any interruptions to the hotel's operations. This project used both Fenton's Reagent and activated persulfate technologies to remediate the hotel's dry cleaning facility in-situ.


IET Installs Ozone Generator

IET installed an ozone generator at an Orlando, FL drum re-manufacturing facility. The project consists of pumping water from wells installed throughout the 10 acre site to the ozone generators. The water is then treated with their treatment system and polished with the IET ozone system so as to oxidize 1,4-dioxane. Once treated the water is pumped back into the wells. This process will allow the facility to remain compliant.


IET Travels to Tennessee

In addition to the Florida work, IET completed three chlorinated sites in Tennessee. Working with the state reimbursement program, IET executed the in-situ remediation of active and former dry-cleaners under the state DCRP program. These sites varied in their depths and complexities. Some of the injections occurred within buildings, others to depths of nearly 90' and yet others within the confines of an active church.
