NEW YORK ISCO PROJECT - TOTAL CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Project Scope

A remediation contractor received a contract to clean up a former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) waste collection area. After thorough site characterization, bench testing and a pilot study, the consulting engineer and the remediation contractor selected the contractor’s patent-pending, surfactant-enhanced In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) as the treatment technology. Due to the magnitude of the contamination and the widespread nature of the groundwater contamination, significant quantities of proprietary surfactant, iron chelate, sodium persulfate, and caustic, as well as equipment and field services were required to execute the site remediation.

The scope and structure of the project required that a high volume of multiple chemicals be mobilized quickly, which created a significant operational and cost challenge for the contractor. USP Technologies (USP) developed a Total Chemical Management program to accomplish the project efficiently and cost-effectively.

Solution

Based on the requirements for the project, USP developed a Total Chemical Management program to meet project schedules and budget objectives:

Site Analysis and Hazards Review

USP engineering personnel worked closely with the remediation contractor to evaluate and plan for the specific hazards of the project site. Project duration was multi-seasonal and required equipment and operational adaptation to extreme heat, extreme cold and rain.
