Indigenous Concepts and Solutions Inc. (INCOSO)
MANAGEMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE FOR THE OIL SECTOR
We take a methodical application of a systematic approach which involves:
- engaging with regulators and other stakeholders at an early stage to identify and agree upon remediation goals and end points
- prioritising sites, particularly where an emergency response to a pollution incident and associated statutory reporting is concerned
- defining site sensitivity
- fully understanding the problem
- setting clear remediation goals and end points
- selecting the best available, affordable clean-up technology
- pilot testing the chosen technology
- designing, installing, and commissioning the system safely
- monitoring remediation performance
- developing a sound plan to close out the clean-up, acceptable to all involved.
Remediation methods
Three primary strategies used separately or in conjunction to remediate most sites are:
- Elimination or alteration of contaminants.
- Extraction or separation of contaminants from environmental media.
- Immobilization of contaminants.
Treatment technologies capable of contaminant elimination by altering their chemical/physical structure are:
- thermal
- biological
- chemical
These elimination technologies can be applied in situ or ex situ to contaminated media.
Treatment technologies commonly used for extraction and separation of contaminants from environmental media include
- soil treatment by thermal desorption
- soil washing
- solvent extraction
- oil vapor extraction (SVE)
- ground water treatment by either phase separation
- carbon adsorption
- air stripping
- ion exchange
To achieve the Remediation
INCOSO is fully experienced at developing the studies and designs required to assist in remediating these sites and, ultimately, to return the site to a state suitable to allow for land-use
alteration or for land transfer. To achieve the remediation, we combine our expertise in disciplines such as: hydrogeology and characterisation of hydrocarbon contamination; water quality characterisation and modelling; contaminant plume modelling; and civil-geotechnical design of the ultimate solution.
