Achieve Significant Contaminant Mass Removal
 PetroCleanze™ is a customized formulation of the widely used RegenOx in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technology. This two-part reagent contains purposefully enhanced, detergent-like properties which significantly increase the desorption rates of hydrocarbons bound in saturated soils. Once the hydrocarbons are liberated into the dissolved-phase, they are more readily available for removal using a range of enhanced recovery techniques. PetroCleanze is designed to increase the viability and efficiency of enhanced recovery techniques such as dual-phase extraction, vacuum enhanced extraction and pump and treat systems.

Upcoming Webinar on Challenges of PFAS in Groundwater
In this webinar we are pleased to have a special guest presentation by Steve Sliver, Executive Director of the Waste Management and Radiological Protection Division of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. Mr. Sliver will discuss challenges of PFAS in groundwater and lessons learned from Michigan’s survey of community water. Mr. Sliver will be joined by Patricia Byrnes Lyman, Investigation/Remediation Manager at Michigan Dept of Military and Veterans Affairs, and Ryan Moore, Great Lakes District Manager at REGENESIS. This live webinar starts Wednesday, March 20th, 2019 at 11am pacific/2pm eastern.
About the Presenters:
 Steve Sliver
Executive Director of the Waste Management and Radiological Protection Division, Michigan DEQ
Steve Sliver was named the Executive Director of the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) in February 2019. A 32-year veteran of state government, he is the former assistant director of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality’s (MDEQ’s) Waste Management and Radiological Protection Division. He was assigned to MPART in April 2018 where he served as MDEQ’s senior representative within the organization. In that role, Sliver led several major MPART initiatives, including the recently completed sampling of public water systems and schools throughout the state for PFAS. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from Michigan Technological University in 1985.
Patricia Byrnes Lyman, MS
Investigation/Remediation Manager, Michigan Department of Military Veterans Affairs
Patricia Byrnes Lyman has over 25 years’ experience in the environmental industry. Ms. Lyman has worked as an Environmental Engineer for multiple large, international environmental consulting firms; contributing technical input on commercial, military, and industrial facility projects throughout New England and Michigan. Her experience includes complex hazardous waste site investigations and remediation activities involving contaminants of concern such as PCE, TCE, PAHs, petroleum constituents, munitions, and PFAS. Prior to her current role as Investigation/Remediation Manager for the Michigan Department of Military Veterans Affairs (MDMVA), Ms. Lyman most recently worked as a Plant and Systems Engineer managing an anaerobic digester and industrial wastewater pre-treatment facility. In her position with the MDMVA, Ms. Lyman is the PFAS Lead and manages environmental investigation and remediation efforts across the state at Michigan Army National Guard facilities.
Ryan Moore
Great Lakes District Manager, REGENESIS
Ryan Moore has 18 years of experience as an environmental project manager and laboratory account executive relating to multimedia contamination sites throughout the U.S. His experience focused on site investigations of soil and groundwater contamination, corrective action evaluations, operation & maintenance of remediation systems, large soil removal remedial projects, in situ groundwater and soil treatment, vapor intrusion assessments, and environmental laboratory operations such as QA/QC evaluations, data interpretations, and business development. Ryan holds a B.S. of Environmental Studies from Manchester College, North Manchester, IN.
Vapor Mitigation Webinar Recording Now Available
In this webinar we were pleased to have a special presentation by vapor intrusion expert, James Fineis P.G., President and Owner of Total Vapor Solutions. During this webinar presentation, Mr. Fineis discussed large-scale vapor intrusion projects, with a focus on challenges and the necessity of collecting consistent, high-quality data. Mr. Fineis was joined by Jordan Knight, Southeast District Manager at Land Science, who discussed technologies to mitigate vapor intrusion.The full recording is available here.

, and REGENESIS collaborated to create a design that would successfully remediate the persistent groundwater contamination and free-phase product.</p>
<p style=)
REGENESIS proposed a design including two horizontal wells which would administer a total of four injection events, with enhanced fluid recovery (EFR) events being performed before and after each injection. The existing vertical wells on site and horizontal wells would be used for the EFR activities. The in situ chemical oxidation technology, PetroCleanze™, would be administered to desorb the hydrocarbons and allow for a successful enhanced recovery. The first injection event was performed in 2018, with three additional injection events planned for 2019. Download the case study to learn more about this innovative in situ application.
