Environmental Remediation: The Max-Ox Group from GES. The Max-Ox Group (chemical oxidation with maximum distribution) has emerged from GES’ Innovative Remediation Solutions Program (IRSP), which has long built a reputation on the development and implementation of innovative and aggressive remediation technologies, services, and resources designed to accelerate site cleanup. Beginning in 1996 with the introduction of the first DAPL (Data Acquisition Processing Laboratory) real-time feasibility platform, the group later expanded its R&D efforts to in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technologies. Highly-effective proprietary aggressive technologies were developed to remediate contaminant impact at costs significantly below conventional methods: HypeAir for short-term, aggressive ISCO remediation of soil and groundwater and HypeAir-EX for continuous ISCO. The Max-Ox Group of technologies and services has grown to include Six-Phase Chemical Oxidation, Red-Duc reductive remediation, and many other specialty remediation services. These technologies have been a successful part of site remediation at over 1,000 sites since that time, including more than 300 ISCO sites and over 500 on-site feasibility tests.

Also, we will be presenting the “Young Engineer of the Year” Award, as well as counting the final election ballots and installing new Board Members and Officers.

Speaker:

Glenn Nicholas Iosue, P.E., GES Corporate Engineer, has nearly 20 years of diverse environmental engineering and consulting experience and holds a B.S. in Bioenvironmental Engineering from Rutgers University. He has significant experience working with Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.
