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.
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 BarriersHepure’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.
Ferox Flow
Fine ZVI Powder for InjectionFerox Flow is a highly reactive, remediation grade ZVI powder proven to work in the treatment of environmentally contaminated zones adjacent/down-gradient to contaminant source areas.
Ferox Target
ZVI for Injection ApplicationsFerox Target is engineered for environmental remediation applications within saturated source area(s).
Ferox Plus (eZVI)
Emulsified Zero Valent IronFerox Plus emulsified zero valent iron (eZVI) combines Ferox ZVI with emulsified vegetable oil, vitamins, and nutrients in a site-ready formulation. Designed to stimulate both chemical reduction and anaerobic biological reductive pathways in a long-lasting and easily distributable format.
What can ZVI treat?
Zero valent iron is effective against a wide range of soil and groundwater contaminants through chemical reduction mechanisms.
