Advanced Oxidation using Ultraviolet Light and Hydrogen Peroxide
Advanced oxidation systems using hydrogen peroxide (peroxide) and ultraviolet (UV) light are designed to inject hydrogen peroxide in controlled ratios to the water, then mixing the peroxide, and exposing the water and peroxide solution to UV radiation to form hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Peroxide and hydroxyl radicals are strong oxidizing agents capable of oxidizing 1,4-dioxane and…

Feasibility Study, Remediation of Oxygenate Impacted Groundwater, Retail Gas Station, California
A gas station located in Southern California had contaminated the groundwater with oxygenates. The client was in need to contain plume of MTBE and TBA, which was migrating to an environmentally sensitive area. A feasibility study evaluating nine remediation scenarios was conducted to identify the best remediation option.

Feasibility Study for Treatment of Produced Water, Oil and Gas Client, Orange County, California
The site is an active oil and natural gas production property that currently re-injects approximately 135,000 barrels per day (BPD) of produced water. As a result of limited reinjection capacity, the facility was required to treat and discharge up to 30,000 BPD of produced water to the sewer system. Produced water required treatment to comply…

Peer Review of Technical Specifications and Design, Remediation of a Waterfront Property, Long Beach, California
The soil and groundwater at a waterfront property were heavily impacted with VOCs including chlorinated hydrocarbons. A remedial action plan outlined remediation activities at the Site consisting of soil excavation, offsite thermal treatment, soil disposal, and installation/operation of remediation systems. A peer review of technical specifications and design was commissioned to check for errors…

Bench Scale Testing of Advanced Oxidation for MTBE
The Merced County of Environmental Health office ordered a gas station located in Los Banos, California to mitigate a plume of MTBE. To mitigate the MTBE in groundwater, an advanced oxidation system was proposed for the site. A pilot test was performed to assess the impact of ozone on naturally occurring chromium in soil at…
