In Situ Chemical Oxidation: Technology Description and Status

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover In Situ Chemical Oxidation for Groundwater Remediation

Part of the book series: SERDP/ESTCP Environmental Remediation Technology ((SERDP/ESTCP,volume 3))

Scope

Overview of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) as a remediation technology, including history of development and use, field applications, performance expectations, and costs.

Key Concepts

  • ISCO has had a long history of development and use. While research and development still continue, ISCO is a relatively mature technology for the remediation of contaminated groundwater, including source zones and plumes.

  • ISCO has primarily been applied for treatment of chlorinated organic solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons to achieve remediation objectives ranging from reducing contaminant mass in a source zone to achieving maximum contaminant levels in a plume. To achieve the more stringent remediation objectives, ISCO is almost always combined with another technology (e.g., bioremediation) or approach (e.g., monitored natural attenuation).

  • The effectiveness of ISCO varies and is highly dependent on proper site characterization and design of the oxidant delivery system to achieve oxidative destruction of contaminants of concern in a target treatment zone.

  • Typically ISCO applications require a targeted second or third oxidant delivery event since rebound in groundwater contaminant levels following cessation of active ISCO is a common occurrence.

  • The median cost of an ISCO project appears to be on the order of $100 per cubic yard treated. However, costs can vary widely depending on contaminant characteristics, site conditions, and the oxidant used.

  • When considering ISCO at a contaminated site, there are a number of frequently asked questions (Table 1.6) and key points to keep in mind to help support successful application (Table 1.7).
