SourceKill™ FDEP Approval

SourceKill™ Accepted by Florida DEQ Waste Management Division

TEA, Inc. is pleased to announce that its chlorinated solvent product, SourceKill™, has been accepted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Waste Management (“Division”) for use at contaminated sites for remediation of groundwater and smear zone soil.

SourceKill™ is an oil-in water emulsion based on NASA’s emulsified zero valent iron (“EZVI”).  According to Dr. Brad Droy, President/CEO of TEA: “SourceKill™ is the premier, in-situ product, for treating source contaminated groundwater in Florida. After injection, it targets source DNAPL zones for rapid results.  Cost-effective, targeted treatment for chlorinated sources.”

Droy further states: “In 2005, TEA was NASA’s first licensee to manufacture EZVI. Since that time, we have been continually improving the production output, reactivity and injectability of the emulsion.  To date, we are the largest manufacturer of SourceKill™ in the US. “

It is a great milestone to be on the Division’s list of accepted products. We are successfully using SourceKill™ in many locations outside Florida as well.  The product performance has been phenomenal!
