While sulfate is often the go-to electron acceptor for enhancing anaerobic biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons, the strategic addition of nitrate can offer several key benefits in biogeochemical remediation approaches targeting mixed contaminants, including chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs).

 Discover how Tersus Environmental’s patented EDS-Advanced™ technology sets a new benchmark in anaerobic bioremediation. In this article, we explore the scientific innovations and field-proven benefits that make EDS-Advanced™ the smarter, more sustainable alternative to traditional carbohydrate-based soluble and emulsified vegetable oil (EVO) electeon donors.

Wondering if your in situ remediation is truly working? This post explores how Compound-Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA) goes beyond concentration data to confirm degradation, distinguish between sources, and strengthen site strategies. Learn how Tersus can help you apply this advanced tool for clearer, more confident decisions.

Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) and sodium permanganate (NaMnO₄) are powerful oxidizing agents used to break down harmful contaminants in water. When dissolved, they produce permanganate ions (MnO₄⁻), which react with pollutants, transforming them into less harmful substances. This chemical process plays a vital role in cleaning and purifying contaminated water sources.

Ensuring product safety and environmental sustainability is paramount at Tersus. Read on for an update on our latest research efforts regarding our PFAS evaluation program to assess its presence in our TASK™ MicroEVO Self-Emulsifier. We are pleased to announce that no detections (ND) were reported.
