TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ is a proven and highly effective technology. It has been used in over 400 applications, with a 99% success rate at meeting stringent environmental clean-up criteria for "free release." more>> Back to Top
Applicable for a wide range of contaminants
TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ is applicable for a wide range of contaminants: PCBs - < 10 µg/100 cm2 more>> Radionuclides - free release, e.g., < 5,000 dpm/100 cm2 more>> Heavy metals - including mercury, chromium, cadmium, lead, arsenic more on heavy metals>>  more on mercury>> Hazardous organics and solvents, herbicides, pesticides Actually extracts contaminants from beneath the surface, as deep as 2 inches or more more>> Minimizes secondary waste volume more>> Does not damage the surface which is being decontaminated more>> Back to Top
EPA test confirms TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ removes PCB's from concrete
The TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ process was successfully demonstrated for the EPA in its SITE PROGRAM. The test was conducted at a U.S. Navy site in Hawaii in 1997 and confirmed the technology's ability to remove PCB's from the subsurface of concrete. Watch Video! Back to Top

Invented to Solve a Customer's Need
Ten years ago, a client's problems with PCB-contaminated concrete had reached a point of despair. The customer, a major steel company, had tried several approaches to remediate approximately 500,000 ft2 of concrete floor in the furnace area, but had been unable to reach the 10 microgram (µg) per 100 cm2 level mandated by the EPA. Surface cleaning had failed due to the age of the spills (25 years old) and the levels of contamination (in excess of 100,000 mg per 100 cm2 in some areas). Because of the lost revenues associated with downtime, the company considered a shutdown for removal of the concrete floor to be an unacceptable, last resort option. Through considerable research and development, the first generation of extraction chemical formulations and processes was developed, and the project was successfully completed. In the ensuing years, TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ technology continued to improve and perform other PCB extraction projects, primarily for steel and other heavy manufacturing customers in the Midwest.

Advances in Versatility
As successes in PCB extraction began to multiply, TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ was developed to remove other contaminants and to perform extraction projects on other types of materials. By making continued advancements in the technology, TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ developed as a much broader process to address pesticide, hazardous organic, and heavy metal contamination. Furthermore, these advances enabled extractions to be done on other surfaces and substrates, including brick, steel, cast iron, asphalt, and wood. The final major research area was the extraction of radionuclides, which were of particular interest to a number of customers in the Department of Energy (DOE) installations. By working closely with clients to understand their specific problems and then tailoring the chemistry and process accordingly another successful application was developed. Back to Top
A Patented Process
In April 1993, with research and testing complete, applications were submitted for U.S. and international patents on chemical compositions and decontamination processes. TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ was awarded U.S. patents 5,421,906, 5,728,660, 5,821,211,and 5,512,202 for the process and compositions employed using its sequential chemistry technology. European patent application 0693977 and several other domestic and foreign patents for compositions and processes were awarded in 1997. Back to Top
A Continuing Success Story
More recently, AET continued to perform a variety of successful commercial projects and has sought opportunities to further demonstrate the capabilities of the TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ technology. These demonstrations have included several successful DOE projects involving a variety of radionuclides and substrates. The technology has been successfully demonstrated in the EPA's SITE (Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation) Program providing formal third party documentation and verification for subsurface PCB removal. TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ has also been successfully demonstrated by the Federal Energy Technology Center (FETC) in Morgantown showing efficency for a broad range of radionuclides and substrates.

Serving a Unique Niche
The true distinction of TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ technology is its ability to extract subsurface contaminants without destroying the surface or substrate. This performance puts it in a unique niche, where surface cleaning is ineffective or insufficient and physical (destructive) processes are unacceptable or uneconomical. Equally important is the success of the TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™ process in over 500 applications. TechXtract®/TechXtract® RadPro™, sometimes marketed under RadPro™'s unique chemistry, tailored procedures, and continuing research make this the ideal decontamination option for a growing number of companies.
