Cost Comparison

FORAGERŪ Absorbents...when other treatments have fallen short!
FORAGERŪ products have emerged from EPA Superfund testing. They remove trace amounts of toxic heavy metals to non-detectable levels at minimal cost.

Contamination of ground water, waste water, storm water, and landfill leachate is a major problem that has traditionally been ignored, or when treated, done so with expensive remediation techniques. Obviously, ignoring the problem won't make it go away. But in many situations where remediation is possible, remediation attempts have been thwarted by the high cost of conventional treatment. Nevertheless, the EPA and other protective agencies do mandate remediation measures in many circumstances. In the instances when contaminated water is actually treated, systems typically employ:

• zeolites
• activated carbon or alumina
• precipitating agents
• ion-exchange resins
• surface-modified clays
• separation membranes
• peat moss & related natural products

None of such products or methods can be universally applied to common pollution problems. Each has certain limitations which prevent use in many instances. Some are too costly to use in all but the most critical situations, some simply don't work with many common pollutants, and some require complicated or expensive upstream pretreatment.

FORAGERŪ absorbents overcome many obstacles, making remediation possible now in most instances of trace contamination, regardless of contaminant or facility. And it can be achieved at a very affordable price.
