At an active warehouse redevelopment site near the coast in Dorset, UK, a combined 3‑D Microemulsion® (3DME) and S‑MicroZVI® treatment delivered rapid and sustained remediation of high‑concentration trichloroethylene (TCE) in a shallow sand and gravel aquifer.
>99.9% TCE Reduction in Groundwater:
Monitoring over the year following the September 2024 injection confirmed that TCE concentrations at the core validation well declined to non‑detect within six months—well below the UK Environmental Quality Standard (EQS) of 10 μg/L—and have remained suppressed.
Complete Reductive Dechlorination Achieved:
Daughter products (cis‑1,2‑DCE and vinyl chloride) exhibited the expected transient increase followed by sustained decline, while rising ethene concentrations confirmed that complete reductive dechlorination is occurring across the treatment zone.
Rapid, Low‑Disruption Remediation During Construction:
The ISCR–ERD remedy was installed via direct‑push injection across a 450 m² treatment area in just five days, despite the constraints of an active construction site. The approach enabled uninterrupted redevelopment while delivering immediate contaminant destruction and long‑term performance.
