Spill Control and Remediation Engineering - SCRE

Program Overview

This Spill Control and Remediation Engineering program provides foundational knowledge in spill control response and remediation engineering for hydrocarbon-contaminated property. It covers spill factors, response priorities, and equipment. Additionally, it explores remediation technologies for treating contaminated waters, soils, and solids for permanent disposal.

Program Outline

Outline:

• Spill Control:
• Understanding and analyzing spill causes and common situations
• Factors to consider during a spill situation
• Priorities in the three-tiered response (personnel requirements, equipment, environmental effects)
• Equipment for spill control (basic principles, design, applicability of technologies)
• Personnel risks and protective equipment
• Environmental effects and information for stakeholders (government, authorities, health and safety)
• Root cause investigation, equipment decontamination, and waste management
• Remediation Engineering:
• Detecting contaminated land, migration phenomena, and phase distribution
• Assessing hydrocarbon biodegradability using gas chromatography and UV light properties
• Technologies for remediation:
• Air sparging biodegradation
• In-situ soil vapor extraction
• Ex-situ soil washing
• Bioremediation
• Phytoremediation
• Bioremediation of metal-contaminated soils
• Composting and vermiculture
• Electro kinetics
• Stabilization and solidification for final disposal
