MSA for VOC removal
Article Abstract:
The need to regain groundwater resources and remove volatile organic compunds in Santa Monicaa, CA's municipal water wells underscored the need to expand the Arcadia Water Treatment Plant. Project considerations included minimizing the plant expansion's aesthetic and environmental impacts and controlling capital and operating costs. Kennedy/Jenks Consultants used mechanical surface aeration technology (MSA) because it facilitated installation and allowed for the addition of an expandedater softening building and a landscape buffer. MSA also reduced potential health risks due to air emissions.

A natural cleanup
Article Abstract:
The Public Service Co of Colorado's truck-maintenance facility in Denver,CO, had accumulated a variety of automotive fluids in its oil sump for the past 30 years and needed remediation. The management contracted Groundwater Technology Inc to create a remedial design that would not interfere with existing maintenance operations and building expansions. In situ bioremediation, which involved the conversion of organic wastes into biomass and harmless metabolism products, offered the most cost-effective solution. The project also entailed a thorough site investigation and entreatability study.
