Eliminate Risk and Uncertainty with PlumeStop

PlumeStop® Liquid Activated Carbon™ is a break-through groundwater remediation technology that reduces dissolved phase contaminant plumes in days. Composed of extremely fine particles of activated carbon (1‐2μm) suspended in water through a proprietary dispersion chemistry, PlumeStop flows into the subsurface at low pressure and achieves consistent, reliable distribution – a capability unlike any other form of activated carbon used for groundwater remediation today.

Low-cost Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents

HRC® is an engineered, hydrogen release compound designed specifically for enhanced,
in situ anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated compounds in groundwater or highly saturated soils. HRC enables enhanced anaerobic biodegradation by adding hydrogen (an electron donor) to groundwater and/or soil to increase the number and vitality of indigenous microorganisms able to perform the naturally occurring process of enhanced reductive dechlorination.

Accelerated Treatment of Intermediate Compounds

Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® Plus (BDI Plus) is designed to provide rapid and effective treatment of undesirable anaerobic dechlorination intermediates such as dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), and is a low-cost means of enhancing the anaerobic biodegradation process. Once in place, this microbial consortium accelerates the rate of chlorinated contaminant degradation from parent compounds to intermediates like DCE and VC, completely through to harmless end products such as ethene and ethane. It is highly compatible with a range of electron donors.

Upcoming Webinar

Balancing the Costs of Active Cleanup and Long-Term Stewardship During Remedial Planning

REGENESIS hosted a technical presentation with Jeffrey Carnahan, Executive Vice President for EnviroForensics. Mr. Carnahan’s presentation covers balancing the costs of active cleanup and long-term stewardship (LTS) during remedial planning, including real-world examples of remedial objective decision making involving an LTS component and actual costs. The full recording and PDF of the webinar slides are available here.
