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 catalyze a sequestration reaction and precipitate dissolved copper, forming a permeable reactive barrier to prevent further migration. Over two months, 1 million liters 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 center operations.
