On‐site bioremediation treatment system design and on‐site analytical screening of hydrocarbon‐contaminated dredge sediments
In early 1991, a petroleum refining facility located on the Blair Waterway in Commencement Bay near Tacoma, Washington, wished to deepen its berthing facility. Sediments had accumulated in the berthing area adjacent to the facility's petroleum handling dock to the extent that tanker ships could go aground during low tides. A preliminary sediment characterization program had indicated that elevated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons such as anthracene and phenanthrene, and total petroleum hydrocarbons exceeded Puget Sound Dredge Disposal Analysis maximum level guidelines for unconfined, open‐water disposal. Enviros designated an on‐shore sediment treatment facility to receive the dredged sediments. Design criteria and construction details of a treatment area capable of accommodating 8000 yd3 of sediments are presented. Onsite, real‐time sediment analysis for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentrations was conducted by an onsite mobile laboratory. Laboratory techniques to expedite sediment analysis for TPH using infrared spectrophotometry are described.
