TSIC™ Culture-- TS Innoculum for Chlorinated Compounds  is a natural enriched bacteria culture that contains species of  Dehalcoccoides  for bioaugmentation.  This non-methanogenic culture dechlorinates PCE to the non-toxic product ethene.  It can be used at sites where bacteria capable of complete reductive dechlorination are not present or there is a need to decrease the remediation time frame.  Although antidotal, it has been estimated that the causative microorganism Dehalococcoides is not present in 10 to 40 percent of chlorinated solvent contaminated sites. 

                                               Key Benefits of TSIC TSIC^TM  Culture

Reduces treatment time requirement for complete dechlorination -

Proven effectiveness -

QRS™ -- Quick Release Substrate is an engineered product for the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated solvents or any anaerobically degradable substance.  This substrate package contains a fast release electron donor in addition to a nutrient package.  It is intended for projects that are on a fast track.  One injection will typically enhance biological activity for 2 months.

Key Benefits of QRS^TM

Degrades PCE and TCE to non-toxic end products - QRS™ provides an environmentally acceptable environment for the bacteria to rapidly and completely dechlorinate PCE and TCE to non-toxic end products such as ethene or ethane. 

Low cost - The passive nature of the QRS^TM Technology eliminates the large capital and operations/maintenance costs associated with active engineered systems such as pump and treat, air sparging with vapor extraction and continuous recirculation systems.  Savings can be as high as 80% when compared to a pump and treat system on a net present cost basis.

Non-toxic food grade materials - QRS^TM is made with food grade materials that have Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status.  It can be injected directly into the aquifer through push-points or wells.
