AquiFix is the first ever solid, colloidal electron donor designed to be compatible and co-injectable with PlumeStop. Co-application of AquiFix with other colloidal in situ remediation technologies from REGENESIS results in less time spent on field applications. It is formulated with both fast-acting as well as long-lasting, slow releasing electron donor materials to drive the biodegradation of chlorinated solvents present in the groundwater.

FluxTracers are easy-to-use devices that vertically delineate contaminant mass flux and groundwater velocity within existing monitoring wells to aid in site characterization and remedial designs. Oftentimes 90% of contaminant mass is moving through 10% of the aquifer. FluxTracers allow remediation practitioners to identify contaminant-impacted zones beyond a well interval and more precisely estimate the longevity of permeable reactive barriers.

Recently, WDC-News, a Washington, DC-based broadcast channel reported on the risk of PFAS in soil and groundwater, and why ineffective use of pump and treat methods is costly and exposes greater risk to the public. Colloidal Activated Carbon (CAC) technologies are proven to reduce PFAS leachability and mobility effectively and are key to minimizing the environmental risk posed by PFAS.

Two airports located in the UK have undergone successful PFAS treatment incorporating patented PlumeStop, a colloidal activated carbon technology proven to eliminate PFAS risk. The remediation efforts enabled the redevelopment to move forward. The proven and effective approach saved the clients 65% in costs as compared to pump and treat while also avoiding the need for any disposal of PFAS waste. Recently the projects were featured in the Environment & Sustainability section of Momberger Airport Information. The article further outlined the green, sustainable approach and detailed how it lowered greenhouse gas emissions by a whopping 98% while quickly reducing PFAS concentrations to below detection limits at both sites.

PlumeStop colloidal activated carbon is the most promising technology at scale for intercepting PFAS at industrial sites, airports, and military bases. An article published in Triple Pundit delves into the pressing need to halt PFAS migration in groundwater and offers a comprehensive overview of how PlumeStop works to effectively adsorb and remove these contaminants. In the battle to get PFAS out of the environment’s water cycle, colloidal activated carbon solutions from REGENESIS are leading the charge.

In this webinar we were pleased to have special guest speaker, Taryn McKnight, PFAS Practice Leader for Eurofins Environment Testing. Her presentation discussed regulatory actions at both the federal and state levels to address PFAS contamination. The complete recording is now available.
