Anaerobic Injection Water Preparation
KB-1® Primer is used to prepare anaerobic water to disperse electron donors and protect anaerobic bioaugmentation cultures during injection into aquifers. In the past, production of anaerobic water was time consuming, and often produced water with solids that required filtration and that had pH impacts. SiREM has developed KB-1® Primer as an easy to use product to facilitate anaerobic conditions during remediation injections.
KB-1®, KB-1® Plus, and DGG-Plus cultures contain microorganisms that are strictly anaerobic, which can present challenges during injection
into non-reducing aquifers and when electron donor and bioaugmentation cultures are applied simultaneously. KB-1® Primer does not adversely impact bioaugmentation culture activity or viability.
SiREM’s KB-1® Primer product quickly produces reducing conditions and preserves culture activity and viability. It’s a simple process that requires few tools, few site visits, and little time.
