About Arva Greentech
Arva Greentech is an environmental technology company based in Zug, Switzerland, offering products and processes for the environmentally friendly and rapid cleaning and remediation of contaminated soils and surfaces. At its core is the patented superoxidation process Arvox, which decomposes mineral oil hydrocarbons within a short time in an environmentally neutral way without leaving harmful residues; cleaned material can, depending on the substrate, remain in place or be recycled. The applications can be used in-situ and ex-situ, alone or in combination with other decontamination methods, and serve surface cleaning as well as remediation of contaminated sites. Depending on the substrate, cleaning takes 30 to 120 minutes. According to the company, the processes are scalable for large industrial applications as well as for commercial and private customers and applicable worldwide; news posts focus on the MENA/Gulf region. Compared with incineration-based disposal of oil-contaminated waste, CO₂ and greenhouse gas emissions are said to be reduced by up to 75%. The company has also introduced its own analytical standard for assessing oil contamination.

Additional services
Quality
The assessment of oil contamination is carried out according to a specially introduced, company-internal analytical standard, because mineral oil hydrocarbons cannot be fully evaluated using classical ecological test methods.
