NEW PCB REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY
TEA has recently signed a licensing agreement with the U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to produce, distribute, and continue developmental work on the patented Activated Metal Treatment System (AMTS) technology. The technology has been demonstrated at multiple sites, including NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and Badger Army Ammunition Plant. The AMTS technology consists of an activated metal within a solvent system and a thickening agent to form a paste. The technology extracts PCB’s from materials such as paints and soils. The extracted PCB’s react with the activated metal and are degraded into benign by-products. TEA is scheduled to implement a pilot study on a site in the Northeastern United States in early 2010.
