Remedial Treatment

The combined approach of 3DMe and HRC Primer utilises the best features of Regenesis’ suite of technologies for enhanced reductive dechlorination. HRC Primer penetrates the formation quickly and with its short hydrogen release profile rapidly exhausts competing electron acceptors and promotes strong anaerobic groundwater conditions. 3DMe, with its three stage electron donor profile, provides a controlled release of hydrogen for up to 5 years. In addition, the self-distributing nature of 3DMe is perfectly suited to a permeable formation to allow wider injection spacing and corresponding lower injection costs.

What’s Special?

  • Delineation of the source and wider plume allowed focussed contaminant treatment
  • The injection works, completed by REGENESIS between the demolition and construction phases, minimised impact on the site redevelopment programme
