Video | PlumeStop Cost-Effectively Treats CVOCs at Secure Government Facility

A large, secure government facility in the Mid-Atlantic region was designated a Superfund site under CERCLA. The high-security area had been used as a salvage yard where activities requiring cleaning solvents, among other volatile materials, had leached into the groundwater, creating a large plume in the sandy geology. Amentum, a leading American government and commercial services contractor, is the responsible party’s contractor and has worked with the client at this location for years, providing oversight and management of their contracting partners throughout this and other environmental remediation projects. A remedial approach was designed to reduce and degrade the CVOC contaminants while protecting against the groundwater plume’s migration beyond the site’s boundaries.

Featured Video | How Colloidal Activated Carbon Eliminates PFAS Risk and Liability at a Low Cost

PlumeStop colloidal activated carbon utilizes activated carbon finely milled to <2µm (the size of a red blood cell) and suspended in a colloidal fluid to be injected under low pressure into the subsurface. The carbon particles disperse and diffuse, and then adhere to the surface of soil particles, converting contaminated aquifers into purifying filters. The PFAS contamination present in the groundwater is tightly adsorbed onto the PlumeStop in the subsurface, removing it from the groundwater and eliminating the risk to downgradient receptors.

Featured Research Article – Top Groundwater Researchers Highlight 17 Commercial Field Projects Where PlumeStop Successfully Treats PFAS

Top groundwater researchers in the field of groundwater contaminant fate and transport recently published a REMEDIATION Journal article entitled Longevity of colloidal activated carbon for in situ PFAS remediation at AFFF-contaminated airport sites by Carey et al. The article highlights the application of PlumeStop colloidal activated carbon (CAC) at 17 commercial field projects to effectively treat PFAS in situ. The authors found that the vast majority of PFAS at airport sites are PFOS and PFHxS. This is noteworthy as these contaminants are preferentially sorbed to activated carbon when compared to the polyfluorinated carboxylic acid contaminants (i.e. PFOA) of similar chain length. The article also notes that the use of CAC in situ to treat PFAS is expected to have substantially greater treatment longevity compared to ex situ activated carbon use.

Video: Large Plume Cost-Effectively Remediated at Former Cannery Site

In this video environmental consulting and engineering firm Patriot Engineering collaborated with REGENESIS to effectively treat CVOCs at a former cannery site in Indiana. The goal at this site was to remediate the chlorinated solvents and eliminate risk, limiting offsite mitigation and bringing contaminants down to Indiana Department of Environmental Management tap water standards. Due to the large size of the plume, cost was a chief concern. After reviewing a range of treatment options, including pump and treat, air sparging with soil vapor extraction, and ISCO combined with ERD, Patriot selected a combined remedial approach from REGENESIS using PlumeStop, S-MicroZVI and 3DME in a sequence of permeable reactive barriers to strongly inhibit plume migration while enhancing biotic and abiotic degradation of the targeted contaminants.

Webinar Recording: PFAS Regulatory State of the Union 

Article: PFAS Are Everywhere. Now What?

This article written by Steve Barnes of REGENESIS Remediation Services (RRS) and published in Water & Wastes Digest discusses what can be done about PFAS contamination now that it is likely to remain ubiquitous. The immense scope of the PFAS problem demands remedies for high-priority contaminated sites that are effective, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable. Colloidal activated carbon (CAC) treatments have demonstrated years of effectiveness in the field, including the world’s first in situ PFAS treatment achieving 100% PFAS removal (i.e., from several thousand parts per trillion to non-detect levels) for more than six years thus far.

Case Study: Cleanup Goals Met Post PetroFix Application 

Employee Spotlight: Will Clogan, RRS East Region Project Manager

Ask Will Clogan, REGENESIS Remediation Services (RRS) East Region Project Manager II, what he values most in his work and you will likely get a quick response about the importance of teamwork. That’s because there are numerous facets of his work where he routinely relies on other RRS staff to assist in making sure projects have successful outcomes. With such a large geographical territory and the responsibility of numerous projects at a given time, it is typical for Clogan to encounter a range of challenges. One, in particular, involved a site that called for installing a PRB in weathered bedrock with a large vertical interval. Naturally, teamwork played a key role in the outcome. He shares, “This particular site posed many challenges with the installation of wells and formation acceptance. Every section of the PRB threw a new challenge. RRS field staff, REGENESIS technical support, and our client collaborated daily to overcome the challenges. Eventually, the collective support and creativity allowed the team to overcome the challenges and install the PRB.”
