Emerging Cleanup Technology (9/14/2016)
Description: Aimed at state and tribal corrective action employees, this webinar will provide participants with information on:
- High Vacuum Dual Phase Extraction
- Activated Carbon Injection
Webinar Recording
Webinar Presentations:
High Vacuum Dual Phase Extraction - Noel Shenoi, CalClean, Inc.
Activated Carbon Injection - Tom Fox, CO Division of Oil and Public Safety; Edward Winner, KY UST Branch
Smart Characterization - The New Era of Site Investigations.
This is a two hour recorded webinar that consists of the following topics:
- Smart Characterization and Return on Investigation: Newly developed tools and strategies for mapping source zones and dissolved-phase plumes. Using high-resolution, Smart characterization strategies to reduce total life-cycle costs of restoration by 3x-5x
- Stratigraphic Flux: A new classification system that enables one to extend sequence stratigraphy to understand transport and restoration potential and improve restoration performance. The approach maps relative mass flux and plume maturity using high-resolution characterization data and classical geology interpretation.
- A new approach to NAPL Management: leveraging return-on-investigation and stratigraphic flux approaches to develop digital NAPL CSMs, and determine when to manage and when to remediate NAPL. Topics will include advanced NAPL mapping methods, how to evaluate NAPL mobility and risk, and how inclusion of natural source zone depletion in the NAPL CSM is critical to practical restoration decisions.
The training was led by Arcadis experts in ROI (Return on Investigation) and Smart Characterization:
Nick Welty, director of Site Investigations for North America, and Rick Ahlers, global lead for NAPL Management.
For a full abstract, please see the attached PDF Smart Characterization.
