On March, 2006 ARS and ETI/Adventus successfully reached a settlement to their ongoing litigation regarding intellectual property rights using zero valent iron in the treatment of groundwater contamination. As the leading organization and pioneer in using ZVI for source treatment of organic contamination of ground water, ARS looks forward to collaborating both on research and commercial applications with the folks at ETI and Adventus. Additionally, the settlement will facilitate the use of ARS’ injection methods for the emplacement of other ADVENTUS chemical/biological products such as Diamende and EHC. A copy of a press release announcing this settlement is available on our website.
