Self-Targeting Ultrasonic Liquid Level Probe
A new device has been developed to address a unique application involving the precise filling of drums containing hazardous liquids. Unlike an air-coupled probe that measures headspace, this device transmits an ultrasonic beam capable of penetrating metals and liquids. The transducer is mounted outside of the pressure boundary and is therefore protected from the hazardous liquid. MORE>> |

MicroBlower
MicroBlower is a subsurface remediation tool that uses a small, low power vacuum blower to extract or inject gases into the subsurface for characterization or remediation. Because the components of the system have a long operating life, the system is useful for long-term cleanup operations, particularly where mass transfer limits the rate of remediation. The unit can be powered by small batteries, small photovoltaic panels, or wind generators. MORE>> |

NAPL Calculator
The NAPL calculator is software application that will determine if non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) contaminants are present in soil, groundwater, or soil vapor samples. The software will determine both the quantity and composition of NAPL chemicals in the samples based on the results of sample analysis. The software also computes important environmental engineering measures such as the residual saturation, mass of the NAPL in the sample, and mass balance and phase distribution of each chemical composing the NAPL.

GeoSiphon
Scientists at the Savannah River National Laboratory have developed innovative processes for groundwater remediation. Called the GeoSiphon, this process offers significant advantages over pump and treat systems, funnel and gate systems and continuous permeable wall treatment systems. The GeoSiphon Cell is a passive, in situ, groundwater treatment system which uses a siphon between two points of natural head difference to induce greater than natural flow through a permeable treatment media.
