Multiple Applications and Systems

Project: PALO ALTO

The equipment we used was a special internal combustion engine (ICE) soil remediation unit designed for portable extraction of methane vapors and greater than 99.6 % combustion of these vapors inside the cylinders of the engine.

A small leak has been detected in Palo Alto on the same natural gas pipeline that exploded with deadly consequences last year in San Bruno, officials with Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

Eisenauer said PG&E had been testing this section of 24-inch diameter seamless pipe, installed in 1947, on a weekly basis using other leak detection methods that did not find any problems.

Eisenhauer said this is the first leak found in the Bay Area since the increased pipeline testing after the San Bruno explosion in 2010. Hydrostatic tests last month revealed a seam rupture on a section of pipeline west of Bakersfield.

Project: Camarillo, CA

RSI has recently completed an extensive remediation from a similar source in the middle of an upscale residential neighborhood in Camarillo, CA for Sempra Energy and Southern CA Gas and their consultant GeoSyntec.

The equipment we used was a special internal combustion engine (ICE) soil remediation unit designed for portable extraction of methane vapors and greater than 99.6 % combustion of these vapors inside the cylinders of the engine.

We have units immediately available to ship with trained operating crews, or we can train your consultants to operate them. Multiple units from 50SCFM of flow and 20 inches of Hg vacuum and 360 pounds per day methane destruction capacity to 300 SCFM and 2400 pounds per day.

All inlet vapor data is recorded and stored in our robust computer controller which can print a full report of the progress and that data can be downloaded remotely by PSE or your consultant.

Case Studies

THE CHALLENGE

The extent and magnitude of the jet fuel release threatened two Kirtland AFB water production wells located within a half mile of the site and the drinking water aquifer in the Albuquerque basin as a whole. A remediation system design was needed that could achieve aggressive mass removal rates and operate reliably and continuously in order to protect human health and the environment.

THE SOLUTION

The challenges at the Kirtland AFB Bulk Fuels Facility were met with an atypical application of a common technology. The remediation system design uses soil vapor extraction to draw volatile contaminants out of the subsurface for treatment.To address the very high fuel concentrations at the site, and to provide high mass removal rates, a unique treatment system was selected for the site that uses internal combustion engines (ICEs).

The engine manifold vacuum of the modified ICEs is applied to the subsurface to extract the contaminant vapors which are then drawn through the engines themselves where they are burned as fuel to operate the system in a sustainable fashion.

PROVEN ON AFCEE SITES WORLDWIDE

Since system operation began the equivalent of over 120,000 gallons of jet fuel have been recovered. The design has met the complex technical demands of the project while achieving very high mass recovery rates at a project cost at least an order of magnitude less than most other remediation approaches.

The project was delivered on time and on budget meeting all U.S. Air Force metrics and regulatory requirements. New Mexico Engineering  Excellence Award
