Bench-Scale Testing
![]() |
The selection of the most efficient remedial compound is often a function the soil and groundwater chemistry at a site. As a result, we are often asked and/or recommend that a bench-scale test be conducted using samples collected directly from impacted sites. The soil samples are processed to ensure a consistant surface area, mixed with native groundwater. The inclusion of soil in the test vessel is made due to the typically large proprtion of adsorbed mass compared to the dissolved phase mass. This is a difficult process and much more complicated than testing the soil or groundwater only. Our process more closely represents the subsurface conditions and should result in superior remedial material selection.
This soil/groundwater test vessel can then be innoculated with a wide variety of injectate formulations, and tested over time to measure contaminant destruction. By characterizing each site in such a way, Remington is able to begin an injection event with confidence in the efficacy of the chosen injectate.
