EOS Remediation, LLC, a developer and manufacturer of advanced technologies for groundwater restoration, announced that it has received a decision from the Australian Patent Office validating Solutions-IES’ Australian Patent Application No. 782548 for groundwater bioremediation using emulsified oils. EOS Remediation is Solutions-IES’ exclusive licensee for this technology.
This win for EOS Remediation is the latest in a string of recent successes. 'The grant of our Australian Patent was opposed by William A. Newman. We are pleased that we successfully defended the validity of our application,” said Dr. Robert C. Borden, P.E. “The decision vindicates our position that the intellectual property disclosed is novel and non-obvious. The Australian Patent Office has affirmed that our patent covers the use of oil emulsions for aquifer bioremediation where the oil droplets are smaller than the aquifer pores.' EOS Remediation is the only company licensed by Solutions-IES to apply this innovative and effective process.
The use of emulsified oils, EOS®, for groundwater bioremediation is a significant advancement in the treatment of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents, energetic materials, nitrates, oxidized heavy metals, and radionuclides. The proven EOS® Technology substantially reduces the cost to restore contaminated aquifers.
EOS Remediation uses sustainable green chemistry in its family of groundwater bioremediation products. The addition of emulsified vegetable oils provides food for the microorganisms and stimulates biodegradation activity. The EOS® Technology has successfully turned land once deemed unusable into productive and safe real estate. The company annually completes more than 200 projects worldwide. Since first developed by Dr. Borden in 1999, millions of pounds of EOS® have been successfully applied at sites throughout the world.
