In 2014, Provectus debuted
Provect-OX
®
as the industry's first self-activated, persulfate-based ISCO amendment specifically designed to support sustained bioremediation processes and therefore minimize rebound
(
US patent 9,126,245
).
In 2017, we improved the amendment by adding Terr-OR
™
as a buffer and stabilizer for
reactive ferrate
(patents pending). To date, we have safely and effectively implemented the technology around the globe using a series of preferred (injection) contractors to remediate sites in a single application, without rebound.
When persulfate-based ISCO alternatives are comparatively analyzed

Provect-OX
®
amendments maintain their leadership in terms of:
•
Safety
:
Provect-OX
®
has fewer health and safety concerns as compared to use of traditional activation methods such as heat, chelated metals, hydrogen peroxide or pH extremes using NaOH. Provect-OX
®
will not generate excessive heat/off-gases.
•
Ease of Use
:
Single component product - all in one bag - with integrated buffer, ferrate-stabilizer, and activator results in simplified logistics and application.
- No additional containers or multi-step mixing ratios required during field application
- Fewer handling logistics and equipment compatibility issues
- No secondary containment requirements
•
Increased Effectiveness
:
Promotes multiple oxidation reactions such as ferrate, superoxide and persulfate-based free radicals yielding more extensive
in situ
oxidation of a wider-range of organic contaminants. Also provides a unique microbiological component for multiple accelerated attenuation processes that act to minimize or prevent contaminant rebound after oxidation reactions have terminated.
•
Cost Efficiency
:
Significantly lower costs due to utilization of multiple oxidants with combined secondary treatment processes. Use of ferric oxide conserves oxidant when compared to organo-iron or chelated iron activation.
•
Improved Performance
:
Will not mobilize heavy metals or cause the generation of secondary impact issues such as elevated arsenic or chromium resulting from grossly elevated pH.
•
Longevity
:
Uniquely supports long-term, sustained (>3 years), secondary bioremediation processes to manage residuals and minimize or prevent contaminant rebound. Iron will remain in place and active for many years

•
Patented Technology
:
Fully covered US and pending international patent 9,126,245 (other patents pending) that indemnify you and your client from patent infringement.
Provect-OX
®
has been successfully used in North America, South America, Oceania and EAMA. Various examples of these projects, along with lessons learned, can be found on our
