Cost-effective In Situ Remediation of Chlorinated Solvents in Svenljunga, Sweden
In situ remediation of groundwater impacted with Trichloroethylene (TCE) was completed at a former fur factory in Svenljunga, Sweden, as it had been determined that excavation or thermal treatment would have been too expensive. A targeted application of 3-D Microemulsion® was performed using direct push technology (DPT) to complete the injections. Validation sampling showed that the concentrations in the groundwater and soils had been reduced by approx. 95%, to well below the remedial targets.

About the Remediation Technology
3-D Microemulsion (3DME) is an engineered electron-donor emulsion that offers a steady and long-term source of staged-release hydrogen (in the order of 4 to 5 years from a single application) to enhance the reductive dechlorination (ERD) of chlorinated compounds. It has been optimized to distribute widely upon injection, allowing for high volume applications, reducing the number of injection points and events required onsite.
