PeroxyChem EHC - Liquid ISCR Reagent
EHC Liquid ISCR reagent is a concentrated, buffered, microemulsion of a controlled-release, food-grade carbon, nutrients, and iron designed for on-site dilution with cold water.
It is a liquid variant of PeroxyChem’s EHC® ISCR Reagent and is specially designed for injection via existing wells or hydraulic injection networks for the treatment of a wide range of groundwater contaminants. EHC Liquid is composed primarily of ELS™ Microemulsion, a controlled-release organic carbon substrate and EHC Liquid mix, an organo-ferrous compound (both food-grade). The anaerobic bioremediation processes and abiotic dechlorination reactions promoted by EHC Liquid are effective at remediating chlorinated solvents, energetics, and pesticides/herbicides.
- Stimulation of both abiotic and biotic dechlorination mechanisms
- Structurally bound nutrients phosphorous and nitrogen released to bacteria
- Anticipated longevity of 2-3 yrs. depending on site conditions
- Easy to handle and cold water soluble
In situ chemical reduction (ISCR) is the combination of abiotic chemical reduction, using zero valent iron(ZVI) and/or reduced minerals (magnetite, pyrite), coupled with anaerobic bioremediation for the effective treatment of chlorinated solvents, pesticides, and energetics. Physical, chemical, and biological processes combine to create an extremely reduced environment that stimulates chemical and microbiological dechlorination of otherwise persistent compounds.
- Direct push injection
- Gravity feed through existing wells
- Low pressure injections
- Recirculation systems
