PetroFix Applied at Former Buxton Naval Auxiliary Air Station to Treat Hydrocarbon Contaminants

This video explains the in situ remediation of hydrocarbon contaminants using PetroFix Remedial Fluid at former Buxton Naval Auxiliary Air Station. Due to contaminant level exceedances, the responsible party elected to pursue additional remediation efforts beyond monitored natural attenuation. After thoroughly evaluating remedial options, they selected PetroFix micron-scale liquid carbon amendment to capture and biodegrade the petroleum contaminants. 6,000 pounds of PetroFix were applied using direct push injection at 86 points.  In addition to its ability to distribute effectively through the subsurface and reach target treatment zones, PetroFix was selected because it was the most cost-effective and least disruptive remedial approach available for the site.

Apply Activated Carbon Under Low Pressure to Treat Petroleum Hydrocarbons

PetroFix is an activated carbon remediation technology that is easily injected in situ under low pressure, distributes in the subsurface without fracturing, and includes electron acceptors to stimulate biodegradation of petroleum contaminants in soil and groundwater. This cost-effective technology is designed to remediate petroleum spills and provide immediate results for gas station and UST sites. It works with the PetroFix Design Assistant™, an online design tool that enables users to individually tailor their site designs and self-apply PetroFix.

Third Party Research Article – Six Studies on the In Situ Treatment of PFAS in Groundwater

This article published in Wiley’s Remediation Journal reviews six pilot-scale in situ field studies of an unconfined sand aquifer impacted by both petroleum hydrocarbons and PFAS to determine if a variety of reagents could be used to attenuate the dissolved PFAS. The reagents were injected using direct push technology, and consisted of two chemical oxidants and four adsorbents. Performance results gathered downgradient of six permeable reactive zones 18-months post application are provided.

eBook Provides Analysis of Effectiveness of In-Situ Permeable Reactive Barriers

I-PRBs are permeable treatment zones designed to passively intercept and treat contaminated groundwater. They are called permeable because, unlike traditional barriers such as sheet piling (i.e. Waterloo Barriers) slurry walls (i.e. cement and bentonite), they allow water to flow through while treating dissolved phase contaminants. Download the ebook to learn how environmental professionals utilize I-PRBs to reach treatment targets at contaminated groundwater sites.
