EnviroWorx™'s research team has developed and patented effective "Contaminant Removal Systems".

This system uses proprietary chemistry, known as RAD DECON IV®, for challenging environmental clean-up and decontamination projects. The RAD DECON IV® families of high performance solutions meet the most stringent environmental decontamination standards. All solutions are highly effective and non-destructive for the extraction of PCB's, radionuclides, heavy metals, and hazardous hydrocarbons.

RAD DECON IV® products quickly decontaminate radioactive surfaces within minutes not hours or weeks . Experimental studies have shown that radioactivity levels are dramatically reduced in 3-30 minutes. Subsequent treatments will further reduce contamination if not satisfactorily removed during first application

Costly transportation and disposal costs are reduced as contamination is removed from metal, glass, wood, rubber, concrete, water, solvents, and oil surfaces minimizing waste volume.

Low-level waste may be converted to "free release" waste through treatment using these solutions which are applied at an ambient temperature using a low-pressure spray. The contaminated effluent is squeegeed off and either mopped up with Masslinn® wipes or vacuumed into a container and solidified with a polymer for shipment to a radioactive waste disposal facility. Decontaminated materials may be recycled or certified for release to an industrial landfill, resulting in significant savings to our clients.

RAD DECON IV® is an excellent application for oil, metal, plastic, glass, concrete, wood, soil, rubber and combinations of these materials. It also works effectively on porous surfaces, e.g., oxidization/rust and concrete, to which radioactive particles have become attached or embedded. The following is a small sample of applications for EnviroWorx™ radioactive decontamination products.

Decontamination Applications

SAVE:
Labor - decontaminate up to 4,000 ft² with a 2-man crew from exsisting labor pool.

Equipment - diaphragm pump & spheroidal spray assembly and/or handheld sprayer, squeegees, wet vacuum or dust pan, and collection containers.
Consumables - one gallon per 150 - 600 ft² of material.

"Free release" refers to surfaces and wastes which are suitable for unregulated release, reuse, and/or disposal. Generally, such free release surfaces will exhibit less than about 10 to 50 dpm per 100 cm² depending on the particular radionuclides present
