Active Dairy Farm Environmental Remediation System

MAE2 was selected to design and build a remediation system for this Active Dairy Farm that incorporates an on-site trucking company to get the product to market.

The consultant selected MAE2 to build for a vacuum enhanced groundwater pump and treat and air sparge remediation system that incorporated down well groundwater pumps and high vacuum DPE (Dual Phase Extraction) in order to remove the free product and lower the dissolved phase gasoline concentrations. The system also includes Air Sparging in order to volatilize VOC’s in the vadose zone and stimulate bio activity.

MAE2 recommended high vacuum parallel rotary claw pumps along with 5 QED pneumatic auto pumps to dewater the wells and expose more soil the influence of the SVE and the rotary claw compressor used for air sparging. The rotary claw vacuum pumps were chosen to allow the system flexibility to operate at a wide range of vacuum levels. The flexibility allows the system to operate at low vacuum to help slurp the free product in the wells while pumping at a low rate to maximize the initial free product recovery.

The pneumatic auto pumps operate on demand with a 10 HP reciprocating air compressor providing the air supply needed for pumping. The Groundwater Treatment system consists of an air water separator, an oil water separator the remove free product and a removable tray air stripper to remove the dissolved phase gasoline before discharging to surface water. At system start up the groundwater pumps were set just below the water table in order to slowly recover the free product and the vacuum was set at 12” HG to enhance product recovery.

Once the free product is reduced in the recovery wells, the well pumps will be set deeper and pump at a higher volume and the vacuum level will be increased. The rotary claw sparge compressor will also be started to maximize the treatment and reduce the project run time. An enclosed steel frame utility trailer was chosen for the project to maximize flexibility and mobility.

The regulatory agency requires consistent run time for all approved systems. The system provides run time hours, vacuum trends, and water flow totals recorded through the PLC control panel. The cellular connection allows full system control and data through easy-to-use web browser access. The instant alarm notification and remote control allows the consultant to immediately respond to any changing site conditions and maximize system run time.
