In Situ Chemical Oxidation
ABS: ISCO is usually used to treat soil and groundwater contamination in the source area where contaminants were originally released. The source area may contain contaminants that have not yet dissolved into groundwater. Chemical oxidation uses chemicals called “oxidants” to help change harmful contaminants into less toxic ones. It is commonly described as “in situ” … Continue reading
Thermal Conduction Heating
Company Informaiton:Click What is Thermal Conduction? Thermal conduction is the process of heat flowing from the hot end of a solid object (like an iron rod) to the cold end. In soil or rock, heat flows from heater wells out into the formation by grain-to-grain contact (in soil) and across solid objects (rocks). The fluids … Continue reading
In Situ Chemical Reduction
What Is In Situ Chemical Reduction? In situ chemical reduction, or “ISCR,” uses chemicals called “reducing agents” to help change contaminants into less toxic or less mobile forms. It is described as “in situ” because it is conducted in place, without having to excavate soil or pump groundwater above ground for cleanup. ISCR can … Continue reading
In Situ Flushing
Abs: In situ flushing involves flooding a zone of contamination with an appropriate solution to remove the contaminant from the soil. Water or a liquid solution is injected or infiltrated into the area of contamination. The contaminants are mobilized by solubilization, formation of emulsions, or a chemical reaction with the flushing solutions. After passing … Continue reading
