BLOOMFIELD, Conn.-(Business Wire)-September 24, 2009 - VeruTEK Technologies Inc. (VTKT.PK) announced today the launch of VerySOLVE™ Peroxide, the first product in its new VeruSOLVE™ line of green combination plant surfactant/oxidant formulations for the cleanup of environmental contaminants including coal tar, creosote, chlorinated solvents, PCBs and other organic contaminants. VeruSOLVETM Peroxide is a proprietary combination of biodegradable plant surfactants and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is safe and effective in the cleanup of sources of contamination in soil and groundwater. VeruSOLVE products target and destroy toxic contaminants in soils, sediments, surfaces and groundwater. VeruSOLVE Peroxide will be available for sale in November 2009.

John Collins, Ph.D., VeruTEK CEO, said “the combination of plant surfactants and hydrogen peroxide is a game-changing, green and safe remedial technology. Our green technologies are 10 times more energy and carbon efficient than landfilling or incineration and much less intrusive to communities. Our formulations are easily applied but VeruTEK will also provide an optional service component to facilitate cleanup of these sites. VeruTEK’s vision is to accelerate cleanup of these toxic sites by developing green, effective and sustainable technologies.”

VeruTEK scientists invented Surfactant-Enhanced In Situ Chemical Oxidation (S-ISCOTM) in 2006 to clean up coal tar and creosote in soils and groundwater. Since then, VeruTEK’s S-ISCOTM technology platform has been applied to remedy other toxic contaminants as well. Last year, in a major scientific breakthrough, VeruTEK scientists were able to stabilize plant surfactants with various oxidants including sodium persulfate and hydrogen peroxide.
