ERDC Innovation
• In situ detection/removal of MEC from water in concentrations as low as one part per million
• Reaches final color and intensity after just 24 hours of exposure
• Scalable to treat larger bodies of water such as rivers, as well as small ponds and runoffs
• Uses abundant and inexpensive AFC materials
• Reusable
• Streamlined process for detecting explosives in soil, water, or tissue samples
• Simultaneously detects traditional TNT and newer IMX
• Single column analysis yields faster results
• Reduces cost by using less solvent
• In-situ treatment for contaminated subsurface soil and groundwater
• Removes > 95% of TNT and NB
• Reduces chlorinated propane concentrations to non-detectable levels
• Utilizes inexpensive ammonia gas
• Environmentally friendly
