Iron Fouling Problem Solved with Mobile Pretreatment
This client operates a groundwater treatment facility at a Super Fund site where groundwater is pumped to a VOC stripper for the removal of TCE which is then re-injected into the aquifer.A High iron levels in the groundwater caused fouling of pumps, pipes and well casings.A This fouling threatened...

Remedies For the Fouling of Oilsorb and Carbon By: Calcium and Iron (.pdf)
Groundwater contains calcium, magnesium, manganese and iron. The most prevalent compounds are: CaCO3 and CaSO4; Mg (OH)2 and MgCO3; MnO (OH)2 and Fe(OH) 3.When calcium and magnesium compounds exceed their solubility limits, they begin to precipitate immediately regardless of pH. Iron and manganese...

Part II: Organoclays Improve Performance of Pump and Treat Remediation Systems
had experienced breakthrough at that point. At another site the groundwater was contaminated with 100 ppm of fuel oil, 10 ppm of BTEX compounds, and 90 ppm of heavier PNA's including anthrazine, napthalene, paraffin and waxes. Originally two activated carbon tanks were installed, but the GAC had...

Precise Inputs for a Cleaner Environment
Quality Is Improving James S. Schepers, an ARS soil nitrogen expert at Lincoln, Nebraska, says that groundwater in the Platte River Valley has less nitrate and pesticides in it today because of the program. Nitrate-nitrogen levels in the groundwater have been reduced from 30 parts per million (ppm...

Using Organoclays for Efficient Dewatering (.pdf)
Organoclays have been used as a pre-polisher for activated carbon or as a post-polisher for oil/water separators and dissolved air flotation units for the removal of small amounts of oil, grease, PCB, PNA, BTX and other organic hydrocarbons of low solubility for cleanup of groundwater...

Using Organoclays to Enhance Carbon Filtration
Organoclays have found increased acceptance as pre-treatment for activated carbon adsorption systems in both groundwater and wastewater cleanup. The reason is that activated carbon tends to become quickly blinded by large organic molecules of low solubility, particularly oils. However, it is also...
