PHOSter was developed by Department of Energy (DOE) Scientists and Researchers

M Seepage Basin, Savannah River Site, Aiken, SC

Largest DOE pilot demonstration to date

Introduced nutrients to conventional bio-sparging & bio-venting processes

PHOSter Development

Page 4: Gus Thompson VP/Business Development, eGeo Services, Inc. & Richard B. Smith, P.E. Principal Engineer, eGeo Services, Inc. Prepared for: Air and Waste

eGeo was awarded the contract by DOE to redesign PHOSter system in 1996—under the name PHOSter II™

PHOSter II™ technology is viable for remediation of contaminated groundwater

Systems housed in a Small (6-Point) or Large (12-Point) Trailer configuration

PHOSter II™ Process

Page 5: Gus Thompson VP/Business Development, eGeo Services, Inc. & Richard B. Smith, P.E. Principal Engineer, eGeo Services, Inc. Prepared for: Air and Waste

Vapor-phase nutrient injection to stimulate indigenous microorganisms

Gaseous Injection of: Air (used as Carrier

Gas) Phosphorous (TEP) Nitrogen (optional) Propane (if needed)

PHOSter II™ Process

Page 6: Gus Thompson VP/Business Development, eGeo Services, Inc. & Richard B. Smith, P.E. Principal Engineer, eGeo Services, Inc. Prepared for: Air and Waste

Biological Air Sparge – 0.5 to 2.0 cfm per injection well

Triethyl-phosphate (TEP) injection encourages bacterial cell division

Pulsed injection process overcomes oxygen and phosphate site limitations

PHOSter II™ Process

Page 7: Gus Thompson VP/Business Development, eGeo Services, Inc. & Richard B. Smith, P.E. Principal Engineer, eGeo Services, Inc. Prepared for: Air and Waste

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) allows remote checking of telemetry and System Status (via modem)

eGeo Systems remain on-site for the duration of the remediation cleanup effort

Amoco Station, Detroit, AL

Page 12: Gus Thompson VP/Business Development, eGeo Services, Inc. & Richard B. Smith, P.E. Principal Engineer, eGeo Services, Inc. Prepared for: Air and Waste

In January 2006, all key monitoring wells reached Alabama target limits for Benzene and MTBE.

In October 2006, site was entered into Alabama Post-Remediation Monitoring Period.

In January 2007, ADEM regulators awarded site “No Further Action” (NFA) designation
