High Chain Hydrocarbon Soil Remediation with Advanced Oxidation T.E.S.T Technology Case Study

Jamie Davidson, Director - Global Turnaround Solutions, Amerapex Corporation

Oil-contaminated soil is one of the most concerning problems due to its potential damage to humans, animals, and the environment. Currently industry worldwide is facing significant challenges following increasing focus on environmental rules, regulations, and compliance. As a result, Companies and Governments are facing increased current and historical liabilities and pressure to achieve the highest levels of environmental performance. This presentation will cover a real-life case study for the world’s first economically advanced oxidation solution for effective and rapid treatment of high chain hydrocarbons in soil. It will provide an overview of the T.E.S.T technology, treatment plant process overview and project progress and results to date (successful treatment below 1% TPH) including enhancements in technology/treatment process for separation and removal of Asphaltenes, Paraffins, and Waxes. This project case study is for a United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC) supported program and the largest environmental treatment and rehabilitation project in the world, with a total impacted area of approximately 114 square kilometers and an estimated volume of over 29 million cubic meters of highly contaminated soil (<15% TPH).
