N. Railroad Ave. Plume Superfund Site - New Mexico
The NRAP site is a state-lead site in its 7th year of groundwater treatment operations by in-situ enhanced reductive dechlorination. The site’s lead agency, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), recently completed a response action report to document ongoing progress in their remediation efforts. NMED utilized EnviroInsite in that effort to assist in the interpretation of sampling ...

Optical humidity sensor based on m-nitroaniline doped gold/poly-vinyl alcohol nano-composite
Gold/polyvinyl alcohol nano-composites with two different concentrations of gold (~1.0 wt% and ~2.0 wt% respectively) were prepared via in-situ reduction of gold salt by employing hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent. The optical absorption spectra of nanocomposites reveal the shift in the surface plasmon resonance band from 525 nm to 560 nm with increase in gold concentration. The obtained ...

Confidential Site (ISOTEC Case Study 60) Injection of calcium polysulfide for in-situ treatment of heavy metals (hexavalent chrome)
ISOTEC was retained to implement a calcium polysulfide (CAPS) treatment program at a confidential site in northern New Jersey to address heavy metal impacted soils. The target contaminant of concern (COC) was hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)]. Concentrations of Cr (VI) in soils varied from less than 240 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) to as high as 1,770 mg/kg. Average Cr (VI) concentration of 100 ...

Cost and Performance Summary Report In Situ Chemical Reduction at the Morses Pond Culvert, Wellesley, Massachusetts
The Morses Pond Culvert Site is located in Wellesley, Massachusetts. As shown in Figure 1, the site includes a residential property and portions of properties owned by the Town of Wellesley and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Morses Pond drains into a 200-ft long culvert which discharges under the railroad tracks into a pond (Paintshop Pond) downstream of the site. The southern ...

Controlling Methane ar ERD and ISCR Applications
In situ chemical reduction (ISCR) and enhanced reductive dehalogenation (ERD) have demonstrated success in the remediation of numerous recalcitrant and toxic compounds, including chlorinated ethenes and hexavalent chromium. ISCR describes the combined effect of stimulated biological oxygen consumption (via fermentation of an organic carbon source), direct chemical reduction with zero-valent iron ...

Effective distribution of emulsified edible oil for enhanced anaerobic bioremediation
Abstract Recent laboratory and field studies have shown that injection of emulsified edible oils can provide an effective, low-cost alternative for stimulating anaerobic biodegradation processes. A pilot-scale permeable reactive bio-barrier (PRBB) was installed at a perchlorate and chlorinated solvent impacted site by injecting 380 L of commercially available emulsion (EOS® ) containing ...

The no. 1 choice for improving the performance of soil and groundwater remediation
Adsorption of Contamination The number one challenge associated with most site remediation designs and methodologies is that 90% to 95% of all environmental contaminants; including hydrocarbons (LNAPL), chlorinates (DNAPL), and heavy metals; are present in a sorbed (i.e., absorbed or adsorbed) phase onto soil and bedrock surfaces within both saturated and unsaturated zones. As such, the absorbed ...

Using AquaBupH to adjust aquifer PH: ESTCP-funded project at Charleston Naval weapons station - Case Study
Elevated levels of trichloroethene (TCE) were found in groundwater at a Department of De-fense (DoD) facility in Charleston, SC. Under an ESTCP-funded in situ technology demonstra-tion project , the Navy had been effectively remediating contamination until a drop in aquifer pH caused dechlorination rates to decline. Solutions-IES responded with a study and applica-tion of buffered substrate to ...

In Situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents: A Case Study
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 stimulation of in ...

Multiparameter sonde used in combined remedy approach and saves $200,000 in potential costs - Case Study
A former dry-cleaning site in the Pacific Northwest, Ultra Custom Care Cleaners, was found to be contaminated with PCE (perchloroethylene). According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), PCE was widely used in the dry cleaning of fabrics since the 1940s. PCE is one of the most frequently detected VOCs (volatile organic carbons) in groundwater at a national scale (Moran 2004). PCE is highly ...

Plume Control under a City Building
Subsurface remediation in a big city setting is complicated. Limited work space, heavy traffic, noise restrictions, and a dense network of utilities are just some of the factors that conspire to make the installation of any in situ plume control or plume reduction system a seemingly unsolvable logistical puzzle. Horizontal wells placed directly beneath a building can provide protection from soil ...

NOx re-burn simulation in a double-jet counter-flow flame
The paper investigates the main features of NOx emission in a laminar double-jet counter-flow diffusion flame for later use as a possible physical model for NOx reduction through turbine in situ reheat. The oxidizer stream consists of exhaust gas resulted from a conventional combustor and the fuel stream is represented by an air?methane mixture. The main interest rests on the distribution of NOx ...

Promoting decision making through a Sustainable Remediation Assessment Matrix (SRAM)
This paper describes the steps taken in a decision making process through a Sustainable Remediation Assessment Matrix (SRAM). The development of the SRAM deals with Complex, Large–scale Interconnected, Open, and Socio–technical System (CLIOS). For both large and small contaminated areas, considers potential impacts on neighbouring areas, the contribution to air emissions from the materials of the ...

Microsensor determination of multiple microbial processes in an oxygen-based membrane aerated biofilm
Microsensor techniques were used to investigate in situ the simultaneous occurrence of sulfate reduction and nitrogen removal in a membrane aerated biofilm reactor. H2S, O2, pH, ORP, NH4+ and NO3− microsensors were fabricated and used to measure the profiles inside the membrane aerated biofilm. Production and consumption rates of H2S, O2, NH4+ and NO3− were estimated ...
