Management of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Groundwater Contamination


ALGA Groundwater Contamination

aig_cdphrs02_4ALGA is pleased to bringing Dr Charles (Chuck) Newell, Vice President of GSI Environmental Inc. in Houston, to east coast Australia to deliver a series of half day workshops on changes taking place in the management of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater in the USA.

Each workshop will examine the paradigm shift witnessed in the USA in recent years on the management of organic groundwater contamination, including Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPL) and Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquid (DNAPL).

Issues to be addressed by each workshop include:

  • Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Monitoring Natural Attenuation (MNA).
  • Natural Source Zone Depletion – what is it and methods to measure NSZD.
  • New Thinking Behind LNAPL Mobility – LNAPL Transmissivity, LNAPL Tracers
  • “Big Data” – what data from 12,000 LNAPL Sites” tell us.
  • Integrated DNAPL Management Strategies.

Each workshop will be run in an interactive manner – so come armed with questions and issues to be discuss with Chuck and other workshop attendees.

We have limited spaces available at each venue – so ensure you register early so you don’t miss out!  Click here for further information.
