In Situ Remediation is a TOOL!
![Page 5: Applications of In-Situ Chemical Oxidation/Reductions3.amazonaws.com/ebcne-web-content/fileadmin/pres/... · 3 Redox Tech, LLC • Business founded in 1995. • Headquarters in Cary,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ee39b1aad6a402d666d5bc6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Site Characterization for In Situ
Treatment Designs
• Horizontal and Vertical Delineation;
• MNA Field Measurements (Ph, ORP, and DO);
• Alkalinity, Dissolved Iron, Sulfate, etc…
• Site Geology;
• Total Oxidant Demand (TOD);
• Utility Locations; and
• Nearby Receptors.

In Situ Remediation – The Design Delivery and Chemistry are Key
• Requires fundamental understanding of geochemistry and microbiology.
• Requires confidence in the consultants work.
• Requires delivery that mimics the target contaminant distribution.
• Without both proper data, delivery and formulation, remediation likely to fail.
• May require Pilot Study.
![Page 7: Applications of In-Situ Chemical Oxidation/Reductions3.amazonaws.com/ebcne-web-content/fileadmin/pres/... · 3 Redox Tech, LLC • Business founded in 1995. • Headquarters in Cary,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ee39b1aad6a402d666d5bc6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Total Oxidant Demand (TOD)
• Water-phase contaminant is not only material that will be oxidized
• Sorbed phase contaminant
• Free-phase contaminants
• Naturally-occurring organic material (NOM)
• Reduced soil and water minerals
• Can be estimated with site data
![Page 8: Applications of In-Situ Chemical Oxidation/Reductions3.amazonaws.com/ebcne-web-content/fileadmin/pres/... · 3 Redox Tech, LLC • Business founded in 1995. • Headquarters in Cary,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ee39b1aad6a402d666d5bc6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Chemical Oxidants
• Permanganate – widely used for chlorinated
alkenes, PCE, TCE, DCE, VC
• Peroxide (Fenton’s) – relatively inexpensive, but
can be difficult to inject
• Persulfate – replacing many peroxide applications
because of safety and gas generation
• Ozone – still occasionally used for gas stations
![Page 11: Applications of In-Situ Chemical Oxidation/Reductions3.amazonaws.com/ebcne-web-content/fileadmin/pres/... · 3 Redox Tech, LLC • Business founded in 1995. • Headquarters in Cary,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ee39b1aad6a402d666d5bc6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Base Activated Sodium Persulfate
• Competes with permanganate, Fenton’s chemistry, ozone and peroxide;
• Oxidizes a broader range of organic contaminants than permanganate ;
• Oxidizes more compounds than Fenton’s chemistry and does not have gas generation;
• Slower reaction time than other oxidants which can translate to less rebound; and
• Much safer to handle than other oxidants.
![Page 12: Applications of In-Situ Chemical Oxidation/Reductions3.amazonaws.com/ebcne-web-content/fileadmin/pres/... · 3 Redox Tech, LLC • Business founded in 1995. • Headquarters in Cary,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ee39b1aad6a402d666d5bc6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sodium Persulfate Injection
Enfield, CT
• Gasoline Release in the 1980s;
• Remediation activities included product recovery,
SVE, pump and treat and soil excavation;
• Following 20+ years of remediation, groundwater
concentration were still elevated under the
roadway and nearby properties; and
• Redox Tech NE was invited to bid on a Fenton’s
Reagent design and proposed activated sodium
persulfate as an alternative.

• Average TVOC approximately 4,000 ppb (78%);
• Elevated sulfate still present in groundwater
(>1,000 mg/L); and
• 22 out of 36 target monitoring wells below
groundwater standards (GW Protection and

Enhanced
Anaerobic Bioremediation
• Aquifers are sometimes limited by carbon (or food) source for bacteria
• In some instances, the proper bacteria (e.g. dehalogenators) are not present
• Overstimulation can result in domination by methanogens
• Examples: Redox Tech’s ABC, FMC’s EHC and Regenesis’ HRC
• Data should support the use of these products
![Page 18: Applications of In-Situ Chemical Oxidation/Reductions3.amazonaws.com/ebcne-web-content/fileadmin/pres/... · 3 Redox Tech, LLC • Business founded in 1995. • Headquarters in Cary,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5ee39b1aad6a402d666d5bc6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

acceptors
• Easily applied as an aqueous solution
• Proper application of sulfate enhanced
biodegradation will result in no adverse health effects

Sulfate Reduction Case Study
Site Background
Former gasoline service station with two confirmed releases in 1992 and 2001
Historical remedial efforts with limited success included groundwater pump and treat and monitored natural attenuation
Geology consists of fine to medium sand with groundwater present about 10 feet bgs
Pilot study was not intended to be a “full scale” site remediation

Hydraulic Fracturing
• Injection of water, solution or slurry at
pressure that exceeds the lithostatic pressure
and cohesive strength of the formation.
• Results in short-term enhancement of soil
permeability.
• Increases radius-of-influence and injection
rate.

In Situ Soil Blending
• Efficient and uniform delivery of remediation amendments
• Production rates comparable to dig, haul and backfill
• No long term liability associated with disposal
• Costs that can be 2 to 10 times less expensive than dig and haul, depending upon the extent of contamination
• No RCRA TSD permits are required
• Can treat a wide range of compounds, such as chlorinated solvents, pesticides, PAHs, etc

Improvements in Blender
• Weight reduced by ~50% which reduces transportation costs by factor of two ($5-6 per mile now)
• Horsepower approximately doubled
• Independent acting dual motors in custom designed mixing head
• Torque load sensing on both sides of head so rotation speed automatically adjusts – prevents “deadheading”
• Base is common excavator so parts readily available

In Situ Remediation Issues
• Underestimated contaminant mass;
• Unknown underground structures;
• Poorly marked utilities;
• Daylighting;
• Back Pressure;
• Surface grade;
• Aboveground obstructions; and
• Poorly identified geology

The End
• In Situ Remediation is 1 of many tools;
• Injection is not the only application technique;
• Know your site;
• Work with your In-Situ contractor;
• Understand the function of the chemical; and
