Not long ago, there was much uncertainty over remediating subsurface contamination. Today, there is sufficient confidence to diagnose the site properly, choose the correct technology, and apply it full scale for a lump-sum price. In reality, however, no single technology is cost-effective at all sites. Site-specific geochemical factors, plume size, release timing, and geologic structural controls all influence the selection of the best technology for your site.
Whether you need to achieve monitored natural attenuation sooner than later, demonstrate mass reduction to a regulatory agency, or move quickly on a property transaction or brownfields development, the key to success is to identify the correct technologyówhich also means finding someone with expertise and full-scale experience in the major treatment technologies to provide an objective and accurate recommendation.
RMT has a strong resume related to characterization and remediation of chlorinated solvent releases. Our hands-on experience with each of these VOC treatment technologies listed below positions us to arrive at the optimal technology to cost effectively manage the most complex chlorinated solvent challenges:
- In situ chemical oxidation (persulfate, permanganate, ozone, etc.)
- Reductive dechlorination
- Zero-valent iron
- Air-sparging, ozone sparging, bioventing
- Methanotrophic cometabolism
- Phytoremediation
