An international environmental technology company, VeruTEK Technologies Inc. (VTKT.OB), has successfully completed an in place remediation of contaminated soils and groundwater at a legacy site of a Fortune 500 client by using its proprietary Surfactant Enhanced In Situ Chemical Oxidation (S-ISCO™) process.

S-ISCO is a remediation process developed by VeruTEK® which target and remedy various types of chlorinated solvents such as Dense Non Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs) etc. at the site of contaminants.

VeruTEK®'s technologies such as S-ISCOTM, Surfactant Enhanced Product Recovery (SEPRTM), Green Synthesis of Nanometals and Nano Biopolymers and Coeluent Metal Extraction and Recovery are effective and "in place" technologies that use the chemistry of the soil with safe plant extracts and surfactants to remedy toxic pollution.

John Collins, Ph.D., President and CEO of VeruTEK® said that "VeruTEK® is a new type of environmental green technology company in a generally very low-tech market which is more effective in protecting human health and the environment over the existing simplistic and ineffective technologies by protecting communities, reducing liability and the costs of remediation."

VeruTEK® uses nanomaterials in environmental remediation and is one of the few commercial research and development companies in the world focused on remedying toxic compounds in the environment and contaminants "in place", providing a far better and more cost effective solution.

This process enable controlled dissolution and desorption of organic phase chemical contaminants by using plant based, FDA approved plant extracts by simultaneous destruction of these toxic chemicals using designer surfactant/oxidant combinations that are environmentally safe and non intrusive to nearby communities.

This environmentally friendly, green and safe remedial approach allows a complete or near complete remediation of subsurface soils and groundwater contamination at industrial, utility, commercial and government owned sites.
