Exorcise LNAPL with BOS 200+

Don’t let LNAPL (Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid) spook you. With RPI’s BOS200+, you can effectively exorcise this pesky goo from the subsurface.

BOS 200+ combines hydrocarbon adsorption and biodegradation, immediately reducing risk while “eating away” at LNAPL—it’s like black magic! Activated carbon lures hydrocarbons from the aqueous phase into its microporous clutches, significantly lowering dissolved hydrocarbon concentrations and minimizing their toxic grip on the environment.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Activated carbon establishes a dynamic balance between bound contaminants and those still lurking in the aqueous phase, allowing RPI’s proprietary microbial blend to regenerate the carbon itself! This means you don’t need to install enough activated carbon to adsorb every drop of LNAPL. Think of biodegradation teamed with activated carbon as a contamination-slurping zombie—always hungry for more!

With BOS 200+, the degrading microbes aren’t alone nor scared; they’re supported with electron acceptors, nutrients, and vitamins to stay strong against the contamination ghouls and goblins. From day one, BOS 200+ initiates consistent degradation of LNAPL, diminishing risk pathways as it biodegrades hydrocarbons and regenerates activated carbon until the contamination is vanquished.

This Halloween, don’t be spooked by LNAPL. Trick the contaminants and treat yourself to peace of mind! 🎃👻

Featured Case Study:

Car Care Service LNAPL, What UVOST Saw, and What BOS 200® Accomplished – Culminating in NFA

Car Care was an LNAPL site marked by free product saturated soils, inches to feet LNAPL in monitoring wells, and aquifer samples with BTEX within 10% of saturation. Yet, there was no discrete source for the LNAPL. The help of Dakota Technologies Company, LLC was enlisted to search for the source(s) as a beginning to remedial design characterization. As part of his work, Randy St Germain made some fascinating observations. Learn More

New Publication

Advances in the Characterisation and Remediation of Sites Contaminated with Petroleum Hydrocarbons

The book gathers the most important advances in the management of sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. It focuses on the current state of practice in LNAPL characterization and remediation. Its goal is to provide information and a framework to support improved remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs).
