Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen, capable of converting organic molecules to water and carbon dioxide. Ozone will rid contaminated soil of a variety of pollutants such as:
- MTBE (Methyl-Tertiary-Butyl-Ether).
- Hydrocarbons.
- Diesel.
- Pesticides.
- VOCs (Volatile Organic Carbons).
- Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene.
- Tricholoroethylene.
- Aromatics.
The benefits of ozone soil remediation are:
- Treatment is done on site.
- Treatment causes minimal physical disturbance to the site.
- Low capital cost.
- Low operating costs.
- Fast reaction rates.
