  1. Presented by: Larry Kinsman ORIN Remediation Technologies “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” Experiences of Chemical Oxidation and Why

  2. Overview • Site Evaluation • Bench Testing • Implementation • The Chemistries and Case Studies • Health and Safety • Pricing

  3. Site Evaluation • Determining if the site is a good fit for treatment • Type of soils • Type of contaminant • Type of subsurface conditions (geochemistry, anaerobic or aerobic) • Which approach is best? (bioremediation, chemical oxidation) • Type of implementation (in-situ, ex-situ, or a combination)

  4. Conditions that Require Special Consideration Low permeable soils Deep aquifers and very shallow aquifers LNAPL / DNAPL Confined formations High organic soils Old landfills and dumps River embankments Under buildings Source: ITRC's In Situ Chemical Oxidation of Contaminated Soil and Groundwater Second Edition (ISCO-2, 2005) available from www.itrcweb.org

  5. Implementation The Keys to Success! Delineation! Delineation! Delineation! • Leads to the Right chemistry • Leads to the Proper Implementation

  6. Bench Testing • Verify contaminant removal • Test natural oxidant demand (NOD) requirement • Assess effect of treatment on secondary water quality (e.g. pH, dissolved iron, mobilization of metals) • Assess attenuation of secondary parameters

  7. Column Tests

  8. Fenton’s and Persulfate Test Setup

  9. What Lab Testing Cannot Do Perfectly simulate field conditions Can’t determine exact amount of reagent needed Can’t predict the exact degree of change in a secondary parameter Predict exactly how long secondary effects will last Promise perfect results in the field Applicability of bench test results depends upon how well test soil / groundwater represents the site Success of ISCO depends upon skill and experience of field remediation team

  10. Implementation Processes Ex-situ - Above ground treatmentof contaminants In-situ - In place treatment of contaminants

  11. Ex-Situ Applications Backhoe mixing

  12. TROMMEL SCREENER • Used for: • - Soil screening • and addition of soil amendments • - Best suited for large scale jobs

  13. Mixing Head

  14. Types of subsurface in-situ techniques • Grouted in injection points • Backhoe mixing • Auger/ Grinder mixing • Direct Push

  21. Treatment Approaches • Chemical Oxidation • Reductive Dechlorination • Bioremediation

  22. The Oxidation Chemistries • Hydrogen Peroxide with Acid Water (pH dependent) • Klozur® Sodium Persulfate • Ozone • Calcium Peroxide • Permanganate (not pH dependent) • Fenton’s Reagent (pH dependent)

  23. Reductive Dechlorination • Zero Valent Iron • Lactic Acid • Soy Bean Oil • Combinations

  24. Bioremediation • PermeOx® Plus , EHC-O, Regenesis ORC ® Advanced “Slow release oxygenating compound” • Combination of oxidants - Klozur® ENA • ISOC’s gas diffusion devices

  25. Case Histories:Bench-, Pilot- and Full-Scale

  26. Case Studies - Background The case studies presented here represent both petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents. While this trend for Chemox of petroleum hydrocarbons exists, these following case studies offer reasons why scale-up testing can be valuable and should be considered as a useful, cost-effective step in scaling up the design of Chemox systems targeting petroleum.

  27. Case Study #1Property RedevelopmentPilot-Scale

  28. General Information Successful bench and pilot scale project Bench-scale soil tested for TOD Pilot-scale testing parameters, based upon TOD, was implemented: Old dumping area Soil: Sand with trace silts Depth of contamination: 20 to 55 feet Contaminants: Creosote, BTEX, and Naphthalene Oxidant injected 25% Klozur® Sodium Persulfate Number of injection points: 8 Number of days of injecting: 2

  29. Groundwater Results Units ppb

  30. Case Study # 2Site Redevelopment

  31. General Information Unsuccessful pilot-scale testing Bench-scale testing of soil for TOD successfully completed, and design criteria established for pilot-scale test Abandon Manufacturing Facility Soil: Clay Depth of contamination: 20 to 35 feet Contaminants: PCE and TCE Chemical injected :Hydrogen Peroxide and Sodium Persulfate Number of injection points: 16

  32. Groundwater Results

  33. Case Study # 3Property Transaction Site

  34. General Information Successful field implementation -Bench test successfully completed Oil Refinery (pipeline leak) Soil: silty clay Depth of contamination: 4 to 13 feet Contaminants: BTEX Calcium Peroxide and Sodium Persulfate injected 15% to 40% (Klozur® ENA) Number of injection points: 35 Number of days on injecting: 3

  35. Groundwater Results Units ppm

  36. Case Study # 4 Successful bench-scale testing of soil containing petroleum hydrocarbons and lead Soil sample was tested for TOD Successful treatment of lead noted, but natural oxidant demand was high, resulting in the need for multiple oxidant injections to overcome the oxidant demand and to achieve satisfactory petroleum hydrocarbon reductions Due to background oxidant demand needing to be overcome in order to reduce COC levels, Chemox at this site was not a costs-effective option Dig & haul was a more cost-effective option offering assurance that all COC were removed from the site

  37. Case Study #5Industrial Clean-upPilot-Scale

  38. General Information Mixed results for pilot scale activities Successful reduction under the building Currently, no reduction down-gradient injection area Plume over 1 mile in length (injection areas ½ mile apart) Soil: Fine to medium sands with silt and clay lenses Depth of contamination: 15 to 30 feet Contaminants: TCE, DCE, VC (exhibited reducing conditions at both areas) Chemistry: EOS® Number of injection points: 22 DPT points outside and seven 4” PVC recovery wells inside building Number of days of injecting: 3

  39. Groundwater Results Reducing conditions under building Adequate bacteria count 85% reduction of TCE Ethene observed post injection at 24X original concentration Reducing conditions under building Low to non-detect bacteria count little reduction of TCE Ethene observed non-detect pre- and post-injection Low fatty acid count (only acetic acid detected)

  42. Health and Safety • Review of site conditions (utility corridor, constituents, surrounding land use) • Site-specific Health and Safety Plan • Subsurface mixing of reactive chemicals • Health and Safety audits

  43. Oxidizing Chemistries:Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Concerns • Read & understand material safety datasheets (MSDS) prior to material handling (reference MSDS websites as needed) • Potential hazard risks to mitigate and avoid: • extreme contact risk, especially to eyes • Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a must • Readily available eyewash / shower • inhalation and dermal contact • Ensure oxidants compatibility with equipment and materials • Store and protect oxidants (heat/cold & sun/rain, as appropriate) • Develop site-specific Health and Safety Plans (HASPs) in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 guidance • Enforce HASP requirements for everyone on-site!

  44. Oxidizing Chemistries:HSE Concerns Investigate, characterize and understand your site and surrounding area! • Complete a competent receptor survey • Evaluate potential migration pathways • Utility corridors, particularly underground • Potential conduits for vapors & liquids transport • Geologic/Hydrogeologic fractures • Consider surface runoff discharge points & ultimate discharge • Weather patterns • Precipitation collection basins & run-off routes • Infrastructure concerns • Buildings, roadways, underground piping, sewers, wells • UST systems and underground piping/pumps • Overhead hazards • Evaluate current infrastructure elements’ integrity

  45. Oxidizing Chemistries:HSE Concerns • Available on-site space • Working space for remediation equipment • Traffic patterns • People • Vehicles • Site accessibility • On-site personnel, public, visitors • Emergency vehicles • Ingress/Egress routes, primary and alternates • Hospital options & routes • All on-site personal should have up-to-date OSHA, First Aid, and First-Responder training • On-site HASP read, communicated, and signed by all on-site personnel and visitors
