Texas Mold Inspections by Texas Licensed Mold Consultant with No Conflict of Interest
Texas Mold Inspections and Mold Remediation Many Texas Mold Assessment Consultants also do mold remediation. The Texas regulations on Licensed Mold Consultants do not prevent mold inspections and mold remediation being performed by the same organization. Clearly, this is a conflict of interest. Mold Remediation is far more lucrative than mold inspections in most cases. It is clear that most ...

Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Soil in Kazakhstan - Case Study
Project Description The project consisted of the bioremediation of soil contaminated with mineral oils and approximately 3% crude oil. The soil matrix consisted of a fine grain composition with high salt contents. Therefore, a special bioremediation process employing static regeneration had been developed. The remediation procedure also included the sensor assisted addition of air and steam ...

Sorption and resistant desorption of Atrazine in typical Chinese soils
Atrazine is one of the most commonly used herbicides and is produced and used in large quantity worldwide. In the present study, the sorption and desorption of atrazine in five typical Chinese soils were examined. The sorption of atrazine followed the conventional linear isotherm reasonably well, indicating that sorption was driven largely by hydrophobic partitioning into soil organic matter. ...

Another step towards making mercury history
econ industries is proud to announce the next project towards making mercury history: a delivery contract for a VacuDry® Unit going to India. A VacuDry® 3 000 plant will be deployed to clean-up mercury contaminated soil from a former factory. Due to the location of the factory and strict environmental regulations, an on-site remediation with highest cleaning efficiency was requested. The ...

Soil Remediation
Remediation (the action of reversing or stopping environmental damage) and health risk assessment are increasingly required by both industry and property developers as more is understood about risks from contaminated land, and regulations become more stringent. Remediation of an industrial site may be required when an environmental permit is surrendered, or following an accidental release ...

Case study – benzene contamination retail gas station, Colorado
Introduction The scope of work for this site included an expansion of an existing soil venting system to remediate impacted soil and injection of a carbon-based petroleum degrading product to remediate long-term groundwater impacts. By using a combination of remediation technologies, including LT Environmental’s (LTE) TerraCert™ program, the overall goal of a cost effective cleanup ...

Depth of the biologically active zone in upland habitats at the Hanford Site, Washington: Implications for remediation and ecological risk management
Soil invertebrates, mammals, and plants penetrate and exploit the surface soil layer (i.e., the biologically active zone) to varying depths. As the U.S. Department of Energy remediates radioactive and hazardous wastes in soil at the Hanford Site, a site‐specific definition of the biologically active zone is needed to identify the depth to which remedial actions should be taken to protect the ...

ETC Soil Remediation, A More Efficient Way to Treat Explosives-Contaminated Soil.
When industries are ready to restore sites contaminated with explosives-impacted soil, they can cut their timeline in half — while staying on budget — by choosing to deploy advanced technology that’s proven to outpace traditional soil remediation methods.In the U.S., it’s estimated there are over 1.2 million tons of explosives-impacted soil contaminated sites. It goes without saying that this ...

Integration of Subsurface Data Management and GIS to Facilitate Model Calibration
Abstract The development of numerical codes, as well as pre- and post-processors to support these codes, has made the discipline of groundwater modelling increasingly more automated and efficient. The value of such modelling is reliant on the site-specific data used to build and calibrate the models. The integration of EarthSoft's EQuISÒ Geology and any of several popular modelling environments ...
