Summary
The
Situation
A large,
multi-plant
down
hole
tube
manufacturing
firm
had
18,000
cubic
feet
[510m³]
of contaminated
soil
at one
of their
manufacturing
plants.
Soil
analysis
showed
2,100
ppm
of Total
Petroleum
Hydrocarbons,
which
were
heavy
diesel
range
organics.
(DRO)
The
Solution
The
soil
was
treated
with
OBT®
following
standard
United-Tech
application
and
treatment
procedures.
The
Results
After
five
(5)
weeks
into
the
treatment
program
TPH
levels
were
down
to 20
ppm
which
were
well
below
the
necessary
EPA
clean
up standards.
Since
this
clean
up,
the
company
has
used
OBT®
in an
ongoing
remediation
programs
at a
number
of their
