End-to-End Service: Long-Term, Low Lifecycle Cost Solutions

When facing complex environmental challenges, you need a partner with definitive experience. Envirogen personnel have decades of experience in addressing the type of water-related challenges refineries face. We emphasize developing long-term relationships with our clients that can include design/build/operate (DBO) options.

We deliver solutions engineered for low lifecycle cost (TOTEX):

  • Research, Development, and Piloting Capabilities: We work with your technical teams, providing research and development studies of the process from bench scale and demonstration/pilot scale which leads to the final design. On-site pilot-testing helps validate system design and fully meet client requirements.
  • Design & Build: Our design and engineering teams deliver cost-effective system designs. We employ specialized, high performing unit processes backed by sophisticated process design.

Operations, Service, & Maintenance: We provide ongoing services to improve manufacturing operations and offer full-time O&M staffing, routine contracts, and emergency response.

Advanced Systems for Water, Air, Materials Recovery, and Product Purification

Our technology-agnostic approach ensures we select the most effective solution for your unique chemistry and budget, focusing on the lowest Total Expenditure (TOTEX).

Groundwater Remediation

We help facilities achieve compliance with local discharge permits for organic compounds.

Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR): Envirogen has numerous installations across the United States where our FBR technology is providing groundwater treatment solutions for energy companies. The FBR is often the most economical treatment choice.

  • Performance: FBR systems handle high flows at low cost, with typical treatment efficiencies of 99 percent or higher.
  • Contaminants: Treats chemicals, aromatics, alcohols, ketones, chlorinated solvents, PAHs, hydrocarbons, or BTEX.
  • Scale: Successfully operated at ranges from 5 to 6,000 GPM, yielding high performance paired with low capital and operating costs.

 

Advanced Metals Removal System (AMRS): The AMRS relies on select Zero Valent Iron media to comply with stringent wastewater discharge permit limits. A pilot study demonstrated its effectiveness to reduce selenium levels to single digit parts per billion. (For highly specific selenium solutions, see our dedicated page).

  • Ion Exchange (IX): We have extensive experience with high-performing ion exchange (IX) technology in treating groundwater, as well as traditional pump and treat installations.
Materials Recovery and Product Purification

Proprietary and patented technologies for purifying process streams yield operational improvements while meeting environmental and financial goals.

  • Materials Recovery: Envirogen has specialized expertise in waste minimization and materials recovery. Our Ion Exchange systems can be applied for recovery of amines, organic compounds, metals (Pt, Pd, Au, Ag), and catalysts (including molybdenum and cobalt).
  • Purification & Catalyst Recovery: We develop product purification, product recovery, and catalyst (metals) recovery processes. Capabilities include removal of constituents from process liquids, such as alcohols, non-polar and polar organic solvents, glycols, and alkanolamines.
  • Regeneration Services: We offer media regeneration services from our Memphis, TN location.
Sustainable Air Treatment & Emissions Control (VOCs, HAPs, and Odor)

Our sustainable emissions control offering uses biological treatment technology for managing VOCs, HAPs, and odor.

  • Low Operating Costs: Our solutions are among the greenest technologies on the market. They feature very low long-term operating costs, reducing chemical and energy consumption, and can lower your carbon footprint.
  • Biofiltration Systems: We offer biofilters, biotrickling filters, and combinations thereof. They are extremely effective in treating odors caused by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) (with greater than 99% removal common).
  • Performance: Removal ratios in excess of 95% for water-soluble compounds and 90% for BTEX and similar compounds are readily achievable.

Projects That Deliver: High Efficiency, Guaranteed Outcomes

Our solutions are backed by high-efficiency performance data and sophisticated process design.

  • FBR Efficacy: The Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) system achieves typical treatment efficiencies of 99 percent or higher when treating complex contaminants like aromatics and BTEX.
  • Air Control Efficacy: Our biofiltration systems achieve greater than 99% H2S removal and can achieve 90% removal for BTEX and similar compounds in low loading applications at high flow volumes.
  • Specialized Systems: Our proprietary multi-bed Ion Exchange system configuration uses proven process control software to produce very low waste rates while meeting a wide range of volume requirements.
