Zero Valent Iron (ZVI)

Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) – is a reductant used in the treatment of organic and inorganic contaminants found in soil and groundwater. Highly reactive micro-scale iron powder and granules for in situ chemical reduction of chlorinated solvents, metals, nitrates, nitroaromatic compounds, and certain dyes, among other contaminants of concern. ZVI is applied to soils and groundwater within source areas, permeable reactive zones/barriers, and other soil and groundwater remediation applications. CERES offers the best selection of highly reactive ZVI products to match up with the soil and hydrogeologic conditions as well as preferred injection approach. ZVI is a common component of BioGeoChemical Reduction approaches and is included in CERES BioGeochemical Reduction (BGCR). CERES Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) powder is produced by different manufacturing processes including reduced iron (i.e. Sponge Iron), hydrometallurgy, water atomization or carbonyl production methods (NOTE: CERES DOES NOT use scrap iron for our ZVI!).  CERES ZVI is available at up to 99.5% Fe content and thousands of tons are produced annually with just-in-time manufacturing to ensure no appreciable surface oxides are present. Each manufacturing method produces ZVI of different iron content, reactivity and hydrogen production to meet our clients project specific requirements. Yes, we are engineering to order your ZVI. Who else does that?! ZVI is one of the most effective and reliable remediation technologies, proven over decades to achieve successful in situ chemical reduction (ISCR) of many target contaminants. CERES has supported many clients with ZVI for ISCR projects around the world for many years with great success and proud to say that customer goals are being achieved one project after the other!
