Chlorinated solvents
The initial PSG survey identified TCE source areas that did not agree with the GPR survey findings. Based on these results, a subsequent PSG survey was performed to further characterize the site and better define the source areas identified in the initial survey. Analytical results were provided to the client within four (4) days of receipt of samples at the laboratory for both surveys. The ...

CL#3 - In Situ BioLogix Application - Case Study
Site Information Chlorinated solvents were found in soil and ground water beneath a drum storage area at a manufacturing facility in central Alberta. The contamination was mainly found in the uppermost occurrence of ground water in an intratill silty sand formation. Within this zone the contamination had spread to cover an area of approximately 3,500 square feet. The contaminants found at the ...

North LA Case Study (C3 Technology)
The project site is an industrial facility located in the foothills of northern Los Angeles, California. The facility utilized chlorinated solvents in operations. Based on soil borings, site geology consisted of unconsolidated gravely sands, sand, silty sand, sandy silt, and silt from ground surface to more than 200 feet below ground surface (bgs). Groundwater was encountered at the site at ...

Aerobic Cometabolism of Halogenated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons: A Technology Overview
Untitled Document Abstract Bioremediation of chlorinated solvents has been moving from an innovative to mainstream technology for environmental applications. Cometabolism of chlorinated solvents by monooxygenase has been demonstrated for trichloroethylene (TCE) and dichloroethylene (DCE). Cl-out microbes combine the dehalogenation of PCE with the monooxygenase ...

Impact of 1,4-Dioxane from Domestic Effluent on the Agano and Shinano Rivers, Japan
1,4-Dioxane is a polar and low-biodegradable organic compound. It is used as an industrial solvent or solvent stabilizer that prevents the breakdown of chlorinated solvents during manufacturing processes (Zenker et al. 2003). Industrial solvents are used in decreasing, electronics, metal finishing, fabric cleaning, pharmaceuticals, herbicides and pesticides, anti freeze, paper manufacturing and ...

Case study - Dual-reagent ISCO “Fast-Tracks” cleanup of Orlando Brownfield
Description: A Brownfield property impacted with chlorinated solvents was the planned location for the home of the Orlando Magic basketball team. Contaminants: Chlorinated solvent contamination was present in soil and groundwater with PCE concentrations greater than 14,000 ug/L and potential presence of DNAPL. Remedial challenge: The City of Orlando was looking to obtain a pay-per-performance ...

Chlorinated Solvent Plume Remediation, Midwest United States - Case Study
ERM was contracted by a confidential client to implement a remedial action program to address groundwater impacted by chlorinated solvents. The site is a former manufacturing facility, which used an underground storage tank for waste oil generated by manufacturing operations and cleaning activities. During excavation of the tank, it was determined the feeder line was leaking waste oil containing ...

CL-Out In Situ Bioremediation of Perchlorate
CL-Out is a consortium of facultative aerobic organisms that are well know for their ability to utilize nitrates. CL-Out is generally used for the aerobic cometabolism of PCE and other chlorinated solvents. As the half-reaction for perchlorate is close to that of nitrate, CL-Out cometabolism of perchlorate was successfully tested in the laboratory. In addition to laboratory tests, CL-Out was ...

Project - Tank Barge Degassed
PURGIT has the correct equipment and experience to degas tank barges Case history Methylene chloride Recovered 325 gallons—about 1583 pounds or clean condensate by pulling vapors from the vessel liquid line. We condensed the chlorinated solvent and returned the non-condensables to the same tank through the vapor line in a closed loop. The tank setup required approx 50' each of suction ...

Technical Bulletin: c-DCE stall out
Trichloroethene (TCE) and Perchloroethene (PCE) chlorinated solvents have been responsible for the serious contamination of soils and groundwater. The occurrence of cis-DCE “stall”, the condition of where it appears biodegradation beyond cis-DCE to vinyl chloride does not occur resulting in cis-DCE accumulation, is often misinterpreted. How do you know if your site has c-DCE “Stall”?1) Evaluate ...

Raynesway resource park - Case Study
The Raynesway Resource Park is a 35 hectare site bounded on three sides by the River Derwent. The southern half of a former chemicals plant, soils and groundwaters were impacted by chlorinated solvents, acid tars, hydrocarbons and ammoniacal sludges. Celtic designed a sophisticated groundwater treatment system, integrating air sparging, multi-phase extraction and chemical oxidation to address ...

In Situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents
ABSTRACT: In situ bioremediation is ongoing at a former manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. Shallow groundwater at the site was impacted by chlorinated solvents, primarily trichloroethene and degradation products cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride. In situ chemical oxidation treatment was completed in 2003 via the injection of sodium permanganate in source areas. Subsequent ...
