Overview

Scrud Remover™ was developed by Redox Tech, LLC (Cary, NC) and Provectus Environmental Products, Inc. (Freeport, IL) in response to industry demand for a safe, effective means of rehabilitating wells and injection points rendered ineffective or useless by extensive fouling.

This fouling is a well-documented combination of scum and crud (Scrud) buildup, following the application of (high-fat) EVO and other organic carbon amendments used to create reducing conditions within an aquifer.

Key Features

The Scrud Problem

Following application of emulsified vegetable oil (EVO) and other high-fat organic carbon amendments, wells and injection points can become severely fouled with a combination of:

• Scum: Accumulated organic material and biofilm at the water interface
• Crud: Precipitated minerals and biological growth within the well screen and formation

This fouling can render remediation systems ineffective and lead to premature well abandonment if not properly addressed.
