Solinst 106037 Waterloo Emitter, 1.8" x 51", 1/2" National Pipe Taper Male/Low-Density Polyethylene

Waterloo Emitter, 1.8" x 51", 1/2" National Pipe Taper Male/Low-Density Polyethylene

The Waterloo Emitter is a simple, low cost device designed for the controlled and uniform release of oxygen, or other bioenhancing amendments, to encourage and sustain the growth of microorganisms required for in-situ bioremediation of contaminated groundwater. The patented technology* enables steady, direct diffusion of oxygen into an aquifer through pressurized silicone or LDPE tubing. Continuous, consistent release of oxygen into the tubing creates the ideal concentration gradient driving this passive system, without bubbling off excess oxygen. Emitters are ideal for the bioremediation of BTEX and MTBE using oxygen. The diffusive process provides immediate bioavailability of molecular oxygen for aerobic biodegradation enhancement, therefore no loss of the amendment gas occurs. The Waterloo Emitter can also encourage desirable abiotic

Applications

• Oxygen release for aerobic bioremediation of BTEX and MTBE
• Hydrogen release for anaerobic reductive dechlorination of solvents
• Introduction of dissolved SF6, argon, etc. for use as tracers
• Release of CO2 for pH adjustment
• Light alkane release to promote co-metabolic biodegradation of MTBE
• Plume migration barrier, primary remediation device, or polishing
