PLUMESTOP: PROVEN TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF PFAS IN GROUNDWATER

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. – (Jan. 12, 2021) REGENESIS, the recognized leader in soil and groundwater remediation solutions and vapor intrusion mitigation technologies, is proud to announce a major milestone in the effective treatment of PFAS contaminants using its patented colloidal carbon amendment, PlumeStop®. Scott Wilson, CEO and president of REGENESIS, announced in a recent webinar that PlumeStop has been applied or is planned for application on more than 100 PFAS sites globally and will continue to grow in adoption due to its proven efficacy and acknowledged cost-competitiveness compared to other PFAS treatment approaches.

Proven to Reduce PFAS to Regulatory Clean-up Levels on All Applications Completed

PlumeStop PFAS treatments have proven successful with the target PFAS compounds reduced and maintained below their regulatory clean-up levels on all applications completed to date including industrial manufacturing facilities, Department of Defense sites, U.S. EPA Superfund sites and more. Compared to ex situ PFAS treatment approaches, such as pump and treat, PlumeStop in situ treatments do not generate new waste streams that transfer the liability to landfills or incineration facilities; and PlumeStop project life-cycle costs are a fraction of any other treatment technology available today.

Widely Adopted to Eliminate PFAS Risk

Since the introduction of PlumeStop in 2014, environmental experts have shown great interest in the science behind the innovative technology, which features the unique use of micron-sized carbon particles suspended in water through a proprietary dispersion chemistry. This innovation allows PlumeStop to flow into the subsurface at low pressure and achieve consistent, reliable distribution that is unparalleled in the industry. Already proven as an effective treatment method for groundwater contaminants such as chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons, PlumeStop is now being widely adopted to eliminate the dangers of PFAS.

Ideal for Airports, Industrial Sites and Residential Communities Impacted by PFAS Contaminants

PlumeStop’s micron-scale activated carbon technology is designed to inhibit the spread of contaminant plumes and is the only in situ amendment effectively addressing PFAS risk. It can be applied using low-pressure injection techniques, avoiding the excessive installation, operation and maintenance costs incurred with pump and treat systems. With the ability to remove PFAS and other contaminants rapidly from groundwater, it is ideal for sites like airports, active industrial operations and residential communities where a pump and treat system is either cost-prohibitive or disruptive to infrastructure.

Transforms Groundwater Aquifer into Purifying Filter to Prevent PFAS Migration

PlumeStop involves injecting and coating the subsurface soil grains with one to two micron-sized activated carbon particles, which chemically sorb the PFAS compounds and other organic contaminants from the groundwater as it naturally flows through a treatment zone. Employing a proprietary organic polymer dispersion chemistry that prevents agglomeration, PlumeStop’s activated carbon particles can pass through the smallest soil pores, achieving wide distribution in the subsurface. This treatment process transforms the underlying geology into a purifying filter, preventing the PFAS from migrating further. PlumeStop treatments for PFAS are designed to last for decades with a single application as corroborated through independent, peer-reviewed, third-party studies.

Sustainable, Cost-Effective, Less Disruptive and Faster

Abinash Agrawal, Ph.D., a groundwater and soil remediation professor at Wright State University, was quoted in a recent article acknowledging PlumeStop as “cost-effective, less disruptive and faster than other treatment methods currently available.”

EWG Reports Drinking Water for 200 Million Americans Affected

The Environmental Work Group (EWG), a non-profit, non-partisan organization focused on the environment, reports PFAS contaminants have been found in the drinking water of over 200 million Americans and the issue is one of the environmental challenges the Biden administration is committed to addressing in the new term.

“Our commitment to developing groundbreaking environmental solutions is unparalleled in the industry and we are excited about the impact PlumeStop is having on sites where PFAS poses a risk to communities globally,” explains Wilson. “We expect PlumeStop to continue to grow in demand as community awareness of this pollutant increases and   the regulatory community begins to establish and enforce cleanup standards.”

REGENESIS Announces Ground-Breaking PFAS (PFOA & PFOS) Contaminant Remediation Technology Applied Full-Scale

SAN CLEMENTE, CA – (October 26, 2017) Announcing a new, ground-breaking groundwater remediation technology proven effective at converting contaminated aquifers into purifying filters, eliminating PFOA and PFOS contaminants. Recent site data collected from an industrial site in Eastern Canada where PlumesStop® liquid active carbon ™ was introduced into a PFAS contaminated aquifer has been shown to be at non-detect for over 15 months and counting.  Modeling of the remediation estimates treatment to last decades with one application of the PlumeStop.

Since its introduction in 2014, PlumeStop has revolutionized the environmental remediation industry cleaning up 100’s of sites across the North America and Europe. The innovative liquid carbon amendment effectively eliminates a number of soil and groundwater contaminants like BTEX, TCE, PCE. And now PlumeStop adds PFAS chemicals like PFOA, and PFOS to the growing list of toxic and carcinogenic pollutants that can be cost-effectively treated, addressing threats to water resources in communities in the US and abroad.

Rick McGregor, President of In Situ Remediation Services, LTD, was first to demonstrate this new approach for treating PFAS chemicals using PlumeStop. McGregor designed the application of the amendment to address petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants (PHC) found on an industrial site in Eastern Canada where he also noted a former fire-training facility. Prior to the injection application, and as part of his remedial approach, McGregor included testing for PFAS levels which were confirmed. Once PlumeStop was applied, McGregor began monitoring activities and found that PlumeStop effectively treated the PHC contaminant levels as well as the PFOS and PFOA contaminants, reducing all pollutants to non-detect. Continued monitoring at the site shows levels remaining at non-detect for over 15 months.

