Improving the Predictability of Petroleum Brownfield Restoration
It’s no secret that the United States has an aging infrastructure problem. The public’s attention is focused on the repair of roadways and bridges, but there is also an ongoing initiative to address the existing infrastructure of legacy underground storage tanks, abandoned gas stations and truck stops, that are designated petroleum brownfields. As of July 2021, approximately 21 ...

Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Remediation
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms and are the building blocks of many fossil fuels. Petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and oil, are major sources of hydrocarbons. Spills or leaks of these products can result in soil contamination, and if left unaddressed, can have significant environmental and health impacts. In this article, we will discuss the ...

Case Study - Crude oil and refinery waste
For years refinery and oil field waste had been dumped into the marsh adjacent to a large residential community. The waste oil had also started seeping into the local groundwater. The area included three large ponds including a bermed area, 3 meters deep, containing a mixture of 60% oil-tar in water. The total area held approximately 3,400 cubic meters (m3) of contaminated soil and sludge ...

Successful In Situ Remediation of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils in South Africa
Location: PepsiCo Frito-Lay Simba Isando, Gauteng, South Africa Use of the vehicle workshop area at the Frito-Lay Simba Isando plant was discontinued due to outsourcing of the distribution chain. An area in front of the wash bay bordered by the workshop and boundary walls had been heavily contaminated by hydrocarbon. This contamination was a mix of petroleum (PRO) and diesel (DRO) range organics ...

MICROBE-LIFT® Technology Helps Remediate TPH Contaminated Soils in Georgia and Tennessee - WASTEWATER TREATMENT
PCS Nitrogen, a business unit of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, is one of the largest producers of nitrogen worldwide. It produces nitrogen fertilizers and feed ingredients from three manufacturing facilities in the US and one in Trinidad. When they experienced heavy contamination of soils with hydrocarbon and TPH compounds at two of their facilities, they utilized Ecological ...

The METS Process in Brief/2019
The METS remediation process equipment is about the size of a large SUV. It is fully mobile and self-propelled. Previously excavated soil is deposited in the hopper at the top of the apparatus by a conventional front-end loader. Very large debris, such as rock, concrete or asphalt, is usually screened off at the hopper opening. From the hopper, the soil is transferred in a regulated flow to a ...

Bartoline Factory, Beverley - Case Study
CLIENT: C.R Reynolds (Construction) RECLAMATION STRATEGY: ex-situ E-Clay Stabilisation / Solidification CONTAMINATION: TPH END USE: Commercial Site Overview Envirotreat were employed to remediate contaminated soils at a site in Beverley, East Yorkshire. The Bartoline Factory occupied a 3.5acre site until May 2003 when a major fire destroyed the building, resulting in ground contamination ...

Mobilization assessment and possibility of increased availability of PAHs in contaminated soil using column tests
Surfactants are well known to increase solubility/mobility of hydrocarbons and can be used to remediate contaminated water and soil. We wanted to explore if Ivey sol R 106 used at less than the critical micelle concentration (CMC) could effectively mobilize PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) from contaminated soil. The first step was to establish a measurement technique. Hence, a column ...

99% of Oil from Leaking tanks remediated - Case study
Spills and leaks from domestic and commercial oil tanks are a very common occurrence, caused either by the refilling of tanks or as the result of leaks. Very often old metal tanks corrode and start leaking oil onto the ground around the tank. Also the tanks themselves become covered in dried hydrocarbons and become significantly discoloured, even black. Spilled oil can seep into the ground, ...
