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 ...

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 ...

Urban and Soil Remediation
Urban and Soil 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 ...

Wireless Real-Time Soil Data from Stevens Hydra Probe Soil Sensors Used In Contaminated Soil Cleanup Operation
Up until the early 1970s when The US Congress passed The Clean Water Act, industrial chemicals and petroleum products were routinely dumped onto the ground or poured down wells. In those days, few people understood groundwater hydrology, and disposing of chemical waste underground seemed like a safe and easy solution. Depending on the chemistry, underground pollution can linger for centuries, ...

An investigation and remediation of TNT contaminated soils.
An investigation and remediation of TNT contaminated soils and wastes was conducted at the Apache Powder Superfund Site in Cochise County, Arizona during 1999 and 2000. TNT contamination was most likely the result of salvage operations of World War I munitions. Characterized by a steep hillside and arroyo cutting through the wastes, the site offered challenges of stability, access, health and ...

Vibration Monitors Help Protect Property During Remediation
Vibration instrumentation on hire from Ashtead Technology helped a firm of engineering contractors to ensure that remediation of contaminated land did not incur costly structural damage to nearby properties. Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 aims to identify land affected by contamination that presents an unacceptable risk in its present state. If such land is identified, Part 2A ...

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 ...

Enhanced Bioremediation
Introduction Enhanced bioremediation is a process in which indigenous or inoculated micro-organisms (e.g., fungi, bacteria, and other microbes) degrade (metabolize) organic contaminants found in soil and/or ground water, converting them to innocuous end products. Nutrients, oxygen, or other amendments may be used to enhance bioremediation and contaminant desorption from subsurface materials. ...
