Principles and Practices of In Situ Chemical Oxidation
Wednesday, December 1, 1:45–5:00 pm

Participants received 3 professional development hours upon course completion.

Instructors:Dr. Robert Borden – North Carolina State UniversityDr. Michelle Crimi Clarkson UniversityDr. Robert Siegrist  Colorado School of MinesDr. Thomas Simpkin  CH2M Hill, Inc.Dr. Marvin Unger HydroGeoLogic, Inc.

This short course highlighted a Technology Practices Manual developed with ESTCP support to enhance the site-specific engineering of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) for remediation of contaminated groundwater and help ensure more predictable, cost-effective performance. The short course began by providing an overview of ISCO as documented in the scientific literature, as revealed through an analysis of more than 200 field applications, and as developed through a technology practices workshop. Guidance and decision support tools were then shared regarding screening level decisions on the applicability of ISCO to varied contaminants and site conditions, conceptual design processes, detailed design considerations, and implementation and performance monitoring. A Frequently Asked Questions guide was presented and used during the short course to convey the ISCO guidance and tools available.

NOTE: Attendees were encouraged to bring their personal laptops to this short course as the decision support tool, developed under ESTCP Project ER-200623, was demonstrated during the course and participants had the opportunity to use the tool during breakout exercises. Download CDISCO Design Tool:  CDISCO Design Tool

ON-DEMAND VIDEO AVAILABLE: Individual modules of this short course are available below as on-demand videos. In addition, the material in its entirety is available in PDF format. When viewing these videos, you may wish to reference the handout material provided during the course. To request a copy of the Technology Practices Manual CD mentioned in this on-demand video, please e-mail er@serdp-estcp.org. A downloadable electronic version of the manual documents will be available soon.
