Products Overview » Chemical Oxidation

Chemical oxidation is a process that involves the injection of reactive chemical oxidants into groundwater and/or soil for the primary purpose of rapid contaminant destruction. Also known as In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO), this process is most often deployed at sites with high contaminant concentrations in the source area and in the downgradient plume(s). Chemical oxidation of high concentration areas is often part of a multi-step remediation approach that paves the way for more biologically mediated, less costly approaches such as accelerated bioremediation or monitored natural attenuation.

Products

RegenOx™ - is a product designed specifically for the in-situ and/or ex-situ chemical oxidation of a broad range of contaminants including both chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons. RegenOx delivers rapid and effective contaminant mass reduction using a solid alkaline oxidant that is activated to a very high performance level through the action of a unique catalytic complex. Once in the subsurface, the combined product produces an effective oxidation reaction comparable to that of Fenton's Reagent without a violent exothermic reaction. Strategies employing multiple RegenOx injections coupled with follow-on accelerated bioremediation can be used to cost-effectively treat highly contaminated sites to regulatory closure. RegenOx has been rigorously tested in both the laboratory and the field on petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH, BTEX, MTBE, etc), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (naphthalene, phenanthrene, etc) and chlorinated hydrocarbons (PCE, TCE, TCA, etc).
