Ozone Applications in Soil and
Groundwater Remediation
An innovative chemical oxidation process using ozone
microbubbles and hydroperoxide-coated ozone microbubbles that are
pulsed through the soil and groundwater have proved extremely
cost-effective in the remediation treatment of petroleum products,
chlorinated solvents, and PAHs. This patented processes*
dramatically reduces the time, total cost, and potential long-term
liability of traditional clean-up methods such as pump-and-treat
and dig-and-haul and other In-situ treatments.
C-Sparger®
The ozone sparging process (C-Sparge™) employs nano-to
micro-sized bubbles of air-encapsulated ozone, created by
forcing an air/ozone mixture through Spargepoints® into soil or
groundwater. The ozone oxidation process may be further enhanced
by coating the air/ozone bubbles with a liquid oxidant
(Perozone™). The microbubbles are pulsed through the soil and
groundwater, yielding rapid clean-up. After the initial
reaction, ozone and Perozone™ both decompose to beneficial
oxygen.
- Low capital equipment costs
- Minimal site disturbance during installation
- Low on-site profile
- Low operating costs – runs on standard household current
(wall-mount system)
- In-situ destruction of targeted compounds
- Rapid decrease of contaminant mass and concentration in
soil and groundwater – impressive results may be seen in weeks
- No vapor control necessary
- Clean reaction – no hazardous byproduct formation
- Microbubble size and means of introduction into the
interstitial spaces of the formation ensures maximum contact
with contaminant

Perozone™
The Perozone Ozone Oxidation Microbubble System, working in
tandem with the powerful C-Sparger® pulse coated microbubbles
through the soil and groundwater, dramatically reducing the
time, cost, and potential long-term liability of old-fashioned,
cleanup methods. Best of all, after the initial reaction, both
ozone and PerozoneTM decompose into beneficial oxygen.
- Adds to the above benefits!
- Hydroxyl radical formation boosts the oxidative capacity
of the C-Sparger®
- Extends contaminant treatability to PAHs, PCBs and
pesticides
- Uses very dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide pulsed into
the formation
