Pneumatic Fracturing, Inc. (PFI) is a full service environmental remediation firm dedicated to complete and satisfactory remediation of any sites that present an unusual challenge.

PFI also provides design and consulting services for subsurface investigations, evaluation of underground storage tank sites, compliance requirements, in addition to oversight and project management. PFI, a woman-owned business (WBE), was founded in October 2000 by Ms. Deborah L. Schnell, a graduate engineer of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). While at NJIT, she studied under one of the original patent holders, Dr. John Schuring. PFI is a license holder in good standing recognized by the University with full authorization and support to practice the patented technologies. Ms. Schnell was also employed as an environmental engineering consultant where she focused her efforts on marketing and development of the technology for commercial application. It was clear to Ms. Schnell upon graduation from NJIT that her knowledge and training would open unlimited opportunities in the environmental field. The aforementioned coupled with extensive experience in remediation, innovative technologies and management skills gained as a consultant provided an excellent opportunity for Pneumatic Fracturing, Inc. to introduce a cost-effective cutting edge technology, focusing on working in conjunction with engineering and consulting firms. Pneumatic Fracturing, Inc. considers its comprehensive intellectual property portfolio essential to the company's future growth through internal development, licensing, and future merger and acquisition activities. PFI has established teaming arrangements and collaborative relationships with other specialty firms to provide clients a greater array of services which in turn create cost-effective solutions.
