Former flare pit area overlying shallow fractured bedrock. Condensate (BTEX) contamination dissolved in groundwater covering 21,000 m2.
Conduct detailed geological/hydrogeological investigation to identify fracture pathways and contaminate transport.
In-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) program based on 15-meter injection radius of influence. Establish health and safety protocol and site logistics for handling oxidizer.
Installed 90 injection wells and injected over 100,000 litres of blended 17% EHP (enhanced hydrogen peroxide) oxidant. Blending is site specific following TRIUM’s ChemOx® process.
A risk-based in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) remediation is ongoing at an urban mall parking lot in Southern Alberta to address a large copper plume in 1,000 m³ of impacted groundwater, with a freshwater receptor located down-gradient. Due to infrastructure constraints, a 5-meter radius injection program using hydrogen peroxide was implemented to catalyse a sequestration reaction and precipitate dissolved copper, forming a permeable reactive barrier to prevent further migration. Over two months, 1 million litres of blended hydrogen peroxide and reagents were injected using TRIUM’s ChemOx® process, ensuring long-term effectiveness with a reactive barrier lasting approximately five years. The remediation has been effective at both the source zone and down-gradient areas, with ongoing injections near the water receptor, achieving results without disrupting shopping centre operations.
