ColloidalChem +Anchor

ColloidalChem +Anchor is a specialized formulation of Cascade’s activated carbon amendment, ColloidalChem. It integrates patented enzyme-based anchoring technology to precipitate highly mobile colloidal solids from groundwater after injection, retaining them within the intended permeable reactive barrier zone (US Patents #11,077,476 and 11,998,964).

Why It Matters

Colloids and emulsions are highly injectable, but at sites with meaningful groundwater flow, treatment materials can migrate over time. ColloidalChem +Anchor is designed to lock the amendment into place after emplacement, helping maintain barrier integrity, protect downgradient wells, and support more durable, long-term performance.

What You’ll Learn in the Brochure

• What ColloidalChem +Anchor is and how the patented anchoring technology helps retain colloidal carbon within a permeable reactive barrier
  
  
• How the enzyme-based mechanism works, including the breakdown of the stabilizing biopolymer to render particles immobile after injection
  
  
• Key performance benefits, including rapid barrier immobilization, improved contact versus PAC (>25 micron), prevention of impacts to downgradient wells, and sustainable reductions over time
  
  
• How Cascade supports successful deployment with turnkey solutions, including MIHPT/WaterlooAPS design optimization, testing (as needed), advanced injection/fracturing, and dosing/injection parameter support
