Proven, Rapid, and Cost-Effective Petroleum Spill Treatment

Case study highlights:

• Nine sites IRSL treated with PetroFix have already achieved closure, most within one year after a single injection event
• PetroFix chosen at UNESCO World Heritage site due to sensitivity of a pristine water body at the site, offering a less disruptive approach to address PHCs
• IRSL proficiently uses the PetroFix Design Assistant to develop and store its own PetroFix remedial application designs
• Site remedies have led to significant cost savings for IRSL’s clients and demonstrated PetroFix as a viable means for treating PHC-contaminated sites in Canada

The case studies included in this multi-site review include sites where one of Canada’s largest and most experienced environmental remediation services companies InSitu Remediation Services Ltd. (IRSL) effectively used PetroFix in achieving site closures across Canada. InSitu Remediation Services Ltd. (IRSL), one of Canada’s largest and most experienced environmental remediation services companies, uses PetroFix to mitigate sites throughout Canada impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), relying on the technology as an effective, low-cost, and more sustainable remedial solution. As one of the first to apply PetroFix in the field, IRSL has deployed the PetroFix technology to remediate a large number of PHC-contaminated properties, with land use ranging from gasoline stations and commercial properties to residential homes and a national park lodge. PetroFix has quickly eliminated PHC impacts in groundwater at these sites and prevented contaminant movement away from impacted properties, thus eliminating potential human exposure to PHCs and protecting pristine, ecologically sensitive surface waters.
