Former admixed drilling sump at an abandoned wellsite. Soil impacts were from 1 meter below grade (mbg) to 3 mbg, consisting primarily of toluene.
Access road to the site was partially reclaimed, which limited the remedial options available (ie/ limiting truck transport of contaminants).
Impacted soils were excavated and an Allu bucket was used to homogenize soils and break up large soil clumps. The blended hydrogen peroxide was applied directly to the soil while the excavator was flipping and kneading the soil. A total of 5,000 litres of blended 20% EHP (enhanced hydrogen peroxide) oxidant was applied on the soil for treatment.
A pipeline release at an active multi-well pad in Central Alberta required remediation due to BTEX, F1, F2, and PAH contamination in 2,000 m³ of impacted soil and groundwater, with remediation timeframes limited by site conditions. A staged risk-based in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) approach was implemented with a 3-meter injection radius, involving the installation of 52 injection wells and five permeable reaction trenches to facilitate groundwater extraction and oxidant circulation. A total of 17,500 liters of 12% EHP (enhanced hydrogen peroxide) was injected using TRIUM’s ChemOx® process, with injections timed during frost-cap months to maintain pressure. Results show a well-defined and shrinking plume, significant source area concentration reductions, and an approximate 90% decrease in PHC and PAH concentrations since project inception.
