By: Kleinfelder The newly patented process relies on an underground treatment system consisting of a network of injection and extraction wells with pre-emplaced emulsified vegetable oil or other appropriate reagent. Untreated groundwater is conveyed through the treatment system whereby contaminants undergo bioremediation (or chemical oxidation, depending on reagent selection). The treatment system is smaller in area than the plume and can be located in easy-to-access areas with appropriate soil types, and at convenient depths. “Groundwater contamination is often widespread, difficult to access through traditional remediation technologies, and expensive,” said Edward (Ted) Tyler, a principal professional at Kleinfelder and inventor of the new process. “The remediation process was developed to work around many of these constraints while providing an effective means of remediating large dissolved plumes of contamination. This solution helps reduce client remediation costs, protects human health, and preserves the environment.” This is Kleinfelder’ To learn more about the company, click here (http://www.kleinfelder.com/ About Kleinfelder Kleinfelder is an employee-owned architecture, engineering, and science consulting firm providing solutions to meet our world's complex infrastructure and natural resource challenges.
