AquaBupH®
Optimizing Short- and Long-term Dechlorination through In Situ pH Adjustment
AquaBupH® enhances EOS® bioremediation technology by adding long-term pH adjustment capabilities to the existing product for applications where adjustment is necessary to optimize results. AquaBupH® is a pre-mixed emulsion combining soybean oil with a suspension of a particulate alkaline pH buffering material. With a pH of approximately 9, AquaBupH® is safe to handle and delivers better buffering capacity than calcium carbonate or baking soda, without the risk of overshooting optimal pH inherent in caustic soda.
Remediation professionals can achieve greater immediate and sustainable results by using a product like AquaBupH® which:
- Provides organic carbon substrate to stimulate bioactivity;
- Provides buffering capacity to adjust pH and promote rapid dechlorination;
- Sustains optimal pH range and extends dechlorination activity; and
- Provides an easy-to-use product.
AquaBupH® is manufactured through a special blending process that encapsulates buffering particles within oil droplets. The result is that buffering particles can be distributed throughout the aquifer with the emulsion without reducing permeability of the aquifer at the injection site. Within a short period of time, the droplets attach to the aquifer solids, providing an ideal environment not only for reductive dechlorination but also for sequestration of the chlorinated solvents.
