Transforming Environmental Challenges: Innovative Solutions for Crude Oil Contaminated Soil Recycling
In the intricate web of environmental stewardship, the challenge of crude oil-contaminated soil stands as a testament to the pressing need for transformative solutions. In this narrative of remediation, the spotlight gracefully shifts towards cutting-edge technologies, particularly the role of a pyrolysis plant and its specialized counterpart, the oil sludge pyrolysis plant. The Landscape of ...

Five Things you Need to Know About PFAS and How to Effectively Treat These Chemicals
PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” have been around for more than half a century, but have recently started making headlines for the harm they cause to the environment and to human health. PFAS are seemingly everywhere and in everything, so now the big question is: how do we get rid of them? In this article, we break down everything you need to know about PFAS, the best way ...

Bioboom - The containment and remediation solution for oil spills
OIL SPILL CONTAINMENT AND REMEDIATION BIOBOOMS® act by containing a spreading spill while the PRP® inside captures hydrocarbons and ultimately facilitating natural microbes consuming it and eliminating it entirely. Whether the spill is in open water, a marina, a holding pond or a river, BIOBOOM® hold the spill in place while the PRP® works, facilitating the degradation of the oil ...

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 ...

Stevens enhances groundwater remediation effectiveness - Case Study
The Stevens HydraProbe is now being used to monitor the progress of a new groundwater pollution clean up method called phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is the method by which trees are used to pull contamination out of groundwater. Remediation of contaminated aquifers can take many years to complete. The need for clean, healthy rivers, lakes and streams has stimulated ...

Methods for the control of oil vapour emissions
There are many oil vapours to discharge from oil containers into the atmosphere in oil operations (such as storage and loading). Two basic concepts are discussed regarding the control of oil vapour emission (OVE). The first is to invent active methods to restrain the OVE. The second is to develop passive tail–end remediation technologies to control the released vapour. Oil vapour recovery ...

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. ...

Biological Treatment Technologies
Decontamination companies and researchers in France are working to restore polluted soil using treatments that range from biological methods to soil washing and incineration. The problem of polluted soil was dramatically illustrated prior to construction of the Stade de France soccer stadium built for the 1998 World Cup. The location of the site, on industrial wasteland just north of Paris, ...

Phytoremediation - II
Introduction: Phytoremediation is a set of processes that uses plants to clean contamination in ground water and surface water. There are several ways plants can be used for the phytoremediation. These mechanisms include enhanced rhizosphere biodegradation, hydraulic control, phyto-degradation and phyto-volatilization. Enhanced Rhizosphere Biodegradation Enhanced rhizosphere biodegradation ...

Containment for Ground Water, Surface Water, And Leachate
Containment measures are often performed to prevent, or significantly reduce, the migration of contaminants in soils or ground water. Containment is necessary whenever contaminated materials are to be buried or left in place at a site. In general, containment is performed when extensive subsurface contamination at a site precludes excavation and removal of wastes because of potential hazards ...

Common Treatment Technologies for Fuels in Soil, Sediment, and Sludge
Common treatment technologies for fuels in soil, sediment, and sludge include biodegradation, incineration, SVE, and low temperature thermal desorption. Incineration is typically used when chlorinated SVOCs are also present with fuel, and not specified for fuel-only contaminated soil, sediment, or sludge. All types of biodegradation, both in situ or ex situ, can be used to remediate soils: in ...

Common Treatment Technologies for Nonhalogenated SVOCs in Soil, Sediment, and Sludge
Common treatment technologies for nonhalogenated SVOCs in soil, sediment, and sludge include biodegradation, incineration, and excavation with off-site disposal. All types of biodegradation, both in situ or ex situ, can be considered to remediate soils: in situ bioremediation, bioventing, composting, controlled solid phase, or landfarming. Slurry phase biological treatment is also applicable ...
