In-Situ Anaerobic Bioremediation Design

FREE PRODUCT RECOVERY SYSTEM

An innovative technology process and device for detecting and recovering floating hydrocarbons from the surface of an aquifer.  It is installed in all monitoring wells showing the presence of floating free product without special tools, and does not require electricity. The systems great radius of influence allows free product to recover up to 30 gallons per day.

Soil and Groundwater Sampling and Monitoring
RISK ASSESSMENT AND RBCA (RISK-BASED CORRECTIVE ACTION) CLEAN UPS
  • Environmental, Ecological, Human Health Risk Assessment on the existing affected soil and/or groundwater and the possibility of impacting the neighborhood residential and ecological sensitive areas.
  • Analytical Fate and Transport Model using standard procedures outlined in the US EPA’s Risk Assessment Guidance.
  • Corrective actions consistent with industry standards,  ASTM 1739.
  • Risk Based Corrective Actions applied at Petroleum release and Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) sites.
  • Site Conceptual Models to estimate the potential exposure pathways, the fate and transport of  the chemical of concern at the site and receptors. 
  • Toxicity and Exposure Assessments
  • Acceptable Levels of Risk
  • Tiered Analysis
  • Risk Management
  • Site-Specific Estimation of  Natural Attenuation

“Risk-based corrective action is the integration of site assessment, remedial action selection, and monitoring with appropriate risk and exposure assessment practices”

 

Human Health Risk Assessment
•A qualitative and quantitative process for determining the chances for adverse health effects in people who may be exposed to environmental hazards.
•A means to develop chemical clean-up standards that are protective of human health.
•Provides Method for Allocation Resources Effectively Based on Site Risk.
 

 
Where can RBCA be applied?
•RBCA can be applied to any site where contaminants exist in the environment and decisions need to be made regarding protection of human health.
•Petroleum facilities, industrial  plants, TSD facilities, Solid Waste Landfills, Brownfields, LUST, etc.
 

 
BCA Advantages
•Decisions are based on reducing risk of adverse health effects.
•Assessment activities are focused on collecting only that information needed for risk assessment.
•Compliance can, in many cases, be achieved faster and at lower cost and still be protective to human health.
