H2A’s Mike Hawthorne Coauthors NAPL Article in Ground Water Monitoring & Remediation on Identification of Confined and Perched NAPL
H2A’s J. Michael (Mike) Hawthorne, PG, coauthored an article recently published in Ground Water Monitoring & Remediation titled “Identification and Assessment of Confined and Perched LNAPL Conditions.” Coauthors include Andrew Kirkman and Mark Adamski of BP Americas. The article presents powerful tools that use routinely collected data to identify confined or perched LNAPL. Routinely collected [...]
H2A’s Dr. Ranga Muthu to Conclude Training on API’s LNAPL Transmissivity Spreadsheet
H2A’s Dr. Rangaramanujam “Ranga” Muthu, co-author of the American Petroleum Institute’s (API’s) new Microsoft ExcelTM spreadsheet tool for estimating LNAPL transmissivity using baildown test data, will present the second part of a two-part training session on the spreadsheet on March 14, 2013, from 1:00 to 1:30 PM EST. This session is only available to National [...]
ASTM Standard References Multiple Methods for Estimating LNAPL Transmissivity
ASTM E-2856-11, Standard Guide for Estimation of LNAPL Transmissivity, identifies four primary methods to measure LNAPL transmissivity. However, one of those four methods, recovery data analysis, has four sub-methods based upon the remediation technology used. And one of those sub-methods, total fluids recovery data, can be further subdivided based on whether you plan to analyze [...]

H2A Performs 12-Day MDPE Event in Angleton, Texas
H2A is currently performing a 12-day, mobile dual-phase extraction (MDPE) event at a former petroleum storage tank site located within TxDOT right-of-way in Angleton, Texas (the Site). This is the latest of seven MDPE events performed by H2A at the Site over the past several years. During a 12-day event performed in March of this [...]

H2A Completes LNAPL Conceptual Site Model (LCSM) Updates for a Large-Scale Refinery
H2A’s J. Michael Hawthorne, PG, Shannon Walker, PE, and Si Xu, EIT, recently completed an extensive redesign of the LNAPL Conceptual Site Model (LCSM) for a large-scale oil refinery located in southeast Texas. The analysis included a detailed review of all gauging and well construction data, fluid physical properties, aquifer properties, multiple LNAPL recovery and [...]
LNAPL – It’s Not Just Unconfined
Abstract of presentation to be given by Mike Hawthorne of H2A (coauthors Andrew Kirkman of AECOM and Mark Adamski of BP America) at the LNAPL Site Management Strategies Session of the 2011 Battelle Bioremediation and Sustainable Environmental Technologies Conference, Reno, Nevada, June 27-30, 2011. Background. Existing LNAPL distribution literature is heavily biased towards ideal unconfined conditions [...]
LNAPL Remediation Drivers
One way to look at light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) drivers for remediation is to break them down into: (1) physical science issues and (2) human science issues. Physical science drivers include saturation and composition risks. Saturation risks are primarily related to migration of LNAPL, if the LNAPL mass present is great enough for migration [...]
