EnviroMetal Technologies Incorporated
Waterloo, ON
Company Overview
EnviroMetal Technologies Inc. (ETI) is the worldwide leader in the applications of permeable reactive barrier (PRB) technology for the remediation of contaminated groundwater. This technology was originally developed and patented by the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. In 1992 the technology was exclusively licensed to the ETI. Our company provides a site license for the use of the patented technology as well as a range of advisory and support services. ETI's services are typically provided to site owners, remediation consultants and contractors to assist them with the design and installation of the technology.

The EnviroMetal Process is an in-situ method of treating groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A typical in-situ configuration consists of a granular iron permeable reactive barrier (PRB) placed across the flow path of a VOC plume, as the plume flows along its natural gradient through the PRB, the VOCs are destroyed, with non-toxic end products. The granular iron PRB destroys typical contaminants such as tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), vinyl chloride (VC) and trichloroethane (TCA) to non- toxic end-products of ethene, ethane, methane and chloride ions.
The EnviroMetal Process is a mechanically simple, passive, long- term and cost-effective technology which overcomes the limitations of traditional pump-and-treat systems. It is a destructive treatment process with no toxic end-products. For in-situ applications, there is no energy consumption, no cost to extract and dispose groundwater, and minimal operations and maintenance cost. Where in-situ treatment is not feasible, above ground treatment systems may represent an inexpensive alternative to conventional treatment methods. Over a hundred systems have been installed in the United States, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Ireland, Australia Japan and in the United Kingdom. The technology has been considered as a cost-effective alternative at over 800 sites world wide.

The Envirometal Process - A Passive, Destructive Remediation Technology.
The patented EnviroMetal process uses a reactive metal (usually iron) to abiotically degrade dissolved halogenated organic compounds in groundwater. Field applications over the past 10 years in the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia have shown that the process can be used effectively to degrade several halogenated compounds (including trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, vinyl chloride and trichloroethane) over a wide range of concentrations, at very high degradation rates. No persistent breakdown products have been detected.
