Applications:

WILCLEAR^® lactate concentrate is used to enhance in-situ microbial activity for the biodegradation of chlorinated solvents and perchlorates, and the reduction and mineralization of certain metals. Technical support for bioremediation applications is provided by JRW staff and through an exclusive agreement with SRP Technologies, developers of Bioavailability Enhancement Technology (B.E.T.®), US Patent 6,783,678 published February 21, 2002, issued August 31, 2004, and US Patent 7,449,114 published May 26, 2005, issued November 11, 2008.

Descriptions

JRW Bioremediation’s WILCLEAR^® lactate concentrates for bioremediation (C3H5O3Na or C3H5O3K) are clear, slightly viscous, miscible liquids designed as inexpensive, self-buffering carbon sources for the promotion of reductive dechlorination. WILCLEAR^® lactate concentrate is an FDA affirmed GRAS food grade sodium or potassium salt of fermented lactic acid. WILCLEAR^® can also be amended with ACCELERITE™ bioremediation nutrient to increase metabolic kinetics and overall efficiency.
