July 13, 2021 – The US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) (Omaha District) and The United States Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), in conjunction with Jacobs Engineering Group (Jacobs) and Bhate Environmental Associates, Inc., have contracted Envirogen Technologies to design, build, and install an active water treatment system to treat 1,4 Dioxane at an Air Force Base in Tennessee. The award of a contract for this remediation system is for a full-scale demonstration unit, following successful bench-scale testing of the site water.
1,4-Dioxane is a persistent contaminant in groundwater, commonly encountered at contaminated sites with a history of solvent use, often impacting nearby supply wells. The USEPA classifies 1,4-Dioxane as a suspected carcinogen.
