2017 Environmental and Remediation Conferences

RemTec – Denver CO March 7-9, 2017
AxNano attended the RemTEC Summit on Denver CO March 7-9, 2017. RemTEC delivers a truly unique platform focused on advancing the environmental science and remediation industry. It is the place where you can hear essential sources of information on technology, application and policy impacting the restoration of contaminated sites from the world's leading experts within the academic, regulatory and environmental-consulting communities. AxNano’s Principal Investigator, Alexis Carpenter, presented a poster presentation entitled “Next Generation Controlled Release Technology for In Situ Chemical Oxidation Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater”. During their time at RemTEC, Dr. Carpenter and AxNano CEO Charlie Gause met remediation material suppliers including Carus Corporation, Regenesis, Peroxychem, EOS; consulting firms including Haley-Aldrich, GeoSyntec, CDM Smith; state and federal regulatory agencies and many leading experts in the field. Dr. Carpenter was able to reconnect with a colleague from her Duke University days, Anh Pham who is now Assistant Professor in Environmental Engineering at Carleton University.

Battelle Bioremediation Conference, Miami FL, May 22-25,2017
AxNano CEO Charlie Gause and Principal Investigator Alexis Wells Carpenter attended the Fourth International Symposium on Bioremediation and Sustainable Environmental Technologies in Miami FL May 22-25th.  As part of their I-Corps @ NIH Customer Discovery process, Charlie and Alexis were able to again meet with remediation material supplies, environmental consultants, drillers and applicators, and state and federal regulatory representatives. In addition to learning from key players in the remediation ecosystem and hearing the stories of how other remediation technologies gained market uptake, Charlie and Alexis used the opportunity to investigate partnerships for pilot testing the AxNano technologies in the field, which are the key milestones for Phase 2 contracts.
 
ACS 254th National Meeting, Washington DC August 20-24th, 2017
AxNano was invited to present at the 254th National ACS Meeting in the Special Session titled: “Economic Impact of Environmental Health Research: A Case Study of the NIEHS Superfund Research Program” Dr. Carpenter will give an oral presentation titled “RemRxTM CRP: Controlled release polymeric systems for in situ chemical oxidation of contaminated waters” where she will present data indicating anticipated economic impact of AxNano’s Superfund Research Program-supported technology in terms of: decreased cost of environmental clean-up, decreased liability to responsible parties, reclamation and regeneration of site for reuse, job creation and the global economic benefits of providing clean water.
