BALLAST, SUBSOIL AND GROUNDWATER DECONTAMINATION
THE CHALLENGE
u
In-situ cleaning of railway ballast and decontamination of subsoil and groundwater from Glyphosate and toxic organic leftovers.
u
Fast, efficient and cost-effective vegetation control with non-Glyphosate weed killer as a complementary solution.
THE TECHNOLOGY
RBO – Railway Ballast Oxidation technology, is an in-situ physico-chemical technology based on the generation of superoxide radicals with surfactants and phase transfer catalysts that can simultaneously decompose organic leftovers on ballast surface, subsoil and groundwater.
VALUE PROPOSITION
u
High efficiency with up to 94% conversion for a wide range of organic contaminants and herbicide leftovers for all railroad layers.
u
High efficiency with up to 99% conversion for a wide range of organic contaminants and herbicide leftovers in groundwater.
u
In-situ cleaning of railway bed from a wide range of organic contaminants without bed´s removal nor replacement.
