Soil Vapor Extraction | Technology Description
Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) is an in situ remediation technology designed to remediate soils impacted with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including gasoline, and chloroethenes. This technology works by extracting soil vapor at a high vacuum using subsurface wells, then treating the soil vapor prior to discharge.

Dual-Phase Extraction System: Permitting, Design, Construction, and Operation | Industrial Redevelopment Berkeley, CA
The soil and groundwater at a former industrial building located in Berkeley, California were affected with trichloroethene and gasoline. A dual-phase extraction system was permitted, designed, and constructed for site remediation. The site underwent remediation while the developer remodeled and repurposed nearly 500,000 square feet for commercial, retail, office, and light industrial uses.

Lubricant Oil Spill Response, South Gate, California
An emergency cleanup response was executed after 7,000 gallons of lubricant oil were released. The release occurred as a result of railroad tank car colliding with a road tanker. The release affected soils in the vicinity of the incident, and impacted a nearby storm drain.

Feasibility Study for Management of Waste Activated Sludge, Manitoba, Canada
A food processor was experiencing low hydraulic residence times at one of their anaerobic digesters during the discharge of waste activated sludge. a feasibility study identified that the most cost-effective option was to thicken and anaerobically treat thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS) in a new digester designed specifically for that purpose.
