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.

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.

Ion Exchange Systems for Removal of Metals and Inorganics

Description Ion Exchange is a process in which ions of a species are displaced from an insoluble exchange material (ion exchange resin) by ions of a different species in water. The removal of target ions is achieved through commercially available … Continue reading
