Clean Harbors is the North American leader in providing response services for environmental emergencies of any scale on land or water — from the cleanup and removal of a single mercury bottle to a large -
scale multiphase containment and cleanup of a coastal oil spill.
Research & teaching:
multiphase chemistry in the Earth system, climate and public health, i.e., chemical reactions, mass transport and phase transitions of gases, liquids and solids linking the atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere on molecular to global
scales.
Different chemicals used for the field include inhibitors for
scaling, fouling, corrosion, asphaltene control, formation damage, differential pressures in
multiphase environments which will be met by new synthesis methods including metathesis reactions, bio based feedstocks, new polymer surfactants, living polymers, and nanoparticle.
