Client Spotlight: Erin Huntley, Senior Technical Manager and Technical Principal at WSP

For Erin Huntley, Senior Technical Manager/Technical Principal at WSP, combining her experience in field geology with an interest in project management allows her to enjoy a diverse, satisfying role in her efforts to help sustain our environment. With a background that includes geochemistry, environmental health & safety, and other areas of earth science, Ms. Huntley is able to identify and assist other team members in bringing projects to successful closure. “I started out as a field geologist and gained experience in hydrogeology, geology, and geochemistry,” shares Huntley. “I worked my way up through various positions while at WSP. Having had that experience really helped as a project manager because I can understand what can and will go wrong in the field, and how to adapt and recover.” In her current role with WSP, where she has worked since 2000, Huntley is fortunate to be involved in several aspects of environmental remediation.

Turn Polluted Aquifers into Purifying Filters with PlumeStop

Contaminant retardation is now a controllable variable with PlumeStop. PlumeStop Liquid Activated Carbon is a break-through groundwater remediation technology that reduces dissolved phase contaminant plumes in days. Composed of extremely fine particles of activated carbon (1‐2μm) suspended in water through a proprietary dispersion chemistry, PlumeStop flows into the subsurface at low pressure and achieves wide-spread distribution – a capability unlike any other form of activated carbon used for groundwater remediation today.

Low-cost Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents

HRC® is an engineered, hydrogen release compound designed specifically for enhanced, in situ anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated compounds in groundwater or highly saturated soils. HRC enables enhanced anaerobic biodegradation by adding hydrogen (an electron donor) to groundwater and/or soil to increase the number and vitality of indigenous microorganisms able to perform the naturally occurring process of enhanced reductive dechlorination. Due to its capability of being applied via permanent wells, direct-push, and excavations, this reagent allows for clean, low-cost, non-disruptive application.

Accelerated Treatment of Intermediate Compounds

Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® Plus (BDI Plus) is designed to provide an effective treatment of undesirable anaerobic dechlorination intermediates such as dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), and is a low-cost means of enhancing the anaerobic biodegradation process. Once in place, this microbial consortium accelerates the rate of chlorinated contaminant degradation from parent compounds to intermediates like DCE and VC and completely through to harmless end products such as ethene and ethane. It is highly compatible with a range of electron donors.

PlumeStop and AquaZVI Webinar Recordings Now Available

How to Select and Use Molecular Biological Tools (MBTs)

REGENESIS hosted a technical presentation with special guest speaker Dora Taggart, President of Microbial Insights, Inc. Her presentation includes a series of case studies that demonstrate how molecular biological tools (MBTs) such as QuantArray® and compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA) provided actionable data that directly impacted site management decisions. The full recording is available here.

Case Study: Practical Strategies to Demonstrate Remediation Success with PlumeStop and AquaZVI

REGENESIS hosted a technical presentation with special guest speaker Matthew Burns, Technical Fellow and the U.S. Contaminated Land National Service Line Director for WSP. He presented PlumeStop and colloidal ZVI (cZVI) treatment case studies and practical analytical strategies used to demonstrate destructive treatment of groundwater contaminants. Joining Mr. Dean was Maureen Dooley, Director of Strategic Projects at REGENESIS. The full recording is available here.

Special PFAS Events with REGENESIS CEO Scott Wilson

Eliminating Risk of PFAS Contamination: Low Cost In Situ Remediation with Colloidal Activated Carbon

NGWA PFAS in Groundwater Workshop
August 14th – 15th

While traditional pump and treat methods have in the past been accepted as the status quo for addressing PFAS contamination in groundwater, reliable in situ treatment of PFAS is now possible with PlumeStop, eliminating risk at a fraction of the cost. At the upcoming NGWA event in Minnesota, PFAS in Groundwater Workshop: The Professional’s Challenge, Scott Wilson, President & CEO of REGENESIS, will present a case study of this breakthrough treatment technology being proven effective in the field, where PFOS and PFOA were reduced to below USEPA advisory levels at a former manufacturing site. Mr. Wilson will discuss these field results as well as predictive modeling data that indicate the longevity of in situ colloidal carbon treatment for PFAS is on the order of multiple decades before reapplication is required. This workshop takes place August 14th – 15th in St. Paul, Minnesota.
