Sole Providers of E-Clay^® Technology

     ChromeSorb^® is a range of modified clays specifically designed to stabilise chromium VI contamination. These products offers significant advantages over many existing technologies which rely on the potentially reversible redox reduction of chrome VI to chrome III and the precipitation of chromium hydroxide (which can be problematic to groundwater).

     ChromeSorb is a single stage process for the treatment of both chrome VI and chrome III, which can be ideally used / applied within our reactive permeable groundwater barriers, as well as for stabilisation applications.

This range of clays was specifically designed in respect to chromium contamination. An E-Clay was developed which could simultaneously chemically immobilise both the cationic (chrome III) and anionic (chrome VI) forms, which commonly occur at contaminated sites. To be effective the modified clay must be able to absorb and react with both these forms.

ChromeSorb can be applied as an additive in a stabilisation approach to control leachate and / or can be incorporated into a reactive groundwater barrier to treat contaminated groundwater. In both instances the treatment is a one step treatment operation.

Extensive testing and field trials have demonstrated the efficacy of this process
