TRAP & TREAT® CAT 100 IS A FUSION OF RPI’S BOS 100®Bos 100® is a Trap & Treat® in-situ remediation technology offered by Remediation Products Inc. (RPI) and is specifically designed to abiotically... AND BIOTECHNOLOGY TO PRODUCE TECHNOLOGY CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING RESULTS BEYOND THE CAPABILITIES OF EITHER ONE ALONE. Electron transfer, the heart of all contaminant degradation processes, is promoted as the contaminant binds to the metal creating an electrical connection extending throughout the activated carbon matrix. An electron pump created by slow degradation of complex carbohydratesCarbohydrates are an important source of energy for many types of bacteria. Bacteria can use carbohydrates as a source of... and peptides feeds electrons to the conductor, which shuttles them to the site of depletion. In this process, the metallic iron facilitates catalytic degradation of the contaminant without significant depletion of the iron. This overall cycle enables degradation of far more contaminant mass than would be estimated by simple iron demand.
This technology is a response to the call to action from the environmental marketplace to provide significant mass removal and sustained treatment from a single product application. CAT 100CAT 100 is a fusion of RPI’s BOS 100® and biotechnology to produce technology capable of achieving results beyond the capabilities... has been an especially critical tool for AST to support our consultant partners to resolve sites with mixed contaminant mass and dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPLDNAPL stands for dense non-aqueous phase liquid. It refers to a group of liquid organic compounds that are denser than...) impacts, it is applied via in-situ injection or can be soil mixed.
