Marshall Iron and Metal BOS 200+ - Case Study
Marshall Iron & Metal in the City of Marshall, Michigan, operated as a railroad maintenance yard from 1899 to 1931 and a foundry from 1938 to 1960. Most recently, it served as an auto salvage/metal scrapyard from 1961 to 1996. Excavation and disposal of soil and debris were completed in the fall of 2015. During these activities, light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) was observed in an ...

Strontium dating of foraminifera, shells & corals
Strontium dating (as enabled by the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of marine carbonates) can be used to date various marine samples based on the premise that the mixing of oceanic strontium occurs relatively rapidly through time compared to the residence time of oceanic strontium. This creates a uniform global marine 87Sr/86Sr ratio at a given point in time; the fluctuations over millions of years represent a ...

Air Pollution Part 2 – Sources of Gaseous Substances
Air pollutants are effectively either specific gas-phase molecules or small solid-phase particles suspended in the air. The latter are as a collective referred to as particulates. Let’s take a closer look at the origins of gaseous pollutants. Many anthropogenic activities give rise to gaseous air pollutants, but there are also a few natural sources. Stationary and Mobile Combustion ...

How Residual Gas Analysis (RGA) Factors into Leak Detection
Leak detection is an essential aspect of vacuum operations, underlying critical performance indicators like cost, efficiency, and safety. Extraordinary effort has been made to engineer leak-tight systems capable of inducing and maintaining different vacuum regimes without significant loss of pressure due to leaks. Yet no system is perfect. Even the highest-quality chambers, gaskets, pumping ...

What Role Does Gas Chromatography Play in Analytical Chemistry?
Analytical chemistry is a complex discipline that focuses on extracting information about the composition and structure of samples using advanced techniques. Generally speaking, these samples must be separated into their component parts for identification and quantification. Thus, separative techniques like gas chromatography (GC) are central to the field. Both qualitative and quantitative ...

Confirming Remediation Effectiveness GeoTrax Survey - Case Study
Our GeoTrax Survey technology was used to verify the effectiveness of 10 years and ~$1.4M worth of investigation, pump/treat, surfactant flushing, and oxidizing compound injection. The GeoTrax SurveyTM detected “blobs” of LNAPL (gasoline) remaining between remediation wells as shown above. An EPA managed boring program confirmed the survey results; samples were collected from each ...
