Letter From The President – Volume 4
During my post-doctoral training at the U.S. EPA Environmental Research Laboratory in Gulf Breeze, Florida (1988 – 1990), my colleagues and I discovered a microbe with the ability to utilize high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as sole sources of carbon and energy for growth. Together with the U.S. EPA we obtained several patents on that core […]

The Methane Zone – Volume 1
Article 1 – Look for Yourself! RECENTLY, PEROXYCHEM, LLC RELEASED A “TECHNICAL BULLETIN” WHICH CONCLUDED, IN PART, THAT: “Routine field applications of EHC® have not resulted in excessive methane accumulation. Occasionally, higher methane concentrations have been observed at sites with more permeable lithologies where EHC was applied at higher loading rates (e.g., above 0.25% EHC […]

Letter From The President – Volume 3
The environmental engineering community is notoriously skeptical of new technology, somewhat resistant to change, and sometimes difficult to influence. I suspect this is mainly because many of us have seen bad technologies fail – sometimes majestically. I knew well from past experiences that the development and commercialization of a new environmental biotechnology addressing an issue […]
