  1. IRT Innovative Remediation Technologies, Inc The VTX Process “Liquid Incineration” for a Cleaner Environment

  2. VTX IRT • VTX is an organic catalyst that reacts with various oxidizing agents to produce hydroxyl radicals. • No sludge is produced as a result of the process in normal use. • Safe and easy to apply. • Application of catalyst requires no materials of special construction.

  3. Reactive SpeciesRelative Oxidation Power* Fluorine 2.23 Hydroxyl radicals 2.06 Atomic oxygen (singlet) 1.78 Ozone 1.52 Persulfate 1.48 Hydrogen peroxide 1.31 Permanganate 1.24 Hypochlorous acid 1.10 Chlorine1.00* IRT Relative Oxidation Potential

  4. IRT Odor & Corrosion Control Treatment of Sulfide

  5. The VTX ProcessTreatment of Sulfide IRT • VTX rapidly converts sulfide (H2S, HS-, S=) to elemental sulfur. • Immediate reduction of odor and corrosion due to H2S. • VTX is suited for control of sulfide in: Landfills Food Production Animal Waste Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Treatment Rapid Oxidation of Sulfide

  6. IRT Reaction Time and Dosage Comparison: H2O2 Alone vs. VTX Process Treatment of Hydrogen Sulfide Hydrogen Peroxide Alone H2S + H2O2 S0 + 2H2O Reaction time:20-30 minutes Effective dosage (mass H2O2/mass H2S): 1.5 to 4.0 : 1.0 VTX Process H2S + VTX /H2O2  S0 + 2H2O + salts + CO2 + [VTX]* Reaction time:<3 minutes Effective Dosage (mass VTX/mass H2S): 1.5 to 2.5: 1.0 * Note: [VTX] = remaining un-reacted VTX

  7. Peroxide Dosage at 2.5 times the Mass of Sulfide IRT Comparative Treatment of Sulfides in Wastewater Hydrogen Peroxide vs. VTX Process H2O2 only H2O2 w/ variable VTX dosages
