First-ever co-injectable, solid electron donor to treat chlorinated solvents
Designed to be compatible and co-injectable with PlumeStop
AquiFix is an innovative electron donor designed to be compatible and co-injectable with PlumeStop. AquiFix is formulated with both fast-acting and long-lasting, slow-releasing electron donor materials to drive the biodegradation of chlorinated solvents in the groundwater. This formulation includes a solid phase source of fatty acids and beneficial nutrients to support the dechlorinating microbe population.
What is it?
AquiFix is an innovative solid electron donor designed to be compatible and co-injectable with PlumeStop.
How it works?
AquiFix is easily injected with standard equipment, disperses widely, and binds to the aquifer matrix. Its organic component quickly creates reducing conditions, while the solids slowly release acids and hydrogen, sustaining anaerobic bioremediation for over five years.
Is it right for my site?
AquiFix is best used with PlumeStop to sustain enhanced reductive dichlorination for long-lasting treatments.

Pilot study: demonstration of a first-ever novel, solid, co-injectable donor
A central Michigan facility’s historic PCE/TCE and petroleum spills created a high-flux CVOC plume beneath a neighborhood. Groundwater flows 1–10 ft/day through a coarse sand and gravel esker. AquiFix effectively treated low- to moderate-flux areas, with sustained TOC supporting continued bioremediation of CVOCs entering the barrier.
