Surfactant Enhanced In Situ Chemical Oxidation

    In this month’s Peroxygen Talk, Dr. John Collins, President and CEO of VeruTEK Technologies, and Dr. George Hoag, Senior Vice President for Research and Development at VeruTEK, discuss the use of surfactants to enhance in situ chemical oxidation of contaminants in NAPLs and absorbed phases. 
    Dr. Collins earned a PhD in Soil Science from UC – Riverside. He has spent the last 15 years consulting to the Department ofDefense/Energy/EPA and Fortune 500 companies on environmental risk, remediation, insurance cost recovery and liability. Dr. Collins is a well-known proponent of green technologies in solving the worldwide legacy of industrial contamination. Dr. Hoag received a PhD in Environmental Engineering from University of Connecticut. In addition, he founded and directed the Environmental Research Institute at the University of Connecticut until 2002. He has over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, 4 patents and is one of the founding fathers of In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO), Soil Vapor Extraction and other environmental remediation methods. In 2005, Drs. Hoag and Collins founded VeruTEK Technologies.
