RegenOx(tm), New Environmental Cleanup Product from Regenesis, is a Breakthrough in Chemical Oxidation Technology
RegenOx(tm), the newest environmental product from Regenesis (San Clemente, CA) is a breakthrough technology for in situ remediation of the most recalcitrant soil and groundwater pollutants, such as industrial degreasers, explosives and pesticides. RegenOx is supplied in two parts, a solid sodium percarbonate-based alkaline oxidant and a multi-part catalyst, which are combined and injected into the subsurface with ordinary drilling or direct-push equipment. The combined product produces an effective oxidation reaction comparable to that of Fenton’s reagent, but without Fenton’s reagent’s violent exothermic reaction. RegenOx safely, rapidly and cost-effectively destroys a wide range of hazardous chemicals, including petroleum hydrocarbons (aliphatics and aromatics), gasoline oxygenates (e.g., MTBE and TAME), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., naphthalene and phenanthrene) and chlorinated hydrocarbons (e.g., PCE, TCE, TCA).
San Clemente, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2005 -- Regenesis has announced the
official release of its latest environmental remediation product, RegenOx(tm),
at the Eighth International Symposium on In Situ and Onsite Bioremediation in
Baltimore. The company describes it as a breakthrough technology for in situ
("in-place") remediation of the most recalcitrant soil and groundwater
pollutants, such as industrial degreasers, explosives and
pesticides.
Sites contaminated with high to moderate levels of petroleum
hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents and other widely used industrial and
agricultural chemicals have historically been difficult and extremely costly to
clean up. These contaminants can penetrate deep into soil and bedrock, where
they create a long-lasting "plume" of contamination in soil and
groundwater.
These contaminants can often be treated cost-effectively
using in-situ oxidation. However, existing chemical oxidation methods such as
potassium permanganate and Fenton's reagent (a combination of hydrogen peroxide
and a powerful iron-based catalyst) have been too short-lived and/or too
dangerous for general use and may require specialized training, application and
equipment.
RegenOx is a safe, nontoxic formulation specifically designed
to avoid these problems. Injected directly into soil using standard, widely
available, direct-push equipment, it uses several synergistic chemical processes
aimed at rapidly attacking and destroying a broad range of contaminants. Because
RegenOx remains active for periods up to a month, it can effectively remove
large amounts of contamination.
Unlike other chemical oxidation
technologies, RegenOx has no detrimental impacts on groundwater, and in many
cases, once the source contamination has been eliminated, the remaining
contamination plume can then be treated using well-proven, low-cost accelerated
bioremediation technologies. For further information, contact Marketing Director

About Regenesis
San Clemente, CA-based Regenesis has been
revolutionizing the environmental industry since 1994 with innovative
accelerated bioremediation technologies which drastically cut the cost of
restoring contaminated soils and water, beginning with Oxygen Release Compound
(ORC[tm]) and Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC[tm]), which have been used to
successfully remediate more than 12,000 sites worldwide. These and other
Regenesis products, including HRC-X(tm), for long-term treatment of residual
source areas and DNAPLs, MRC(tm), for removal of dissolved metals in groundwater
and Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM(tm), a bioaugmentation culture, have made Regenesis the
world leader in advanced technologies for groundwater resources.
