The Regenesis Remediation Services (RRS) injection support trailer with Lambeau Field in the backdrop
Regenesis Remediation Services (RRS) recently completed an in situ remediation project at a site adjacent to Lambeau Field, home of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers. The environmental cleanup effort was focused on chlorinated solvent contamination in groundwater which resulted from operations at a former auto repair facility and accompanying parts degreasing processes.
Chlorinated solvents such as perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are particularly effective at removing organics such as oil, grease and dirt from metal surfaces. Unfortunately, spills and the improper handling/disposal of chlorinated solvents can pose a threat to human health due to resulting groundwater and soil contamination. At this site in particular, a relatively old chlorinated solvent release resulted in groundwater contamination leading to an exceedance of the state regulatory Preventive Action Limit (PAL). The experienced application team at RRS was contracted to treat the source area through the application of two proven and cost-effective in situ remediation technologies, 3-D Microemulsion®, an injectable electron donor and Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® PLUS, a specialized bioaugmentation culture. These technologies are designed to stimulate naturally occurring biological communities which in turn anaerobically degrade problematic chlorinated solvents.
At this site RRS teamed with a local direct-push contractor to apply 3D Microemulsion and BDI Plus into a silty-clay subsurface from 7’ to 15’ below ground surface. This in situ remediation project was approved and permitted by the State of Wisconsin, Department of Natural Resources. In the photo you can see the custom RRS injection trailer which houses specialized equipment used for mixing, batching and applying a range of Regenesis’ remediation amendments.

Contaminated site remediation professionals will gather at the Florida Remediation Conference in Fort Lauderdale to discuss soil and groundwater cleanup efforts in Southern Florida. On Thursday, May 9th, Drew Baird, East Region Manager for REGENESIS, will give an insightful platform presentation on Post-Active Remediation Monitoring (PARM). The formal title of the talk is Can we PARM Yet? Groundwater Quality after Remediation at Multiple Sites in Florida.
Presentation overview:
In-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and enhanced aerobic bioremediation (EAB) are proven, cost-effective, and widely-applied methods for contaminant mass depletion, plume stabilization, and site closure. A common challenge on projects where ISCO and EAB have been employed is the transition from active remediation to Post-Active Remediation Monitoring (PARM), as entry into PARM can be delayed due to Florida DEP guidance on groundwater monitoring. Various monitoring parameters (DO, ORP, pH, among others) are important for determining the distribution and/or longevity of ISCO and EAB amendments and are therefore critical interpreting treatment performance. Other parameters (TDS and other inorganics) may be indicators of distribution but more often measure the effects of the applied chemicals on groundwater quality, and many have state/federal limits in drinking water. There is some overlap between remediation performance parameters and groundwater quality parameters, but current Florida DEP guidance does not differentiate between remediation performance parameters and ground water quality parameters. The lack of differentiation directly affects transition into PARM. This presentation will evaluate groundwater quality data from sites where ISCO and/or EAB have been employed to treat PHCs in Florida and to clarify the role of various constituents in ISCO/EAB processes. Site examples include a former roadside spill in Broward County, Citrus County, and Miami-Dade County. At all three sites, entry into PARM was delayed due to the presence of various parameters that have little, if any, bearing on active remediation. Many of these parameters are indicators of residual presence of injected fluids but do not indicate that the active components – i.e., those product constituents responsible for hydrocarbon treatment – remained within the Zone of Discharge.

Check out our new white paper detailing the latest advancement in persulfate-based in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technology. This 16-page technical document explains the science behind PersulfOx® (catalyzed persulfate).
White Paper Overview:
Over the past decade, little has been accomplished toward improving the efficacy, cost effectiveness or occupational safety related to the use of persulfate oxidation chemistry for environmental remediation. Recently, however, a significant development has emerged in the form of a new, all-in-one persulfate-based product that employs advanced activation chemistry.
This white paper provides the remediation professional with key information on the following:
- A brief discussion of oxidation technologies employed in environmental remediation today
- Overview of persulfate chemistry and the different methods employed to activate it
- New catalyzed persulfate with built-in, dual activation chemistry
- The effectiveness of PersulfOx at degrading organic contaminants in situ
- Comparative studies and field performance

In 2007, Katmai National Park personnel discovered hydrocarbon contamination near the subsurface of Naknek Lake while acquiring sand to replace a septic system. According to the National Park Service (NPS), from 1975 to 1993, the NPS made deliveries of diesel fuel to this area and filled fuel tanks by way of a fill port. The diesel contamination was likely associated with these fueling activities. To remediate the site, the NPS mixed and applied 1,000 pounds of RegenOx, physically breaking down diesel hydrocarbon chains in the soil. After treatment with RegenOx, concentrations of diesel-range organics were reduced by approximately 90% across the stockpile. Read more about this case here.

11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST
This webinar event will detail two field study remediation projects designed to evaluate the effectiveness of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using catalyzed persulfate (PersulfOx™) vs. base-activated persulfate on petroleum hydrocarbons. One study site was impacted by gasoline within a shallow unconfined silty sand aquifer, whereas the second site was fractured bedrock impacted by heating oil.
The field studies were designed to evaluate the two different types of persulfate applied at each site and reagent-specific characteristics including:
- Material delivery into the treatment area
- Subsurface distribution
- Reagent persistence
- Treatment effectiveness
- Potential for rebound
Key findings that will also be discussed include:
- Distribution of oxidant solution varies by injection method
- Buffering reactions appear to have a significant impact on pH-based activation
- There is limited correlation between laboratory and field test
- Catalyzed persulfate (PersulfOx) produced significantly better treatment results than base-activated persulfate

In late 2012, chlorinated compounds were discovered in shallow groundwater at a former industrial site in Attleboro, Massachusetts. With groundwater VOC concentrations as high as 85,000 ug/L, environmental engineers needed an aggressive remediation solution. They chose in situ chemical oxidation using PersulfOx to treat a 35’ long X 35’ wide X 15’ deep area. Regenesis’ new ISCO technology—PersulfOx—is an all-in-one catalyzed persulfate that reduces health and safety risks associated with traditional persulfate application. PersulfOx’s built-in activation simplifies logistics and field application, thereby decreasing cost. After 7 months of treatment with PersulfOx, one treatment well revealed an 81% reduction in VOCs and another showed a 99% reduction.
