The treatability study provided insight on the optimal MetaFix reagent formation and dosing recommendations, which were validated by the site pilot study. The MetaFix reagent dosing of 0.5% was selected for the full scale treatment.

The full scale implementation utilizes an integrated soil treatment mixing system where soil crushing/screening and reagent dosing/mixing can be completed in one process per batch. The treated soils are covered and allowed to react for 7 days.
