First Application of PetroFix at Petrol Filling Station in Sweden

Background

RGS Nordic was asked by Circle K to remediate groundwater contaminated with gasoline at an active Petrol Filling Station (PFS) in Nykvarn, Sweden. During the site investigation, petroleum hydrocarbon contamination was identified within the fill material around the underground storage tank (UST) farm. RGS Nordic was required to deliver a remediation strategy which posed minimal disruption to the commercial operations of the PFS. The chosen remediation strategy combined targeted excavation, in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), in situ sorption and enhanced aerobic biodegradation using a range of complementary technologies: RegenOx®, ORC-Advanced® and PetroFix™. A six-month groundwater validation program was completed after application. The analysis of the groundwater verified that all the remedial targets set for the site were achieved, yielding a 98% reduction in contaminant concentrations.
