Powdered activated carbon (PAC) has become a leading amendment for sediment remediation and contaminated sediment capping, helping immobilize pollutants and restore impacted waterways. In this video, J.F. Brennan Company introduces the Integrated Brennan On-Site System, iBOSS®, an innovative PAC delivery technology designed to improve the precision and efficiency of PAC placement in sediment caps.
iBOSS was developed to solve one of the biggest challenges in PAC sediment remediation: delivering fine powdered activated carbon through the water column without losing material to drift. Our new, patented, proprietary binding agent is approved by the US EPA, and allows us to install carbon-amended sediment caps with greater accuracy while minimizing environmental disturbance.
For environmental engineers, remediation consultants, and project owners working on contaminated sediment cleanup, iBOSS offers a new approach to implementing PAC-based remediation strategies in lakes, rivers, harbors, and other aquatic environments. The system helps ensure uniform distribution of PAC within sediment caps while maintaining the performance benefits that make powdered activated carbon such an effective amendment.
At Brennan, innovation is part of who we are. For more than a century, our teams have worked to restore waterways and protect the environment through specialized marine construction and environmental remediation solutions.
