ENVIRONMENT 21 LLC
The ESK Koala is the latest in European Technology for high-efficiency oil/water separation offered exclusively by Environment 21 LLC. Through the application of coalescing media, the ESK has proven, under European DIN Standards for testing, to achieve 5-milligrams-per-liter effluent concentrations at flow rates in excess of 5,000 gallons per minute (gpm) in a single 10-foot-diameter precast concrete manhole, making it one of the most competitive high-efficiency oil/water separators in the country. For flow rates greater than 5,000 gpm, a system can be custom-designed.

PROFILE PRODUCTS LLC
New BioCover Alternative Daily Cover is a cost-saving landfill alternative that is easier to apply than soil, tarps, or plastic daily covers. A hydraulically applied product manufactured from Thermally Refined wood fibers, BioCover combines cellulose fiber and a viscous hydrocolloid tackifier. It saves landfill space by increasing the surface bond to debris on the site, which ultimately lowers blowing debris and traps odors. It also provides a uniform layer between landfill waste and the surrounding environment, which deters unwanted pests. Environmentally safe and non-toxic, BioCover minimizes accumulated leachate pockets and is 100% biodegradable. It absorbs moisture, but allows for air and water infiltration, and, when compared to a thick soil cover, BioCover accelerates decomposition.

SOIL RETENTION
Drivable Grass is a permeable, flexible, and plantable pavement system manufactured with grid-reinforced concrete. It is designed for use in areas where a permeable and/or vegetated surface is required. Alternative infills such as pea gravel, bark mulch, or groundcover can be used instead of turfgrass. Examples of successful applications include vehicle parking areas, fire and service vehicle access lanes, stormwater management systems, vegetated swales, boat ramps, driveways, golf cart paths, walkways, and patios. Drivable Grass qualifies for numerous LEED credits.

STORMKLEAR
New StormKlear LiquiFloc treats suspended sediment in construction stormwater and was formulated specifically to treat sediment that will not settle out by gravity alone. LiquiFloc uses a proprietary chitosan formula to coagulate suspended particles when added to untreated stormwater, neutralizing the negative static electrical charge on soil particles and reducing turbidity and phosphorous levels by greater than 90% when used with high-volume efficiency filtration. It is biodegradable, 100% PAM-free, environmentally friendly, and approved by many government agencies. LiquiFloc even has Conditional Use Level Designation with the Washington State Department of Ecology.
