Proven, Rapid, and Cost-Effective Petroleum Spill Treatment
The case studies included in this multi-site review include sites where one of Canada’s largest and most experienced environmental remediation services companies InSitu Remediation Services Ltd. (IRSL) effectively used PetroFix in achieving site closures across Canada. IRSL relies on the technology as an effective, low-cost, and more sustainable remedial solution. As one of the first to apply PetroFix in the field, IRSL has deployed the PetroFix technology to remediate a large number of TPH-contaminated properties, with land use ranging from gasoline stations and commercial properties to residential homes and a national park lodge. PetroFix has quickly eliminated TPH impacts in groundwater at these sites and prevented contaminant movement away from impacted properties, thus eliminating potential human exposure to TPH and protecting pristine, ecologically sensitive surface waters.
Case study highlights:
- Nine sites IRSL treated with PetroFix have already achieved closure, most within one year after a single injection event
- PetroFix chosen at UNESCO World Heritage site due to sensitivity of a pristine water body at the site, offering a less disruptive approach to address TPH
- Site remedies have led to significant cost savings for IRSL’s clients and demonstrated PetroFix as a viable means for treating TPH-contaminated sites in Canada
