ARS Memphis Field Application
In
A full-scale FeroxSM implementation recently occurred at a
large military site in Tennessee. The project was part of an
early implementation of the approved groundwater ROD for the facility.
As part of the scope, ARS injected Feroxsm into 14 injection points at
depths ranging from 70-100 ft bgs within a fine-sand aquifer. This
project represented the first full-scale use of an newly developed
rotasonic drilling/atomized injection method. This unique integration
provides rapid hole advancement and efficient injection operations in
deep formations. In total, 189,000 lbs of reactive iron powder were
injected into the formation. A critical component of the FeroxSM process
is ensuring that the Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) is sufficiently distributed
within the subsurface formation overcome the heterogeneities in the
formation and contaminant distribution. Using our patented high flow
gas delivery system, nitrogen gas flow rates of 2000-3000 SCFM attained
emplacement of ZVI 75 feet from injection points (verified with sample
coring) during the operation.
