Virotec Reagents
Virotec Reagent Range and Applications
Virotec has developed a large range of reagent to treat effectively the majority of contaminants you can find in most environmental remediation and regulated waste treatment projects.
Industrial Wastewater and Solids Treatment:
ViroFlow™
Virotec’s ViroFlow™ technology enables the successful sustainable transformation for processing and manufacturing industries. The ViroFlow™ technology suite is a proven and simple solution that reduces high concentrations of heavy metals, including lead, chromium, nickel, and zinc, as well as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), phosphorus, odour, along with Copper, Chrome and Arsenate (CCA) in industrial wastewater.
ViroFlow™ Reagent Range & Applications
MetalLock™ Superfine - Locks Away Heavy Metals
MetalLock™ reagent is designed immobilise heavy metals, from industrial wastewaters and immobilise heavy metals in waste soilds and sludges.
MegaLock™ Superfine - Treats Acid and locks away Heavy Metals
MegaLock™ reagent is designed to treat highly acidic waters (pH<4.6-6) whilst immobilising heavy metals, from industrial wastewaters and immobilise heavy metals in waste soilds and sludges. Unlike conventional alkaline treatments, MegaLock™ reagent properties include high acid neutralising capacity and binds up to 99.9% of heavy metal contaminants. MegaLock™ has a positive carbon footprint, is insoluble and remains in place and does not catalyse pyrite decomposition.
ViroBlend™ Reagent designed to remove phosphate from industrial wastewater and immobilise phoshate in sludges.
ViroBond™ Reagent designed to remove CCA from runoff, wastewater and leachate ponds at timber preservation plants and immobilise CCA in waste solids, sludges and contaminated soil.
ViroBond™ - Treats Copper Chrome Arsenic
Just like James, ViroBond™ works by strategically forming strong chemical bonds with Copper, Chrome and Arsenate (CCA) ions in leachate ponds or sediment. ViroBond™ is designed to remove CCA from runoff, wastewater and leachate ponds at timber preservation plants and immobilise CCA in waste solids, sludges and contaminated soil. ViroBond™ reagent effectively immobilises heavy metals into an insoluble, non-reactive solid allowing reclassification of contaminated solids or hazardous sludges. ViroBond™ reagent produces the best available treatment strategy for CCA leachates ponds, stormwater drains and contaminated solids and soil.
ViroFresh™ - Eliminates the Stink!
ViroFresh™ destroys objectionable odours from industrial wastewater and processes. The growing importance placed on odour control from sewage treatment plants, industrial plants, paper pulp mills, tanneries and farming has led to governments and local councils enforcing stricter regulatory controls on odour emissions. ViroFresh™ reagent utilises six different odour reduction mechanisms to eliminate stinky water situations!
ViroLock™ Reagent designed to remove PFOA, PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS.
Treatment Applications:
- removing heavy metals from industrial wastewaters and the immobilising of heavy metals in waste solids and sludge
- removing and immobilising chromium from tannery wastewaters, sludges and solids
- removing phosphate from industrial wastewater and reducing sludge volumes
- removing CCA from runoff, wastewater and leachate ponds at timber preservation plants and immobilising CCA in waste solids, sludges and contaminated soil
- removing objectionable odours from industrial wastewater and processes
Contaminated Site Remediation and Soil Treatment:
ViroSoil™
Virotec's unique reagent solutions for contaminated soil remediation, have been successfully applied globally to treat landfill, oil refineries, processing facilities, dredge spoil at ports and and marinas along with being effectively sued as an addictive in agriculture and biological fertilisers improving horticultural properties to enhance plant growth.
ViroSoil™ Reagent Range & Applications
MetalLock™ - Locks Away Heavy Metals
MetalLock™ reagent is designed to neutralise acid and binds up to 99.99% of heavy metals. MetalLock™ also removes cyanite, arsenic, phosphates and other species
MegaLock™ - Treats Acid and locks away Heavy Metals
Virotec has developed its MegaLock™ reagents to treat Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS) and marine clays, bind heavy metals, enhance nutrient retention capacity, and promote grass, plant and tree growth. The methods used to achieve this allow in-situ remediation and the reagent can be added to the soil profile using dry powdered, water soluble or slurried forms of the reagent depending on which form is most convenient and appropriate for each site. In most cases after application of MegaLock™ reagent treated soils and wastes can be used to create a rich substrate for plant growth safe in the knowledge that immobilised metals cannot be translocated into adjoining non-polluted environments or taken up by plants.
ViroLock™ - For the treatment of PFAS/PFOS
Reagent designed to immobilise PFAS/PFOS in soils and sludges. Virotec’s patented and unique ViroLock™. Reagent has the ability to reduce PFAS and leachable metals in soils, sediments and water by > 99% in one single stage application.
ViroBond™ - Treats Copper Chrome Arsenic
ViroBond™ works by strategically forming strong chemical bonds with Copper, Chrome and Arsenate (CCA) ions in timber preservation waste. ViroBond™ is designed to immobilise CCA in waste solids, sludges and contaminated soil. ViroBond™ reagent effectively immobilises heavy metals into an insoluble, non-reactive solid allowing reclassification of contaminated solids or hazardous sludges. ViroBond™ reagent produces the best available treatment strategy for CCA leachates ponds, stormwater drains and contaminated solids and soil.
ViroGrow™ - To Enhance Plant Growth
A soil additive used in agriculture, providing pH buffering and essential trace elements to promote plant growth. ViroGrow™ not only neutralises acidity, it incorporates essential plant nutrients, such as potassium, nitrogen, phosphate, calcium and magnesium trace elements. ViroGrow™reagent also binds toxic metals, including aluminum, copper and manganese, from affected soils. ViroGrow™ can successfully be used as an additive in biological fertilisers improving horticultural properties.
ViroFresh™ - Eliminates the Stink!
ViroFresh™ destroys objectionable odours.
ViroBac™ - To Destroy Organic Compounds
Bioremediation reagent designed to breakdown TPH, BTEX, VOC and other intractable hydrocarbon derivatives, such as PCE, TCE and PAH in soil.
ViroLock™ - Immobilise PFAS / PFOS
Reagent designed to immobilise PFAS in soils and sludges
Treatment Applications:
- immobilising heavy metals, volatile organic compounds such as PCE, TCE and intractable hydrocarbon derivatives like BaP in contaminated soils
- remediating Acid Sulphate Soils (ASS) and marine clays with the benefit of enhancing nutrient retention capacity and promoting plant growth
