THE BIOGEOCHEMICAL REDUCTIVE DEHALOGENATION GROUNDWATER TREATMENT PROCESS: COMMERCIALIZATION STATUS AT BENCH, PILOT AND FULL SCALE
Studer, J.E.
Abstracts of the 21st Annual Florida Remediation Conference, Orlando, October 8-9, 2015
A novel in situ remediation technology that combines biological and abiotic processes has been commercialized as the BiRD biogeochemical reductive dehalogenation treatment process. The technology generates amorphous and crystalline forms of iron sulfide (referred to as FexSy) in situ, which can dehalogenate compounds such as PCE, TCE, and other chlorinated aliphatics at significant rates. The FexSy reactive zone is created rapidly and can treat passing groundwater over a relatively long period of time. The process can be applied via direct injection or trenching techniques using inexpensive nontoxic reactants that are readily available in either liquid or solid form. The technology is compatible with enhanced bioremediation and zero-valent iron treatments. For additional information on this technology, see the compilation of technical information and case studies at http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/losangeles/board_decisions/adopted_orders/WDR_Update/Calciumhydroxide,magnesiumhydroxide,hematite-WDREvaluation.pdf .
