Zero Valent Iron (ZVI)

Hepure is a key wholesale supplier of Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) powders for water and soil treatment. In 2022 nearly 1,000 tons of ZVI were provided to over 15 projects within the US and internationally.

Ferox ZVI Product Line

What is Zero Valent Iron?

Zero valent iron (ZVI) powders are inert metallic iron shavings capable of treating chlorinated solvents abiotically, avoiding the production of harmful daughter products (DCE and VC). The use of ZVI as an in situ chemical reductant has become increasingly popular with the advancement of application processes.

Hepure’s reactive iron powder lines are produced from high quality cast iron feedstock and proprietary catalytic iron powders. The product line is available in several grades and mesh sizes for various applications. From the selection of raw materials through manufacturing and packaging, all processes satisfy Hepure’s demanding product standards.

Since entering the environmental remediation market in 2000, Hepure’s Ferox iron powders have become the most widely used micron-scale iron powders in the market, with documented successful outcomes at more than 150 sites across North America.

Ferox ZVI Products

Each Ferox product is engineered for a specific application method, with particle sizes optimized for performance and deliverability.

Ferox PRB

Granular ZVI for Permeable Reactive Barriers

Hepure’s Ferox PRB was exclusively designed for groundwater and soil remediation. Ferox PRB has uniform delivery characteristics and mesh size while being free of rust, dust, and potentially harmful lubricating oils — providing better reactivity and a more effective remediation solution.
