HAZARDOUS WASTE CHARACTERIZER AND REMEDIATION METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

A mobile hazardous waste characterization system having a top driven rotary kelly bar (10) and drill bit (12) in conjunction with a non-rotatable casing (30) surrounding the kelly bar in which the casing and waste contamination sensing probes (40) affixed thereto are supported by the top drive (20) and are moved into and out of the site with the kelly bar and drill bit. The sensors preferably are optical soil contamination probes affixed to the casing to qualitatively and quantitatively determine soil contaminants and monitor remediation progress in situ at a subsurface characterization and treatment location. Soil gas sampling and a solid soil core sample removal device may be integrated with the optical contaminant sensing for accurate site characterization and simultaneous remediation thereof.
