Effective control of pollutant plumes
Intrasorp® is our colloidal liquid activated carbon suspension. It was developed and patented in 2004 at one of Europe’s leading environmental research centres (Helmholtz UFZ Leipzig) and is applied exclusively by Intrapore on a field scale and distributed throughout Europe. With Intrasorp® we can create sorption barriers for almost all organic pollutants in order to prevent the spread of pollutant plumes or permanently immobilise source zones.
The Intrasorp® suspension is characterised by outstanding mobility in the subsoil during injection, permanent deposition within the target zone and a high adsorption capacity for an wide range of organic pollutants.
The product has already proven itself at many sites: The water authorities’ injection permits have been granted without any problems, and the application itself can be carried out reliably even under complex conditions (with ongoing operations on the site, dense pipe networks, restricted working area, etc.).
Field-proven: Successful full-scale applications
- Rapid adsorption of BTEX, PAHs and mineral oil hydrocarbons (including halogenated ones) for long-term immobilisation of pollutants in groundwater plumes or source areas
- Effective adsorption of a wide range of other organic contaminants as well
- Can be used as a colloidally stabilised suspension in situ, via direct push or via injection into
existing wells or borehole into the aquifer - After injection, permanent deposition of the activated carbon particles on the soil matrix occurs, there is no uncontrolled “renegade” mobility
- Immediate cutting off of the contaminant plume
- Long-lasting effectiveness of the in situ adsorption barrier, with robust planning, exact dosing and proper application: usually in the range of several decades
- Field-proven remediation applications in large-scale field applications
- Outstanding product quality – approved for use even in drinking water, made in Germany and scientifically validated
- Can be boosted by our patented Aquaferrox® additive: Iron oxides serve as an electron acceptor for anaerobic microorganisms and thus improve the degradation of pollutants.
