IRT

• VTX is an organic catalyst that reacts with
  various oxidizing agents to produce hydroxyl
  radicals.
• No sludge is produced as a result of the process
  in normal use.
• Safe and easy to apply.
• Application of catalyst requires no materials of
  special construction.

The VTX ProcessTreatment of Sulfide
IRT

• VTX rapidly converts sulfide (H2S, HS-, S) to
  elemental sulfur.
• Immediate reduction of odor and corrosion due to
  H2S.
• VTX is suited for control of sulfide in
• Landfills
• Food Production
• Animal Waste
• Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Treatment
