Soil Vapor Extraction | Technology Description

Soil Vapor Extraction
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

Remediation of a former industrial site, 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.

Remediation of a Former Marine Terminal, Southern California

Dig and Haul Projects After a marine terminal was demolished, several site assessments revealed that soil and groundwater at the site were affected with petroleum hydrocarbons and lead. An interim remedial action plan (IRAP), a remedial action plan (RAP), and a sampling and analysis plan (SAP) were prepared and implemented to protect harbor water, and remediate the site.

Groundwater Remediation using Air Sparge | Pilot Testing, Design, Construction, and Operation

Air sparge is an in situ groundwater remediation technology which uses vertical or horizontal wells to transfer a continuous or pulsed flow air into the groundwater. The purpose of air sparge system is to reduce the concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwater through enhanced volatilization, and mass transfer of VOCs and oxygen.

Advanced Oxidation using Ultraviolet Light and Hydrogen Peroxide

Advanced oxidation systems using hydrogen peroxide (peroxide) and ultraviolet (UV) light are designed to inject hydrogen peroxide in controlled ratios to the water, then mixing the peroxide, and exposing the water and peroxide solution to UV radiation to form hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Peroxide and hydroxyl radicals are strong oxidizing agents capable of oxidizing 1,4-dioxane and several volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The advanced oxidation process is suitable for groundwater remediation with pump-and-treat, water treatment, and industrial wastewater treatment. Treatment with UV/Peroxide may offer technical advantages over ozone based treatment systems.
