Groundwater remediation pump and treat carberry, Manitoba case study
Executive Summary Two of four underground gasoline tanks were removed from an old service station located in Carberry, Manitoba a number of years after the facility ceased operating. Two tanks were left on site and were used until 1985, when Manitoba Environment was notified that a domestic well in the vicinity of the abandoned site was contaminated with gasoline. The remaining tanks were ...

Full-scale application of nZVI: remediation of deep contamination plume close to source of drinking water
Treatment of an old disposal site proved to be a challenging task due to its improper placement and insufficient ensuring. The site is located in a very complex geological environment and in imminence of the source of drinking water. Therefore, the soluble in-situ reagents cannot be applied here. NANOFER slurry was chosen by the remediation company AQUATEST for removal of chlorinated hydrocarbons ...

Pump-and-Treat Ground-Water Remediation - A Guide for Decision Makers and Practitioners
Pump-and-treat is one of the most widely used ground-water remediation technologies. Conventional pump-and-treat methods involve pumping contaminated water to the surface for treatment. This guide, however, uses the term pump and treat in a broad sense to include any system where withdrawal from or injection into ground water is part of a remediation strategy. Variations and enhancements of ...

Lessons Learned from a Dual-Phase Extraction Field Application
ABSTRACT A field-scale Dual-Phase Extraction (DPE) system was installed and operated at the Pinellas Science, Technology, and Research (STAR) Center, formerly the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Pinellas Plant, in Largo, Florida, from August 1997 through September 1999. The goal of applying the DPE system was to enhance the pump-and-treat remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) ...

GCW as a means of efficiently remediating contaminated groundwater
With the conventional 'Pump & Treat' method, groundwater is normally extracted from one or several wells, cleaned above ground and disposed off to the either groundwater or surface water. Even when extraction and injection wells are combined, predominantly higher perme-able areas are preferentially penetrated and more fine-grained structures are circumflowed. The bulk of contaminants are ...

In-Situ Remediation of Heavy Metals Using Sulfur-Based Treatment Technologies
The Metal Problem Highly toxic and highly soluble metals are contained in numerous waste streams including those from power, chemical, electronics facilities, general manufacturing plants, and mining facilities. Lead, chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, and mercury are the most common metal contaminants found on remediation project sites (US EPA, October, 2000). Cyanide is a common ...

In situ Chemical Oxidation: An Innovative Groundwater Remediation Technology
A promising new technology, in situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO), has the potential to supplant the more widely used pump-and-treat groundwater remediation technology by destroying groundwater contamination in situ (in place). ISCO is the process of oxidizing contaminants in the groundwater and soil by injecting water containing high concentrations of an oxidant to the site of the contamination. ...

QED pumps are the pumps of choice at North America’s largest landfill - Case Study
The Puente Hills Landfill in Los Angeles County, California, is the largest operating landfill in North America based on daily tonnage received. Located in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County near Whittier, California, it is owned and operated by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. It has received approximately 118 million tons of solid waste as of April 2008, raising the ...

Analytical model for uni–directional flow passive soil vapour extraction system
An analytical one–dimensional model has been developed to examine the uni–directional barometric pumping in passive Soil Vapour Extraction (SVE) system. The model is applicable to a special case in which a radial flow field is insignificant. The system considered contains two unsaturated zone layers, an upper contaminated low permeability layer and a lower high permeability layer contains a well ...

In Situ Remediation Technology Status Report: Electrokinetics
The purpose of this document is to describe recent field demonstrations, commercial applications, and research on electrokinetics for either treatment of soil and ground water in situ or to increase the solubility and mobility of contaminants to improve their removal by pump-and-treat remediation. It is hoped that this information will allow more regular consideration of new, less costly, and ...

‘Smart’ flood alleviation system protects Portsmouth
In late 2014, Southern Water completed a major project to reduce the risk of sewer flooding in parts of Portsmouth and Southsea. Substantial works were undertaken to divert runoff and tidal ingress, and a ‘smart’ hydrometeorological monitoring system was installed to enable prompt diversion of excess water during periods of high rainfall. Sewer level monitoring is undertaken in ...

Modelling biological Cr(VI) reduction in aquifer microcosm column systems
Several chrome processing facilities in South Africa release hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) into groundwater resources. Pump-and-treat remediation processes have been implemented at some of the sites but have not been successful in reducing contamination levels. The current study is aimed at developing an environmentally friendly, cost-effective and self-sustained biological method to curb the ...
