Abstract: Method and apparatus for delivery of chemical reagents to a subterranean body of soil and groundwater to destroy or enhance mobility of organic compounds using a riser insertable in a borehole having spaced permeable sections separated by a non-permeable section and wherein the reagents are introduced from a source by a pressurization apparatus.

Abstract: A reactor vessel for in situ cleanup of contaminated sediments in an underwater environment. A slurry is generated within the reactor vessel after the reactor vessel penetrates an area of the seabed which includes severely contaminated sediments. The contaminated sediments contained within the reactor are entrained into the slurry created by a circulation pump in combination with discharge flow jets mounted in a radial network inside the reactor vessel. Anchoring vanes attached to the exterior of the reactor vessel resist torque moment induced by the slurry vortex. A remediation fluid is injected into the slurry and controlled by circulation to and from a holding/process tank of the portable surface treatment unit. Following treatment, the reactor vessel is removed from the sediment by reversing the emplacement procedure and is relocated and reset on an adjacent area.

Abstract: An adjustable depth air sparging well comprising a flow through packer which is slidably mounted within a well casing allowing for vertical movement of the flow through packer within the well casing. Flow through packer includes an inflatable packer fabricated from inflatable vitron tubing, a lower end portion of an air supply tube which has a plurality of openings for providing pressurized air to inflate the packer, and a pair of vitron rubber packer end caps. An air compressor is coupled to the air supply tube supplying pressurized air to the inflatable packer which inflates the packer holding the packer at a fixed depth within the well casing. Deflating the inflatable packer allows for vertical movement of the inflatable packer within the well casing. Positioned at the lower end of the air supply tube is a one way valve through which air under pressure passes to a well screen. The well screen, which comprises the lower portion of the well casing, is mounted in the soil's saturated zone.

Abstract: Apparatus for active in situ multi-element gas sparging for bioremediation or physico-chemical degration for removal of contaminants in a soil formation containing a subsurface groundwater aquifer or a substantially wet unsaturated zone, the multi-gas contained in, bubbles, wherein the apparatus includes a plurality of injection wells extending to a depth of a selected aquifer; introducing an oxidizing agent comprising ozone mixed with ambient air to provide a multi-element gas by means of microporous diffusers, without applying a vacuum for extraction of stripped products or biodegration by-products, wherein said diffusers form micro-fine bubbles containing said multi-element gas that oxidizes, by stripping and decomposition, chlorinated hydrocarbons from the aquifer and surrounding saturated soil formation into harmless by-products; also including a pump for agitating water in the well selecting microbubbles, injecting them into the aquifer and effective to alter the path of micro-fine bubbles through a por

Abstract: A method and system are described for removing contaminants from the phreatic zone, also known as the saturation zone, or groundwater. A barrier wall is constructed below the ground surface and in the path of flow of a contaminated groundwater plume. A well is constructed in advance of the barrier wall and is connected to the barrier wall via a pipe. Various remediation media may be lowered into the well to perform remediation on the contaminated groundwater before it passes through the barrier wall.

Abstract: A method and a device for decontaminating soil on the spot from harmful substances. In the soil one or several horizontally drilled holes (10) are arranged debouching into the ground surface. In the hole a chord (16) is inserted in form of a hose or a number of interconnected sockets, in which reactive sorbents are stored. The chord (16) remains in the ground during a sufficiently long period for achieving a desired decontamination of the soil.

Abstract: An apparatus for soil remediation to remedy a soil contaminated with a pollutant less affecting the environment, which includes a soil borer having a rotatable drilling form or portion capable of agitating the soil, introducing into the soil at least one agent selected from the group consisting of a microorganism capable of degrading the pollutant, a nutrient for the microorganism and an inducer to make the microorganism express the pollutant-degrading activity, and measuring pollutant concentration in the soil.
