Enretech-1 is applied by blending the dry absorbent carrying the micro-organisms with the contaminated soil as thoroughly as possible. Once the hydrocarbon comes in contact with Enretech-1, it will be absorbed and encapsulated by the fibrous active sites. Enretech-1 is dispersed by tilling and there is no requirement for washing, milling or surfactant addition.
The Enretech-1 technology can be applied in both insitu and ex-situ situations, but is most effective for use in emergency land-based hydrocarbon spills where conventional remediation treatments are not practical due to environmental sensitivities or remoteness.
