Update Coming Soon!

Regenesis products have been used to effectively treat a broad range of groundwater contaminants from petroleum hydrocarbons like BTEX and MTBE to chlorinated solvents, pesticides and now metals. Listed below is a description of contaminant types and an indication of which Regenesis product is recommended and its effectiveness rating. Regenesis encourages you to contact us directly to discuss the treatability of your contaminant of concern, and the specifics of product application.

RATING SCALE:
O = Oxygen Release Compound (ORC®) and/or Advanced Oxygen Release Compound (ORC Advanced®)
H = Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®), Advanced Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC Advanced™) or Extended Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC-X®)
R = RegenOx™
M = Metals Remediation Compound (MRC®) (due to the complexities of metals geochemistry Regenesis recommends an MRC pilot test for all metals except chromium).
B = Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® (use of this bioaugmentation culture may be stand alone or in conjunction with other Regenesis products).
P = PM-1
