Frac Rite proudly announces the latest addition to our fracturing and injection fleet, the EFI2000 Permeation – Injection unit. This equipment was designed and fabricated in house specifically to meet the increasing demand for injection of a wide variety of solution based oxidants and bio-amendments from a small, portable operational platform. However, unlike other service providers who only represent or inject certain brands of treatment reagents, Frac Rite has no vested interest in any particular treatment product over another. We have therefore designed our equipment to accomodate the fullest range possible of treatment amendments, having emplaced and mapped the subsurface distribution of virtually every commercially available remedial treatment product from zero valent iron to lactates, surfactants, soy oils, all manner of slurry and solution oxidants, including nano-peroxides. In addition, we have designed our own proprietary operational protocols for the safe and effective delivery of these treatment amendments into subsurface environments, including bedrock.

Gypsum is a soft mineral that occurs in abundance across the Arabian Peninsula and in Oman and Saudi Arabia in particular. It has one unique property, which is its ability to hold large quantities of water; trillions of litres may be locked into deposits across the region. Our team, led by H.I.T. in Rotterdam, have devised a strategy using fracturing and proprietary extraction technology for a field pilot implementation to extract water from gypsum formations. This research pilot is currently being considered for funding by interested parties in Oman, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Frac Rite and their Korean licensee, TRIUM Solutions, Inc. were invited by the ROK Army to conduct a pilot demonstration project for the remediation of a diesel- contaminated military base in South Korea using frac-permeation technology. The work was conducted in June and July of 2009 and involved the fracture-emplacement and permeation of modified Fentons Reagent to mitigate Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon impacts in soil to below applicable land use clean-up criteria. Third party validation demonstrated that initial soil contaminant concentrations approaching 10,000 mg/kg were reduced to well below the remediation criteria of 2,000 mg/kg within two months. The success of this demonstration project resulted in the adoption of frac-permeation treatment as the only sanctioned in situ remediation technology permitted at South Korean military sites.

Due to the growth of our business, Frac Rite has moved its office and shop to a new location in north-east Calgary to accomodate the needs of our personnel and the expansion of our equipment fleet. You can now find us at #2, 4416 – 5th Street N.E. in Calgary. If you ever find yourself in the neighbourhood, please drop by for a visit – we’d be happy to show you our new premises!

A&G Milieutechniek bv. is a Dutch environmental contractor, specialised in in-situ remediation, soil cleaning, secondary building materials, and waste disposal. A&G is a full member of the Van Gansewinkel Groep with operational activities and networks in several European countries and is interested in expanding the activities to the new EU-countries, Canada and the US.

A&G and Frac Rite have teamed-up in order to develop their international market potential. The companies will make use of their respective networks to extend their activities into new markets. Together the companies can offer a complete range of in-situ solutions, particularly in low–permeability, "problem" soils.

Brander Environmental Strategies and Technologies Inc. (BEST) is a leader in the environmental brownfield and contracting field through the use of advanced technologies and decades of experience in site remediation. BEST is working very closely with OXY Teknologies and Frac Rite to research and develop new and improved methods of solution- oxidant delivery into challenging soil conditions to expedite the in situ remediation of soil and groundwater impacted by a variety of petroleum and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Recent applications at sites in Ontario have demonstrated the improved delivery efficiencies and cost-effectiveness of our advanced in situ approach to bring contaminated properties to site-closure.

We are pleased to announce the opening of our U.S. sister office based in Mesquite, Texas. Frac Rite Remediation, Inc. was incorporated in order to more effectively service the growing and increasingly innovative U.S. in situ remediation market. We anticipate that FRRI will be able to effectively team with our U.S. client base to provide an unsurpassed level of excellence to safely meet their site remediation challenges.

Frac Rite Environmental Ltd. announces its entry into a Teaming Agreement with TRIUM Environmental Solutions, an Alberta Corporation, to service the soil and groundwater remediation market in the Republic of Korea. Trium Environmental Solutions Inc. (TRIUM) is an environmental consulting firm providing expertise in environmental forensics, environmental toxicology, environmental risk assessment, analytical chemistry, data quality assurance, litigation support, hydrogeological investigation and monitoring, environmental site assessment, environmental risk management, remediation engineering and project management. The synergy created from complementary environmental technologies and expertise of Frac Rite and Trium uniquely positions the Team as a leading edge provider of advanced, in situ technologies for cost-effective and meaningful environmental solutions in the Korean market.

The much anticipated addition to our "fleet" of fracturing equipment is now operational and will have its baptism of fire on a remediation project in south-central Alberta. The Mini-Frac, (aka MF5200) was designed to provide both light duty fracturing and remedial injections of solid/slurry/solution treatment amendments. This versatile unit is trailer mounted for maximum mobility and is already scheduled for remedial injections of polylactate, calcium peroxide, chitin, and modified fenton’s reagents at sites across Alberta.

Frac Rite Environmental Ltd. was invited to participate in a highly informative Technology Seminar hosted by AIM ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP at the state of the art Hamilton Compost Centre, in Hamilton, Ontario – Canada. The focus of the seminar was on new and cost-effective environmental technologies being used in the United States, Europe, and Canada. Mr. Gordon Bures, Director of Remediation Services at Frac Rite Environmental Ltd. was invited as a guest speaker on the topic of Fracture Enhanced Remediation using Treatment Amendments, specifically chemical oxidation amendments.

The two day seminar and compost facility tour was well attended by environmental consultants and industry representatives, and featured a diverse array of topics from Forms of Chemical Oxidation to Hazardous Waste Stabilization and Advanced Composting Technologies. A big THANK YOU to our friends at AIM for inviting us to participate in this leading edge seminar.
