Bioremediation Injection:
HRC (Hydrogen Releasing Compound): HRC
is an environmentally safe polylactate ester that slowly releases
lactic acid upon hydration.
The HRC is applied to the subsurface with push-point injection
or within dedicated
wells. The HRC is then
left in place where it works to stimulate rapid contaminant
degradation as anaerobic microbes metabolize the
lactic acid. This produces low concentrations of dissolved
hydrogen that is then used by other subsurface microbes
to strip the solvent molecules of their chlorine atoms and
allow for further biological degradation. When in the subsurface, HRC
continues to operate for a period of
a year’s time, cost effectively degrading chlorinated ground
pollutants such as PCE,
TCE, and TCA.
 By
providing a long-lasting, time-released hydrogen source, HRC cost
effectively degrades chlorinated solvent contamination in place, at a
fraction of the cost of other treatment technologies.
ORC (Oxygen Releasing Compound):
ORC is a patented formulation of magnesium peroxide that causes a slow
and sustained release of oxygen when in contact with soil
moisture or groundwater. Widespread naturally occurring
micro-organisms that aerobically degrade pollutants thrive in the
oxygen-enriched environment produced by ORC. When in the presence of
ORC these microbes rapidly degrade groundwater pollutants into
harmless by-products such as carbon dioxide and water.
Thus, the application of ORC is an excellent technique used to
accelerate the natural degradation of pollutants in groundwater 10X to
100X over un-amended approaches.