To verify the longevity of the treatment approach, McGregor reached out to Dr. Grant Carey, President of Porewater Solutions, an expert in groundwater contaminant fate and transport modeling, NAPL characterization, and environmental forensics to develop a new conceptual modeling tool to confirm the effectiveness of the amendment long-term.

Using field data supplied by McGregor, Carey explored a number of conservative, modelled scenarios which presumed ongoing secondary inputs of PFAS from infiltration, desorption and back-diffusion from the aquifer matrix. Data were modelled for PFOA, the most abundant species detected at the site. Modelling was performed for scenarios assuming PlumeStop capture based on measured concentrations in the aquifer before treatment and under a conservative scenario where concentrations were assumed to be 10X measured concentration. In all cases, the PlumeStop applied to the site was shown to affect PFOA capture lasting for decades, by which time the secondary inputs would be effectively depleted.

Dr. Carey goes on to say, “The nice thing about Rick’s site is that we had one injection event and that was enough to sustain source control for decades or more.” Carey continues, “With Rick’s site we know for sure it works with PFOS and PFOA. We saw multiple monitoring events after the injection of PlumeStop, and we’ve seen non-detect of PFOS and PFOA at every single monitoring well at the site for over 15 months.” (view video here)

The field data supporting effective treatment to eliminate the risk and liability of PFAS compounds has been presented at national and international environmental conferences including the National Groundwater Association’s (NGWA) national conference on emerging contaminants.

This development will be an enormous help to the Department of Defense, airports, water suppliers, municipalities and industry currently struggling with the high cost and uncertain endpoint of operating large above-ground PFAS pumping/treatment systems.

REGENESIS President and CEO, Scott Wilson, believes this breakthrough effectively addresses the crisis facing so many communities’ water resources. Wilson shares, “Since its introduction, PlumeStop has revolutionized the environmental industry – and now with this new data it effectively eliminates risk when applied on PFAS compounds. We are excited with Rick McGregor’s site data and feel certain that PlumeStop will provide a viable solution for communities faced with these hard-to-treat emerging contaminants in their groundwater supplies.”

NGWA’s Kathy Butcher, CMP, director of learning and knowledge shares, “I am very excited about the collaboration with host REGENESIS, the US EPA, and other consulting firms that are committed to this partnership and are among the top experts in the remediation industry by promoting the use of combined remedies.”

REGENESIS, widely known for effective in situ products, such as PlumeStop® and ORC Advanced®, is paving the way for integration of technologies at contaminated sites to maximize treatment efficiency. Its products have been successfully applied to more than 25,000 soil and groundwater cleanup projects throughout the world by leading multi-national environmental consulting firms. The company’s broad range of clients includes Fortune 500 companies, landowners, insurance companies, private manufacturers, municipalities, regulatory agencies and governments.

Scott B. Wilson, CEO and president of REGENESIS, is equally pleased about January’s workshops: “Now more than ever, it is important to address the ongoing, hazardous soil and groundwater issues prevalent today. Joining forces with such well-respected industry authorities, such as the EPA and NGWA, supports our efforts to educate professionals on the latest advances in remediation using a combined technology approach—the workshops will undoubtedly be highly beneficial for those who attend.”

Following a breakfast and Chairman’s Introduction, the workshop will include three sessions throughout the day that include thought leaders from key environmental firms and government agencies. Topics include regulatory considerations, physical principles underpinning integration benefits and adapting to the industry need including a Q&A session.

PlumeStop: First-of-Its-Kind Liquid Activated Carbon Technology Reduces Time to Regulatory Closure

PlumeStop: First-of-Its-Kind Liquid Activated Carbon Technology Reduces Time to Regulatory Closure

Leading, Technology-Based Environmental Remediation Company Reports Remarkable Results for Treating Contaminated Soil and Groundwater

SAN CLEMENTE, CALIF., September 21, 2015 — REGENESIS®, a global leader in advanced environmental remediation technologies, is pleased to report that after the 2014 commercial launch of its groundbreaking product, PlumeStop® Liquid Activated Carbon™ (LAC), response to the first-of-its-kind product has been met with resounding success and great promise for the future of environmental remediation. Developed to stop migrating groundwater contaminant plumes and designed to meet stringent groundwater standards at contaminated sites, the eco-friendly substrate quickly and effectively reduces harmful chemicals and toxins, while enhancing or accelerating microbial-driven biodegradation processes. Proven effective on a wide range of contaminants, PlumeStop is being applied by engineering and environmental consulting firms across the U.S. and Europe to protect human health from groundwater contaminants and to prevent contaminant migration across property boundaries.

From reducing chlorinated solvents at industrial dry cleaning sites to petroleum clean-up projects, PlumeStop is gaining accolades for its remarkable outcomes by both industry experts and clients who have come to rely on REGENESIS for its world-class remediation products and services.

“As a company that strives to eliminate environmental risks and liabilities economically and expediently, we relied on PlumeStop from REGENESIS to reduce high contamination levels at a challenging remediation site,” says Matthew Otto, division manager for Apex Companies, LLC, a leading energy, water resources and environmental consulting and engineering firm. “PlumeStop not only provided exceptional results but also enabled us to reach target levels in a fraction of the time it would have taken with any other remedial solutions.”

PlumeStop is composed of very fine particles of activated carbon (1-2μm) suspended in water through the use of unique organic polymer dispersion chemistry. Once in the subsurface, the material behaves as a colloidal biomatrix binding to the aquifer matrix, rapidly removing contaminants from groundwater and expediting permanent contaminant biodegradation.

“There has never been anything like PlumeStop’s technology,” says REGENESIS president and CEO Scott Wilson. “Field results have been beyond everyone’s expectations including regulatory agencies. Contaminated groundwater sites treated with PlumeStop are being cleaned up to regulatory standards in three to six months’ time rather than years.”
