Company Introduction McMillian-McGee (Mc²) is a global player in the in-situ thermal remediation industry and provides operation, optimization, and project management services. As leaders in the industry, Mc² employs proprietary tools and technologies, including their patented “Electro-Thermal Dynamic Stripping Process” (ET-DSP™) for managing remediation projects and helping companies resolve environmental challenges around the globe.
The Challenge In any In-Situ Thermal Remediation project, temperature is a critical performance parameter, so Mc² needed to ensure heating effectiveness as well as analyze the cleanup process. Current monitoring instrumentation used in the industry is based on electronic sensors i.e., thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors. However, harsh environmental conditions at ISTR sites, driven by corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, and electromagnetic interference negatively impact the performance and survivability of these sensors. The failure of sensors during the project and the lack of reusability across multiple projects can incur additional capital and operating costs in addition to customer dissatisfaction.
The Solution Mc² relied on AOMS LumiRem for monitoring subsurface conditions at their ISTR site. As an end-to-end hardware/software platform, LumiRem consists of multi-point fiber optic sensor cables, data hub (ODAQ), and AOMS Lumi software. LumiRem sensors are based on patented sensing technology and outperform existing sensors when it comes to real-time, continuous, and distributed monitoring in harsh environments.

AOMS ODAQ™ is a fully integrated multichannel fiber optic data acquisition system. It has the built-in capability for cloud connectivity using state-of-the-art IoT standards and protocols to streamline integration with other equipment in the field.
The ResultBy using AOMS LumiRem, Mc² was able to deploy multi-point and recoverable sensors for measuring temperature distribution with the spacing of 1 metre at a depth of 37 metres. Even though the sensors were exposed to temperatures up to 200°C, high intensity and electromagnetic interference as well as corrosive and harsh chemicals including NAPL, DNAPL, PCBS, and VOC, LumiRem was successful in collecting data at a speed of 1Hz and a temperature accuracy of ±0.1°C. Moreover, only one ODAQ was needed for monitoring all sensor cables in the project.
