bioremediation made simple with the Waterloo emitter
Site BTEX less than 
10 ppm?
Need a low-cost remediation device with proven success?
Is This Solution a Good Fit For Remediating Your BTEX Site?
BTEX Bioremediation Efforts have never been easier, with this proven, low cost method.  

If your answer is YES to these 4 Questions, the Waterloo Emitter is a good fit!


Is BTEX Concentration 10 ppm or less?


Would you like to drastically reduce your Remediation Costs?


Are you using 2", 4" or 6" Wells?


Would you prefer to deploy a very low maintenance solution?

  • Enhanced Biormediation
The Waterloo Emitter™ is designed to assist  remedial biodegradation of BTEX and other contaminants. It enables oxygen to diffuse through silicone or LDPE tubing in a controlled uniform manner. 
  • Steady, Direct Diffusion of Oxygen
Emitters are ideal for the bioremediation of BTEX using oxygen. The diffusive process provides immediate bioavailability of molecular oxygen for aerobic biodegradation enhancement.
Remediation of a Former Gas Station Site - Within 6 Months!
Vertex Environmental Inc., located in Cambridge, Ontario, specializes in the in-situ remediation of contaminated groundwater. They were contracted to clean up a former gas station site in Guelph, Ontario. The contaminant plume containing gasoline and diesel occurs in unconsolidated silty sand to a depth of approximately 3 m (10 ft). The initial plume stretched 30 m (100 ft) long and 15 m (50 ft) wide.

A total of 14 Waterloo Emitters using LDPE tubing were installed in 4″ wells screened at and below the water table. Emitters were placed to form a “fence” a blue bottle in a room along the down gradient property boundary to cut off the contamination plume.

.......Within one month of the installation, DO levels in the monitoring wells increased an average of 880%. Initial PHC levels were a maximum of 27 mg/L (average 9.6 mg/L). Within six months, results showed that the levels of BTEX and PHC had dropped below the analytical detection limit, meeting the Soil, Ground Water and Sediment Standards of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act, thus enabling the Emitter system to be decommissioned just one year after installation.
