Injection Solutions for Diverse Contaminants

Introduction

Not all contamination looks the same — and neither should the solution. At Talon/LPE, we use injection-based remediation systems to address a wide variety of site challenges, ranging from petroleum hydrocarbons to agricultural nitrates. Injections allow us to target contamination directly in the subsurface, minimizing disruption, speeding up cleanup, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.


Why Injection Remediation Works Across Contaminants

Injection remediation is highly adaptable because it introduces custom-designed treatment agents directly into the impacted soil or groundwater. By tailoring the chemistry to the contaminant of concern, injections can:

  • Break down hydrocarbons into harmless byproducts.

  • Neutralize or immobilize heavy metals.

  • Stimulate microbial activity to degrade organic compounds.

  • Reduce nitrate concentrations in soil and groundwater.

This flexibility makes injections a proven choice for both industrial and agricultural sites.


Hydrocarbons: Petroleum, Diesel, and Gasoline

Hydrocarbon releases are some of the most common contamination events we respond to. With injections, we can:

  • Deliver oxidants to rapidly break down petroleum hydrocarbons.

  • Use reductive agents or bioremediation stimulants to enhance microbial degradation.

  • Treat contamination in-situ without removing large volumes of soil, saving both time and money.


Nitrates: Agricultural and Industrial Sources

Nitrate contamination poses a unique challenge, particularly in agricultural and rural areas where groundwater is a drinking water source. Through injection-based systems, we can:

  • Introduce denitrification agents to stimulate naturally occurring microbes.

  • Reduce nitrate concentrations to safe levels while protecting nearby water resources.

  • Address contamination at depth — something traditional excavation cannot reach.


Other Contaminants: Beyond the Basics

While hydrocarbons and nitrates are common, injection solutions can also tackle:

  • Chlorinated solvents (like PCE/TCE from dry cleaners and industrial facilities).

  • Metals (through immobilization strategies that bind contaminants).

  • Emerging contaminants (such as PFAS, where injection research and pilot studies are underway).

This versatility makes injections a go-to tool for diverse industries — from energy and agriculture to manufacturing and transportation.
