Green Remediation Practices | Chemical Injections/Bio-Remediation

  • Consider in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) where feasible.
  • Use direct push technology for constructing temporary or permanent wells, rather than typical rotary methods, to eliminate the need for disposal of cuttings.
  • Re-use existing wells and boreholes for injection points.
  • Use socks to treat groundwater wells when feasible and appropriate for site conditions.
  • Research materials that are effective at biodegradation with a reduction in the project’s environmental footprint.
  • Consider processes that could assist biodegradation but use less energy (e.g. using renewable energy blowers to deliver air to the subsurface).
  • Investigate the feasibility of phytoremediation and bioremediation.
