Book Analysis of a LNAPL Recovery System Using LDRM in a South Texas Facility

Download or read book Analysis of a LNAPL Recovery System Using LDRM in a South Texas Facility written by Ibrahim Kahraman and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petroleum leakage from storage tanks, underground pipelines during exploration and production facilities is the reason of hydrocarbon migration into the groundwater. Petroleum companies use various LNAPL (Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids) recovery techniques to prevent lateral migration of hydrocarbon through the offsite of a facility. A petroleum refinery facility in the Gulf Coast region of South Texas was selected to evaluate ongoing LNAPL recovery system. Three analyses were carried out in this study. First, hydrogeologic conditions were determined using DGP (Diagnostic Gauge Plots). The concept of why ANT (Apparent LNAPL Thickness) is not a good metric to estimate recovery rates was explained based on hydrogeologic conditions of LNAPL. LNAPL and groundwater surface contour maps were built to have information about the direction of flow. All map illustrations were created using ArcGIS software. Well configurations were used to determine hydrogeologic condition in case of lack sufficient data for DGP. Second, LNAPL transmissivity were estimated using API (American Petroleum Institute) LNAPL Transmissivity Workbook. LNAPL condition was required in estimating LNAPL transmissivity values with API workbook, where methods of analysis are dependent of LNAPL condition. Total fluids recovery data were also used to estimate transmissivity values in the study wells. 0.08 ft2/d transmissivity value was arbitrarily chosen to determine the endpoint of recovery. Third, LNAPL recovery rates were predicted using LDRM (LNAPL Distribution and Recovery Model) for 11 recovery wells in the study region. Single phase -water- extraction method was used for LNAPL recovery under atmospheric conditions. Soil and fluid properties along with recovery system data were required for LNAPL recovery estimation. Some of these data were available from the dataset provided by oil company and some of them were estimated using API and Rosetta databases. Soil properties, radius of recovery values, and water production rates were calibrated in order to fit the LDRM recovery and transmissivity results with the actual field data. The modeled recovery rates and transmissivity values were consistent with actual data. Projections for future in a well were made. The model can be used for the endpoint of recovery projections.

Book Site Specific Technical Report  A003  for Bioslurper Testing at Site 24  Edwards AFB  California

Download or read book Site Specific Technical Report A003 for Bioslurper Testing at Site 24 Edwards AFB California written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the field activities conducted at Edwards AFB, for a short-term field pilot test to compare vacuum-enhanced free-product recovery (bioslurping) to traditional free-product recovery techniques to remove light, nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) from subsurface soils and aquifers. The field testing at Edwards AFB is part of the Bioslurper Initiative, which is funded and managed by the U.S. Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) Technology Transfer Division. The AFCEE Bioslurper Initiative is a multisite program designed to evaluate the efficacy of the bioslurping technology for (1) recovery of LNAPL from groundwater and the capillary fringe, and (2) enhancing natural in situ degradation of petroleum contaminants in the vadose zone via bioventing. The main objective of the Bioslurper Initiative is to develop procedures for evaluating the potential for recovering free-phase LNAPL present at petroleum-contaminated sites. The overall study is designed to evaluate bioslurping and identify site parameters that are reliable predictors of bioslurping performance. To measure LNAPL recovery in a wide variety of in situ conditions, tests are being performed at many sites. The test at Edwards AFB is one of at least 35 similar field tests to be conducted at various locations throughout the United States and its possessions. The intent of field testing is to collect data to support determination of the predictability of LNAPL recovery and to evaluate the applicability, cost, and performance of the bioslurping technology for removal of free product and remediation of the contaminated area. The on-site testing is structured to allow direct comparison of the LNAPL recovery achieved by bioslurping with the performance of more conventional LNAPL recovery technologies. The test method included an initial site characterization followed by LNAPL recovery testing.

  • ISBN : 9780521019156
  • Pages : 416 pages

Download or read book Bioremediation written by Ronald L. Crawford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial and agricultural activity throughout this century has led to considerable contamination of soil and groundwater resources by hazardous chemicals. The technique of bioremediation uses living organisms--usually bacteria and fungi--to remove pollutants from soil and water with minimal disturbance to these environments. This approach, which is potentially more cost-effective than traditional techniques such as incineration of soils and carbon filtration of water, requires an understanding of how organisms transform chemicals, how they survive in polluted environments, and how they can be used in the field. This book examines these issues for many of the most serious and common environmental contaminants, presenting the most recent position on the application of bioremediation to polluted soil and water.

  • Release : 2008-06-27
  • ISBN : 1847558348
  • Pages : 190 pages

Download or read book Environmental Forensics written by R E Hester and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2008-06-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Environmental forensics' is a combination of analytical and environmental chemistry, which is useful in the court room context. It therefore involves field analytical studies and both data interpretation and modelling connected with the attribution of pollution events to their causes. Recent decades have seen a burgeoning of legislation designed to protect the environment and, as the costs of environmental damage and clean-up are considerable, not only are there prosecutions by regulatory agencies, but the courts are also used as a means of adjudication of civil damage claims relating to environmental causes or environmental degradation. As a result is the increasing number of prosecutions of companies who have breached regulations for environmental protection and in civil claims relating to harm caused by excessive pollutant releases to the environment. Such cases can become extremely protracted as expert witnesses provide their sometimes conflicting interpretations of environmental measurement data and their meaning. It is in this context that environmental forensics is developing as a specialism, leading to greater formalisation of investigative methods which should lead to more definitive findings and less scope for experts to disagree. Now a significant subject in its own right, at least one journal devoted to the field and a number of degree courses have sprung up. As a result of the topicality and rapid growth of the subject area, is the publication of this book - the 26th volume in the highly acclaimed Issues in Environmental Science and Technology Series. This volume contains authoritative articles by a number of the leading practitioners across the globe in the environmental forensics field and aims to cover some of the main techniques and areas to which environmental forensics are being applied. The content is comprehensive and describes a number of the key areas within environmental forensics - topics covered by the authors include: - Source identification issues - Microbial techniques - Metal contamination and methods of assigning liability - The use of isotopes to determine sources and their applications - Molecular biological methods - Hydrocarbon fingerprinting techniques - Oil chemistry and key compound identification - The emerging role of environmental forensics in groundwater pollution Additionally, the volume considers specific pollutants and long-lived pollutants of groundwater such as halocarbons which have presented particular problems and which are described in some depth, as well as the way in which chemical degradation processes can lead to compositional changes which provide valuable information. The book provides a comprehensive overview of many of the key areas of environmental forensics written by some of the leading experts in the field. It will be both of specialist use to those seeking expert insights into the field and its capabilities as well as of more general interest to those involved in both environmental analytical science and environmental law.
