Dual Technology
ISCR with EZVI Enhancement
An environmental consulting firm contracted IET for a dual-technology program combining traditional in-situ chemical reduction (ISCR) materials (ZVI, vitamins, nutrients, kelp) with nano-scale EZVI enhancement using patented technology. This innovative project demonstrated IET's expertise in deploying advanced nanotechnology alongside conventional in-situ chemical reduction methods. The integration of patented EZVI with traditional zero-valent iron amendments created a powerful synergistic treatment system for challenging chlorinated solvent contamination.
