Atomized Liquid Injection

Liquid Atomization Injection is a very effective method for injecting liquids uniformly
within all types of geology. In addition, injection radii of influence are considerably
greater than that acheivable using conventional hydraulic injection. LAI relies upon
the premise that it is more effective to inject gases or "aerosols" into the subsurface
than it is to inject an incompressible liquid into the subsurface.

Material being atomized by Nitrogen
When adapting our systems for liquid injection, the liquid is introduced into a high flow, high-velocity
gas stream. he liquid is thereby atomized into an aerosol with characteristics more closely
resembling that of a gas instead of an incompressible fluid.
he pictures below demonstrate how liquid becomes atomized and is readily injectable into the
subsurface. !iquids, including bio-innoculum, nutrient solutions, engineered microbes, redo"
compounds, hydrogen pero"ide, acids and liquid o"idants, such as potassium permanganate
#$Mn%&' can be atomized and delivered into the subsurface. (ven low viscosity fluids such as
vegetable oils and sugars can be atomized in our process. When applied in low permeability
formations, the atomized liquid is introduced in conjunction with the )neumatic *racturing while the
fracture networ+ is dilated. his procedure ensures effective dispersion throughout the fracture
networ+. When applied in higher permeability material that is not fracturable, the atomized material
is mi"ed within the soil matri".

he pair of photographs above shows a comparison of a conventional hydraulic injection verses
liquid atomized injection. ,t is important to note that the liquid feed rate remained constant in both
processes.
