SYSTEM ENGINEERING

VEETech, P.C. (www.veetechpc.com) has been providing diversified environmental engineering, consulting, construction and remediation services to clients since its inception in 1996. To date, VEETech has completed multiple projects for clients such as the United States Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Department of Transportation, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, AT&T, Atlanta Gas Light, Augusta Newsprint Company, Amrep, Inc., Consolidated Diesel Company (CDC), Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), Lubrizol Corp., Georgia Power Corporation and Lucent Technologies, Inc. 

As an innovative technology company in the environmental field, VEETech has also created a technological niche in implementing cost-effective pollution control technologies, such as BIO-SORPTIONä, which treats a wide variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Bio-Sorption™ for VOC Treatment

Bio-Sorption™ is an advanced form of Biofiltration Technology which utilizes one-step treatment using fluid sorption and aerobic microbial degradation. Bio-Sorption™ is especially designed to alleviate common problems associated with Biofiltration such as: (i) improper humidification or loss of moisture (ii) bed compacting, pluggage, and channeling; and (iii) lack of pH buffering capacity.

VEETech successfully utilized Bio-sorption™ to treat a variety of VOC such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, aromatics and substituted aromatic compounds. Many of those compounds are Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) as defined in the Clean Air Act Amendment (CAAA) of 1990. Under the CAAA, emission of HAPS must be reduced to less than 25T/yr (all HAPs combined) or to less than 10T/yr (one HAP only) by the year 2000.

Bio-Sorption™ is most unique when compared against competing treatment technologies, as it does not produce any toxic by-products or secondary wastes. The proprietary design enhances the interfacial/film transport and the proprietary media selectively absorbs and degrades the contamination.

VEETech custom designs each Bio-Sorption™ installation for specific contaminants and treatment conditions. The team tests the design before full-scale implementation.

 Bio-Sorption™ for Odor Control

 Bio-Sorption™ for odor control is an advanced form of biofiltration technology which alleviated the common drawbacks associated with biofiltration. Similar to Bio-Sorption™ treatment for VOC abatement, the odor control units are designed for one step treatment utilizing the combined principles of selective contaminant sorption and aerobic microbial degradation.

VEETech developed and tested several biofiltration media for successful sorption and biodegradation of common odorous compounds such as: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Methanethiol (MT: commonly known as methylmercaptan), Dimethl Sulfide (DMS) and Mimethyl Disulfide (DMDS). The test data indicates over 95% removal of all odorous compounds. The media tested include several forms of organic composts. The organic composts can also be premixed with selective adsorbents to increase the removal efficiency.

VEETech’s mission is to assist clients to enhance the quality of human life and the physical environment through the creative and sound application of human, economic, and natural resources; advanced science; and applied technology.  They dedicate themselves to work effectively with clients to define, address, and resolve their environmental challenges.

VEETech is a certified 8a organization with locations in North and South Carolina specializing in environmental engineering and site remediation services. VEETech provides its customers environmental engineering, design and remediation services by focusing on reducing operational costs through the usage of innovative technologies, and preventing pollution by process and operational modifications.
