Soil and Groundwater Remediation

There are many situations when contaminated groundwater needs to be treated on-site during a soil or groundwater remediation project. When excavating to remove heavily contaminated soil or other source material, the excavation area may need construction dewatering, and the resulting water needs to be treated prior to discharge. In addition, pump and treat systems may be needed on some sites for short periods of time for pilot studies or short-term pull back of a contaminant plume. In these cases, renting the required groundwater treatment system often makes the best financial sense. Carbonair has over 25 years experience providing groundwater treatment systems for rent in these applications. We can provide a customized solution to your short-term groundwater treatment needs.

Project Example: Groundwater Treatment System Rentals for Soil and Groundwater Remediation

Groundwater Treatment System Rental in Support of Remediation of a Manufactured Gas Plant

Carbonair was hired by a natural gas utility company to provide on-site groundwater treatment of dewatering water in support of the remediation of a Manufactured Gas Plant. As part of the remedy, contractors had to excavate and remove large quantities of soil at the source of the contamination. The soil and groundwater in this area were heavily contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which were present in dissolved form and as free product. The excavated area had to be dewatered at a rate of 500 gpm during excavation due to the high water table.

Carbonair designed and supplied a rental groundwater treatment system to meet discharge requirements, allow uninterrupted operation and have sufficient capacity to last throughout the excavation period — without media replacement.

Carbonair Field Technicians installed the system, performed system startup and trained customer staff in system operation. In addition, Carbonair provided 24-hour emergency on-call service.

The groundwater treatment system operated as designed on a 24-hour basis for the life of the project without any down time or media replacement required. As a result, the contractors were able to proceed with, and complete, the excavation of the contaminated soil without any delays —saving money and avoiding any costly permit violations.

Carbonair field technicians disassembled and removed the equipment and arranged for the disposal of the spent filter media, completing the “cradle to grave” solution to our customer’s temporary water treatment needs for this project.
