Scope Of A Environmental Site Assessment
Environmental remediation can be a grueling process for commercial propery owenrs, especialliy if it's unexpected. Environmental remediation is often prompted by the results of an ESA (Environmental Site Assessment). An ESA has become a standard component of many actions related to commerical property, such as purchasing the site, applying for a land-use permit, and more. Grand Slam ...

Sub Slab Depressurization (SSDS) Installation- Case Study
ERC was hired as the General Contractor to install a sub-slab depressurization system (SSDS) in a 533,000-square foot active facility. The SSDS was designed by Hull & Associates to address the chemicals of concern (COCs) detected in the soil beneath the existing building slab. This system included trenching, installing 1,157' of horizontal pipe, vacuum blowers, 10 sub-slab extraction points, ...

Facility Decommissioning and Adaptive Reuse
ABSTRACT The objectives of facility management are changing. In many cases, changing operational directives or facility closures are dramatically modifying the current and future use of facilities. These changes can often be the catalyst for environmental investigation, possible remediation, equipment removal, and adaptive reuse. This paper presents an approach for investigating the ...

Biotechnology: The Ultimate Pollution Prevention Tool
Much has been written about biotechnology. Indeed, so much has been written that the word 'biotechnology' means many things to many people. To the medical/pharmaceutical community, biotechnology is big business, and one that has greatly advanced drug development. To others, crop biotechnology conjures up thoughts of 'franken-foods,' and similar provocative images. Biotechnology in environmental ...

Reviewed - Top 5 Thermal Soil Remediation Companies
Soil remediation broadly refers to the ‘repair’ and ‘renewal’ of contaminated land. To preserve the sanitation of the area, contaminants in the land are treated or removed using different soil remediation techniques. However, one of the most effective techniques that have greatly evolved over the years to restore the damaged soil is the thermal soil remediation technique. ...

Study of bacterial activity in fabricated soils
Fabricated Soil (FS) is a natural mixture of decaying substrates rich in alumni silicate, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium sources. This substrate usually is used for landscape rehabilitation and is an excellent source and example of environmental remediation. The structure and function of the soil food web have been suggested as prime indicators of ecosystem health (Coleman et al., ...

Sorption characteristics of phenanthrene and pyrene to surfactant-modified peat from aqueous solution: the contribution of partition and adsorption
In this paper, the sorption characteristics and mechanisms of phenanthrene and pyrene onto peat (PT) and surfactant-modified peat (MPT) were investigated. Sorption results fit closely to the Partition model and Freundlich model, the coefficient of determination (R2) were higher than 0.98 and 0.99, respectively. The contributions of partition and adsorption to the total sorption of phenanthrene ...

Fiscal risk to West Virginia's special reclamation fund
This paper analyses fiscal risk to West Virginia's Special Reclamation Fund for abandoned mine lands and AMD water treatment from 1990 through 2003. I find that, despite tightening regulatory restrictions which have led to reductions in bond defaults there are continued risk to both revenue collections and expenditures. These include coal price variability, technological or regulatory change and ...

SSDS Installation; Pontiac, Michigan - Case study
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION CONTRACTOR was hired as the General Contractor to install a sub-slab depressurization system (SSDS) in a 533,000 square foot active facility. The SSDS was designed by Hull & Associates to address the chemicals of concern (COC) detected in the soil beneath the existing building slab. This system included trenching, installing 1,157′ of the horizontal pipe, ...

An exergy–based Ecological Indicator as a measure of our resource use footprint
The concept of 'Ecological Indicator' (EI) is critically analysed to define the properties it ought to possess and to demonstrate that indicators based solely on material–and energy balances do not comply with the necessary properties. It is argued that exergy destruction and exergy of discharge, both acceptable thermodynamic indicators, cannot provide information on the human–specific impact of ...

What is Environmental Remediation?
Environmental remediation is cleaning up hazardous substances by removing, treating, and containing pollution or contaminants from environmental media like soil, groundwater, and sediment. This process is crucial for protecting the environment and public health by reducing the presence of harmful substances[1][2][3]. Remediation can involve various methods categorized as ex-situ (excavation and ...

In-Situ Treatment Case Study
Jeep Parkway – Toledo, OhioTreated the soil in situ down to 20 feet. Removal of several unknown concrete structures, removal and disposal of more than 4,000 tons of PAH and heavy metal contaminated soil, collected over 200 soil samples and water samples, and moved 7,000 cubic yards of onsite borrow to fill and cap the area. Environmental Remediation Contractor is a force for nature. We are a ...

Modelling and prediction of removal of metal ions from aqueous solution through facilitated transport
A mathematical model has been developed to predict metal ions (Cd+2, Cu+2, Au+3, Pd+2 and Am+3) removals from aqueous solutions through facilitated transport using supported liquid membranes. Predictions from developed model found to be in good agreement with experimental data obtained from literature. Model incorporates kinetic mechanism of metal ion extraction with its diffusion through aqueous ...

Horizontal Air Sparge Wells Solve Access Limitations beneath Air Field Tarmac
Air Force Base tarmac is a double-edged sword with respect to environmental remediation. Concrete thicker than at commercial airports virtually eliminates infiltration and limits migration of jet fuel constituents in groundwater, but source material in the vadose zone remains indefinitely, extending the life of the groundwater plume. Horizontal air sparge wells are an effective means of ...
