- Proprietary technologies are patented, ensuring unique and safe approaches for in-situ chemical oxidation processes.
- Successful treatment of contaminants with concentrations of up to 100,000 ppm.
- Innovative processes developed in collaboration with renowned scientists and the Casali Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
- New Glyphosate-free vegetation control techniques demonstrating continuous expansion in environmental technology offerings.
Collaborative Research and Partnerships
Alpha Cleantec AG maintains a long-run partnership agreement with the Casali Institute of Applied Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel – one of the leading research centers in the field of applied chemistry. This collaboration reinforces the credibility and scientific foundation behind each innovation. The cooperative research environment has fueled the development of unique and efficient in-situ chemical oxidation processes, ensuring that rigorous standards are met. The integration of academic insight with hands-on, patented technology reflects a dynamic approach that is both robust and adaptable. It’s like having the best minds on board, constantly evolving the technologies … to meet the challenges of modern environmental contamination.
Applications in Diverse Environments
Alpha Cleantec technologies are successfully applied in numerous environments, addressing contaminants from petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents to cosmetic, pharmaceutical leftovers, and by-products. A wide range of potential applications has been identified including crude oil and organic spills, in situ cleaning of railway ballast, groundwater treatment, and decontamination in high-impact areas like refineries, military bases, and industrial parks. There is also effective use in municipal wastewater facilities, soil treatment facilities, and even specialized applications such as surface cleaning or decontamination of water with nuclear leftovers in power plants and other facilities. By designing environments across both private and public sectors, the technologies have proven their versatility and practical impact in real-world settings.
Advanced Technological Processes
The project is further distinguished by its advanced technological processes. Alpha Cleantec AG has developed processes for straightforward, efficient, and cost-effective in-situ generation of superoxide radicals. Under non-thermal plasma (NTP) conditions, these radicals reveal properties of a super nucleophile and a super oxidizing agent, enabling them to react rapidly with a wide range of pollutants. These pollutants include hydrocarbons, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), BTEX, petroleum leftovers, aromatics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), chlorinated solvents, PCBs, dioxins, as well as pesticides and herbicides. The radical-driven approach ensures swift mineralization of contaminants even at concentrations up to 100,000 ppm. This unique process not only optimizes efficiency but also opens up new dimensions in environmental decontamination by harnessing chemical oxidation in innovative ways…
Cost-Effective and Environmentally Responsible Solutions
Alpha Cleantec AG’s approach is not merely about remediation but also about providing significant economic benefits. The technologies are engineered to minimize costs while maximizing results, a balance that is especially crucial in large-scale environmental and industrial projects. This project champions the idea that environmental remediation does not have to be prohibitively expensive – instead, it can be a viable solution that supports both sustainable practices and improved financial outcomes. The patented systems provide a competitive edge and credible assurance for industries needing to tackle contamination challenges swiftly and responsibly.
