Per <br /> your request, I have prepared a Scope of Work and Cost Estimate to evaluate RegenOxTM <br /> for use in in situ chemical oxidation of petroleum hydrocarbons. Specific compounds of <br /> concern are diesel range organics(DRO), gasoline range organics (GRO), BTEX <br /> compounds(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes), fuel oxygenates (MTBE., TBA, <br /> ETBE, DIPE, TAME) and lead scavengers [1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) and ethylene <br /> dibromide(EDB)] <br /> RegenOx is proprietary oxidizing agent developed by Regenesis (San Clemente, CA). It is <br /> a based on Fenton's-type chemistry and uses a solid, slow release hydrogen peroxide and a <br /> catalyst to generate radicals that can oxidize a wide range of contaminants. RegenOx <br /> generates H2O2, which in turn decomposes to generate oxygen gas. Although the rate of <br /> gas formation should be relatively slow and should not cause significant stripping of <br /> volatile components, this will be evaluated in the laboratory study. <br /> As with all strong oxidants, RegenOiJm may potentially have long term or short term <br /> secondary affects such as oxidation of soil-bound chromium to Cr(VI), oxidation of <br /> naturally occurring bromide to bromate, or mobilization of metals. The magnitude and <br /> duration of any secondary effects is site specific and may or may not be of significance. <br /> APPROACH <br /> Batch tests will be conducted to evaluate RegenOx. Specific goals are: <br /> - assess contamiant removal and estimate appropriate amount of RegenOx needed <br /> - determine whether losses are due to destruction or volatilization <br /> - evaluate the effect of RegenOx on secondary water quality parameters <br /> 10265 Old Placerville Road,Suite 15,Sacramento,CA 95827-3042•Ph(916)363-8798•Fax(916)363-8829 <br /> www.primaenvironimental.com <br />
