In Situ BTEX Remediation

The Importance of In Situ BTEX Remediation

Fuel spills, leaking underground storage tanks and industrial activities often leave behind benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds. These toxic hydrocarbons can contaminate the subsurface, posing serious risks to human health and the environment, not to mention regulatory issues.

RPI® delivers science-driven in situ remediation solutions that eliminate BTEX contamination at the source — safely, efficiently, and without disruptive excavation.

The Problem With BTEX Contamination

BTEX compounds are carcinogenic, highly mobile, and can persist for years. Conventional pump-and-treat methods require infrastructure, are high maintenance, are expensive, and rarely meet regulatory goals as a stand-alone technology.

That’s why property owners, consultants, and regulators trust RPI®’s BOS 200® and BOS 200+® Trap & Treat® technology for BTEX remediation that works from day one.

RPI®’s In Situ BTEX Remediation Approach

We use advanced in situ methods designed to tackle BTEX contamination directly in place, combining immediate containment with long-term biodegradation.

  • Targeted source zone treatment: We precisely target BTEX compounds in aquifers to prevent further migration and achieve complete BTEX groundwater remediation. 
  • Enhanced bioremediation: Our products support microorganism biodegradation to accelerate BTEX breakdown.
  • Activated carbon adsorption: The activated carbon platform instantly binds BTEX molecules, cutting off exposure pathways from the start.
  • Sustained treatment: Our proprietary formulations remain active in the subsurface for years, continually degrading contaminants for lasting results and cost-effective BTEX removal.
