1 In Situ Bioremediation of Persistent Organic Compounds and Heavy Metals and Groundwater Modeling Techniques for Karst and Fractured Rock Settings Karst Conference, Shepherdstown WV, September 15, 2009 J. Mueller, PhD J. Moreno, PHG A. Seech, PhD
2 EHC for Treatment of VOCs in Groundwater EHC integrates in situ biological and chemical reduction (ISCR) 15 years technology development experience DARAMEND (Grace Bioremediation) Iron PRBs (EnviroMetal Technologies Inc.) Balances acidity (VFAs) and ph increase (ZVI) to prevent acidification of groundwater Very long life from 36 to 72 months Usually emplaced in slurry form via direct push injection, hydraulic / pneumatic fracturing 2
3 Substrate Composition EHC is composed of: Controlled-release, food grade, complex carbon Micro-scale zero valent iron (10-50 µm) Major, minor, and micronutrients Food grade organic binding agent 3
4 EHC Treatment Mechanisms VFAs, Nutrients Ferrous iron Reactive precipitates Low redox Controlled ph Solid Particle Bacteria 4
5 Significantly Lowered Redox (Eh) Potential = ISCR Eh Potential (mv) Redox potentials of -600 mv to -800 mv Thermodynamics of reductive decomposition become favorable -600 Control Treatment Time (days) ZVI or Carbon Only EHC Buffering capacity US Patents W.R. Grace & Company / Adventus 5
6 Dehalogenation Rates Increase as Eh Decreases CCl 4 dehalogenation rates Ti (III) Eh Live Autoclaved Abiotic Citrate (mv) (mm) Reference: anaerobic sludge study; Olivas et al. ET&C (2002) 21:
7 Benefits of Using EHC Health and Safety Minimal Methane Production Predictable Performance Constructability No Mobilization of Contaminants Accelerated Site Closure without relying on sorption / sequestration ISCR No accumulation of Dead-End Intermediates. No VC or DCE from TCE or PCE No CM, DCM or CF from CT No DNT from TNT Wide Applicability: chlorinated solvents, Freons, pesticides, perchlorate, metals, and explosives; Longevity with no Rebound Complete Technology Buffering Capacity Facilitates Natural Attenuation Processes Simultaneous Immobilization of Heavy Metals 7
8 EHC Installation Methods Direct Placement: Trenching Excavations Deep soil mixing Socks Injection Methods: Direct injection Well injections (EHC-A) Hydraulic fracturing Pneumatic fracturing Jetting 8
9 EHC Installation Methods Direct Placement Placement at bottom of excavation to treat standing groundwater. Installation of EHC PRB 9
10 EHC Conceptual Designs Source Area/ Hotspot Treatment Injection PRB for Plume Control Plume Treatment - Dosing: 0.15 to 1% wt/wt - Spacing: 5 to 15 ft (DPT) - Dosing: 0.4 to 1% wt/wt - Spacing: 5 to 10 ft (DPT) - Dosing: 0.05 to 0.2% wt/wt - Line Spacing: 100 ft / 1 year gw travel distance 10
11 Half Lives vs. Time Half Life (hours) 10,000 1, Time Varying Half Lives in PRB Carbon Tetrachloride Chloroform PCE TCE cis 1,2 DCE trans 1,2 DCE 1,1 DCE VC Time (days) 11
12 CASE STUDY: Treatment of PCE 12
13 EHC -M controlled-release carbon with sulfide, nutrients & micro-scale ZVI Encourages the precipitation and adsorption of dissolved metals. Contains controlled release carbon, ZVI and sulfate. Different metals require different conditions some metals precipitate in contact with ZVI only, other require a source of sulphur and/or low redox. EHC-M Arsenic precipitates as Iron Arsenic Sulfide. Low redox/zvi Chromium(6+) precipitates as Chromium(3+). 13
14 Metal Immobilization Processes in EHC-M Treatment Zone Cost-effective, permanent removal of heavy metals by generation of stable mineral precipitates 14
15 Irreversible and No Rebound: Influence of Oxygen and Acid on Precipitated Arsenic Column: 13 cm long and 5 cm Ø, Flow rate = 50 ml/d, Residence time = 2 days 2500 Effluent As Concentration ( g/l) Control Column Effluent 1%EHC-M Column Effluent Eh>>0 Eh>>0 ph=4 As in influent As-free influent Eh>>0 ph= Total Time of Test (days) 15

18 EHC-M Case Study Initial Low TCE Concentration 18
19 EHC-O Buffered source of controlled-release oxygen and inorganic nutrients Stimulation of aerobic biodegradation through controlled-release oxygen and nutrient delivery. For organic constituents amendable to aerobic biodegradation processes: - Petroleum Hydrocarbons - Light PAHs - BTEX Significant cost savings realized through the use of EHC-O due to its higher oxygen release rate and lower price. 19
20 Oxygen Releasing Compounds Cost Efficiency Comparison Number of lbs of O 2 released per dollar of cost Allows for higher safety factors to address any unexpected oxygen demand EHC-O Calcium-peroxide based Magnesium-peroxide based Days 20
21 Installation Methods Injection methods (direct injection, fracturing ) Open excavations Socks or canisters for well applications 21
22 EHC-O O-SOX Stainless Steel Canisters (re-useable) O-SOX (single-use) Available for 2, 4, and 6 wells in length segments of 3 ft Link together to achieve target depth Estimated longevity of 3 to 6 months 22
23 In Situ Treatment of PVOCs Application of 0.1% EHC-O by dry soil mass Injection of 20% slurry via direct injection Product cost of US$0.50 per ft 3, or $13.50 per yd 3 Source: LUST Site, Kenosha, WI Lead Consultant - STS Consultants, Ltd.
