July 23, 2020 - Using UVOST, TarGOST and DyeLIF to Characterize NAPL
Thursday, July 23, 2020, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM EDT
Category: Events
The Massachusetts Licensed Site Professional Association (MA LSPA) will be offering an informative course entitled "Using UVOST, TarGOST and DyeLIF to Characterize NAPL" on July 23, 2020 from 11:00-1:00. The webinar will discuss laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for characterizing the nature and extent of subsurface NAPL bodies from releases of refined fuels, crude oil, creosote, coal tar, and chlorinated solvents. Course Description:Using UVOST, TarGOST and DyeLIF to Characterize NAPL Registration: In your LSPA registration confirmation email, you will receive a link to a Zoom "Webinar Registration" for this topic. Please complete this registration. Once registered with Zoom, you will receive reminder emails with the course materials as well as other webinar details. Please note: registration closes on July 23 at 10:45 AM. Cost: Member $100 | Non-Member $250 Webinar Description:Non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) releases are of substantial interest because NAPL acts as a recalcitrant source for aqueous phase contaminants such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, naphthalene, and poly-cyclic aromatics; NAPL also poses potential direct contact hazards to aquatic life and humans. The webinar will discuss laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for characterizing the nature and extent of subsurface NAPL bodies from releases of refined fuels, crude oil, creosote, coal tar, and chlorinated solvents. Successful remediation of these NAPL releases depends on the development of accurate conceptual site models, but this is often prevented by unexpectedly complicated spatial distribution of NAPLs in the subsurface. The webinar will outline:
LIF systems to be discussed include UVOST for petroleum releases, TarGOST for coal tar and creosotes, and DyeLIF for chlorinated DNAPLs such as PCE and TCE. High resolution site characterization case studies will be reviewed for several commonly encountered NAPLs. NJ LSRP Credits: Approved - 2 Technical Contact: [email protected] |
