Remedial System Optimization A Cost-Effective Approach to Site Assessment and Remediation

Farmington, Ct - For decades, remediation sites have used energy- and maintenance-intensive pump-and-treat and soil vapor extraction systems to remove contamination from the subsurface

Farmington, CT (prHWY.com) November 29, 2012 - Farmington, Ct - For decades, remediation sites have used energy- and maintenance-intensive pump-and-treat and soil vapor extraction systems to remove contamination from the subsurface. As the contamination concentration decreases, these systems become less efficient. What was once a "state-of-the-art" treatment system can become a burden on Operation, Maintenance, and Monitoring (OMM) budgets. RSO is an excellent approach to evaluate and improve site remediation processes while maximizing each dollar spent for remediation.

RSO involves a systematic approach of identifying and evaluating operational modifications to improve system performance and reduce required remediation time, thereby reducing Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs. HRP Associates uses a phased approach, developed over 30 years of designing, operating and maintaining systems with minimal upfront costs to complete a RSO. The benefits to conducting a RSO include:

Significant O&M costs savings
Re-evaluation of clean-up goals
Accelerated spill closure
Identification of methods to re-negotiate closure strategies with regulatory agencies
Review and evaluation of contaminant distribution and regulatory drivers
Track remediation effectiveness
Improved relationship with regulatory agency

HRP ASSOCIATES' REMEDIAL SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION PROCESS

Whether HRP Associates, Inc. (HRP) is contracted to perform independent/third-party RSO evaluations or to operate remediation systems, we focus on three areas:

1.Optimization of the remedial strategy and technology upgrades including:
Conceptual Site Model Refinement
Performance Evaluations
Regulatory Strategy Review
Remediation Technology Selection and Deployment

2.Optimization of remediation system operating costs to identify cost-saving opportunities such as:
Modifications to the treatment equipment
Automation upgrades to reduce labor requirements
Reduction in outside services

3.Optimization of long-term groundwater monitoring and reporting may include evaluating ways to reduce the cost of collecting and analyzing samples, evaluating data, and reporting without sacrificing data quality objectives.

When needed, HRP Associates' environmental engineers and hydrogeologists use statistical tools to evaluate current data collection efforts and the impact of removing wells from the monitoring program or reducing frequency of sample collection. We couple statistical analysis with practicality and experience to support these monitoring reductions.
