SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--REGENESIS®, the recognized leader in soil and groundwater remediation solutions and vapor intrusion mitigation technologies, today announced its PlumeStop® groundwater remediation technology was named a finalist in Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards for 2023. With proven efficacy in treating groundwater contaminants including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), chlorinated solvents, and a host of other hard-to-treat contaminants, this patented solution eliminates the risk of “forever chemicals” and tackles the urgent need to resolve groundwater contamination for communities impacted globally. PFAS has been identified in the drinking water of over 200 million Americans and is a serious health concern globally.
"We're truly honored to stand out as a finalist in the esteemed Fast Company Innovation by Design awards," remarked Scott Wilson, CEO and president of REGENESIS. "PlumeStop was conceived as a revolutionary environmental solution aimed at mitigating threats posed by groundwater contaminants on a global scale. Over time, it has gained widespread adoption for its exceptional ability to mitigate PFAS risk, all while maintaining lifecycle costs at a mere fraction of alternative treatment technologies currently available. This remarkable accomplishment stands as a testament to our unwavering dedication to the environment."
PlumeStop PFAS treatment transforms underlying geology into a purifying filter and prevents PFAS from migrating further. Applications of this innovative technology have reduced and maintained regulatory clean-up levels across industrial manufacturing facilities, Department of Defense sites and U.S. EPA Superfund sites. Unlike other PFAS containment technologies, PlumeStop generates no waste streams, nor does it transfer liability to landfills and incineration facilities. PlumeStop requires little infrastructure, avoiding the excessive installation and operation and maintenance costs often seen with pump-and-treat systems. Sites globally have achieved rapid and effective groundwater treatment with proven, long-term efficacy, at a fraction of the cost compared to other PFAS treatment approaches. Often these in situ PFAS treatments offer a permanent solution to remove the exposure risk with a single application.
