EarthClean Corporation
Innovative and Environmentally Responsible Fire Suppression
EarthClean Corporation is a Minnesota-based start-up company whose mission is to develop and introduce environmentally friendly and innovative technologies to help firefighters perform at a higher level.
Clean Tech Division winner and Grand Prize recipient of the 2010 Minnesota Cup competition as "Minnesota's Top Breakthrough Business Idea", EarthClean Corporation has a clear mission and sees a bright future.
The company's first product, TetraKO™, is a direct response to the growing concern over the toxicity of existing firefighting foams, super absorbent polymer-based fire suppressants, and phosphorus and ammonia dioxide–based retardants. These suppressants and retardants can be harmful to fish, mammals, plants and the watershed.
TetraKO transforms ordinary water into an adhering aqueous gel that can be pumped through standard fire equipment. Among its many benefits are faster fire suppression, less water damage to structures, reduced water use and enhanced firefighter safety.
Unlike all other products in its category, TetraKO employs a patented formula that, when mixed with water, provides an incredibly effective fire suppressant. It has been certified non-toxic and "ready biodegradable", the highest level possible, by an accredited, independent research lab. TetraKO is also certified to be non-toxic to water, fish, plants and mammals by independent research organizations.
