Course 3 of 3:
November 18 - 19, 2021, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. PST (2 Days)
Course Reviews (4.7/5):
Summary: This course provides participants with a comprehensive overview of chlorinated VOC remediation principles, and proven technologies for soil, vapor, and groundwater. The training begins with a review of biogeochemistry and hydrogeologic factors that affect site characterization, remedy selection, and performance; followed by a discussion of common presumptive and innovative remedies. The 14-compartment model is used as a conceptual site model framework for examining the order-of-magnitude performance of various remediation technologies. The course concludes with a case study highlighting the remedy selection process and the application of multiple remediation technologies to a complex site. The concepts and technologies presented are applicable to PCE, TCE, DCE, vinyl chloride, 1,1,1-TCA, DCA, CT, and other chlorinated VOCs including chlorinated benzenes, ethanes, ethenes, and methanes. Remediation of 1,4-dioxane is also covered.
