CHEMICAL OXIDATION (CHEMOX^®)

Chemical oxidation is an effective, rapid remediation technique to address organic pollutants. We are experts in ChemOx^® applications using various oxidants including hydrogen peroxide, persulfate, and permanganate.

Oxidants works by donating an electron and safely ** degrade/destroy** the contaminant. Our ChemOx^® solutions provide a clean remediation approach with high oxidant efficencies, rapid destruction capacities, and cost effectiveness.

The ChemOx® approach can be applied at sites with pollutants such as:

Petroleum Hydrocarbons

Volatile Organic Compounds
Phenols
Solvents & Chlorinated Compounds
Aliphatics, pesticides, PCB's

CHEMICAL
REDUCTION

Chemical reduction is an effective remediation technique to address organic pollutants.

Reductants works by accepting an electron and safely degrade/destroy the contaminant. Our expertise with reductants including zero valent iron (ZVI) allows us to ensure the right reductant is applied for the situation.

Chemical reduction can be applied at sites with pollutants such as:

Volatile Organic Compounds
Solvents & Chlorinated Compounds
Aliphatics, pesticides, PCB's, Chlorobenzenes

IN-SITU CHEMICAL REDUCTION (ISCR)

ISCR involves injecting the chemical reductants, typically as a slurry, directly into the contaminated medium (soil or groundwater) to destroy the contaminants in place.

We are experts in various injection methods including high and low pressure applications.

EX-SITU CHEMICAL REDUCTION (ESCR)
ESCR involves mechanically mixing the chemical reductants with the contaminated soil to create required reductive conditions and destroy the contaminants.

We are experts in various methods including slurries or solids in full scale or targeted applications, such as permeable reactive barriers.

BIOREMEDIATION

Bioremediation involves the application of biological amendments or microbes to remediate soil and groundwater. It is an ecofriendly and often cost efficient remediation technology. The optimization of microbial populations to ensure effective remediation requires the integration of scientific and engineering solutions.

Through Trium’s feasibility and remediation design capabilities, clients can leverage our expertise and experience to determine the effectiveness of various bioremediation solutions.

BIOSTIMULATION
Biostimulation involves stimulatating existing bacteria that are capable of bioremediation and are already adapted to the site conditions. This can be done by adding or adjusting various conditions and rate limiting aspects such as phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, or carbon.

BIOAUGMENTATION
Bioaugmentation involves the introduction of a consortium of natural occuring or specialized microbial strains to enhance treatment of contaminated soil or water. This is typically considered when native microbes are unable to treat the contaminants and is also done with support of Biostimulation.

STABILIZATION & SEQUESTRATION

Heavy metals and organic contaminants can pose risks to the environment through migration and leaching from soil into surface water or groundwater. They can also be taken up by plants and vegetation.

Stabilization and Sequestration supports the use of risk based remediation by amending soils to capture or bind the contamination in place and prevent exposure. Our unique solutions ensure that the soil and water maintains functional and effective re-use capacity.

Application methods include:

Soil Washing and Contaminant Seperation
In place Mixing and Soil Stabilization
In-situ Injection and Water Treatment
Ex-situ Water Treatment Systems

STABILIZATION
Stabilization involves reducing the pollutants ability to partition from soil into water or biota, and thus their potential for transport and toxicity. The aim of stabilization is to target the contaminant as opposed to solidification which targets and changes the soil conditions. It can be achieved through direct application to the soil, whether on surface, in-place or in-situ as a permeable reactive barrier (PRB).

SEQUESTRATION
Sequestration involves precipitating the pollutants from within the groundwater and thus preventing transport and exposure. Sequestration creates a stable adsorbed or complexed scenario and preserves the aquifer conditions. It is typically achieved through in-situ injection or by emplacing transecting permeable reactive barriers (PRB).

SOIL WASHING
Soil washing is a treatment process that uses physical separation and chemical desorption techniques to remove contaminants in soil. This technology allows for recovery of the majority of the soil and is highly effective in large scale treatment systems.

ACTIVATED CARBON

Activated carbon is an adsorption technology for various contaminants and is an effective tool to support the use of risk based remediation or risk management. Organic contamiants such as petroleum hydrocarbons are often targeted with this technology.

The contaminant adsorbs to the carbon and binds it in place to prevent migration and other exposure. Our unique solutions ensure adsorption but also create ideal risk assessment conditions by enhancment of soil or aquifer characteristics such as total organic carbon.

Application methods for slurries or solids include:

Permeable Reactive Barriers
In place Mixing
In-situ Injection
Ex-situ Soil Amendment

FEASIBILITY
& REMEDIATION DESIGN

EXCO^® Remediation Performance

Bench Scale & Treatability Testing: We provide in-house testing to determine the effectiveness of various treatment approaches and then estimate the optimal strategy and dosing that would be required for your site conditions. Through benchscale testing, we can assess if various amendments can further promote remediation success, even at sites that may have "stalled". Testing can be applied for all of our service lines, such as bioremediation, chemical remediation, and, depending on scale, thermal remediation.

Natural Oxidant Demand (NOD) Testing: The application of an oxidant to soil and groundwater has the potential to be naturally consumed, which is known as Natural Oxidant Demand (NOD). Our in house lab provides this testing and can determine the potential consumption of these oxidants by the soil. Understanding a sites NOD is a key parameter to ensure successful ChemOx^® remediation.

Customized Remediation Design: No two sites are the same and we ensures that every site is evaluated through a customized framework. Using our science and data evaluation background we assess your data to ensure we know the specific conditions and limitations of the site. We work alongside our clients to develop a remediation program that includes one or more of our services offerings in order to help meet the final objective.

COMMERCIALIZATION

We are driven by constant improvement and are always innovating and evolving to develop new technologies for the remediation of contaminated sites. We are currently in pre-commercialization or commercialization stage.

Soil Restoration Technology (SRT™)

Target: Heavy Metals Soil Stabilization

Heavy metals stabilization product for use with contaminated soils. Sequesters metals without altering soil properties and enhances re-vegetation. Also effective for preventing or reducing leachate from highly impacted soils in disposal or risk management situations. Effective on a wide range of transitional metals.

Metals Sequestration Approach (MSA)

Target: Heavy Metals Groundwater Remediation

Heavy metals stabilization approach for use with contaminated groundwater. A soluble product is injected and precipitated in the aquifer that creates an “inner sphere complexation” to remove metals from within groundwater. Creates a stable, pH tolerant precipitate preventing groundwater dispersion and plume migration. Effective on a wide range of transitional metals.

Thermal Reaction Enhanced Extraction (TREX)

Target: Organic Contaminant Soil/Sludge Remediation

Integrated soils remediation and high value fluids recovery technology using proprietary enhancement amendment and concentrated, efficient heating techniques. Currently in development in China.
