The Trium Times : November 2023

WHEN THE NORTH CALLS

The coming of winter turns our thoughts towards the holidays, sleigh rides, hot chocolate and crisp winter days spend enjoying the outdoors, re-living our childhood dreams. For us at Trium Environmental, winter signals more than just the holiday season; It marks the begining of our remediation services up north. While not the most ideal time, it's a testament to our company's resilience. We take pride in our proactive planning, robust climate appropriate equipment, and skilled team, ensuring simple, safe, and effective solutions for complex environments. While many might shy away from the challenges of cold climate remediation, we are proud of our capacity to answer the call "easily", and do not take these opportunities lightly. We're currently actively engaged in services and design contracts with the governement and private stakeholders, offering injection and other services/designs for projects involving:

  • Enhanced in-situ bio-stimulation and oxygen optimization
  • Enahnced anaerobic source zone bio-remediation
  • Chemical oxidation using targeted oxidant blends
  • Permafrost reclamation(a novel emerging approach to construction in the north)
  • Service and design contracts for multiple government and private industry stakeholders.

One noteable ongoing project involves blending & injecting large volumes of hydrogen peroxide, at very strict flow and pressure rates into an aquifer along the Alaska highway. Another ongoing project involves a site in another province nearby that requires extreme precision and accuracy as it involves remediation beneath an existing structure. Our team's capacity to innovate on a large scale and accommodate the ever changing temperature and in-situ demands.

We're prooud of our work and appreciate collaborations with partners like Milestone Environmental Contracting and ERNCO Environmental.. We look forward to sunny beaches and pina-coladas but not until we conquer the Winter.

INTRASORP®: THE FUTURE NOW

We are pleased to offer more insight into the CC-ISCR product line Trium Environmental released. Intrasorp® AC is a suspension that contains specialized activated carbon colloids. With Intrasorp® AC we can create in-situ adsorption barriers in aquifers to quickly prevent the spreading of plumes or delimit the leaching of source zones with respect to a broad range of organic contaminants.

The Intrasorp® AC suspension shows a superior subsurface mobility during its injection, an irreversible deposition at the target zone with the use of a mobility agent & a pronounced adsorption capacity for organic contaminants like petroleum hydrocarbon, chlorinated solvent, pesticides, explosives residuals and even PFAS. The combination of this technology with bio-augmentation or bio-stimulation provides an optimal opportunity to maximize the power of natual processes & accelerated remediation timelines.

REMEDIATION 101

EX SITU REMEDIATION

This is a type of environmental remediation where contaminated material is treated outside it's original position. In this approach, the affected soil, water, or other media are physically removed and then treated onsite in designated treatment cells or is hauled to a treatment facility for processing. The contaminants are then treated or processed using various remediation techniques before the treated material is returned to the site or disposed of properly. The selection of ex-situ or in-situ remediation depends on site-specific factors, the nature of contaminants, and regulatory considerations.
