When an experienced environmental remediation company secured a contract to clean up a former
manufactured gas plant in a New York community, the contractor realized the environmental remediation process would require a host of different technologies to address contaminated soil as well as ground and surface water.
TIGG Corporation was called upon to provide a solution for treating the contact water because of its ability to meet the company’s requirements of reasonable pricing, immediate rental equipment availability and technical expertise.
TIGG helped rescue the project, which initially employed one of its competitors, who provided inadequate engineering and a solution that was not meeting treatment objectives.
“With the goal of removing contaminants from groundwater in an area near a shopping center, we worked with the remediation contractor to help ensure the safety of the public,” said TIGG Director of Project Engineering Jeff Iman. “We delivered an idea and the apparatus to implement it in a little over three weeks.”
Initially, TIGG developed a water treatment system that combined various technologies to separate oil and coal-tar residuals from the contact water. This process included gravity separators, centrifugal pumps, bag filter units and vessels containing oil-absorbent media and activated carbon.
