CBA is an internationally recognized leader in soil treatment procedures
and techniques by utilization of the patented Mobile Injection Treatment
Unit (MITU) technology. Since 1994, CBA has successfully completed over
40 soil remediation projects ranging from ex-situ remediation of UST
release sites to in-situ remediation of SUPERFUND sites. CBA's expertise
has mainly been with thermal desorption of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), chemical stabilization of heavy metals, and treatment, stabilization
and drying of sludges; however, new techniques to handle special problems
are continually being explored and developed.
Currently, several
different models of the MITU are in operation; each model provides a
different treatment depth and production rate. The MITU units are very
flexible in terms of performing soil treatment; various modifications
and accessories can be added or eliminated to accommodate treatment
goals and site contraints. The units primary functions are to conduct
single or multiple subsurface or surface injections of chemical reagents
adn/or hot air; soil mixing operations, off-gas emissions collection
and treatment. The MITU utilizes a vacuum system to capture off-gasses
beneath a vapor collection hood. The gasses can be conveyed for treatment
by various methods, such as activated carbon or thermal oxidation.
