An ageing ground mounted power transformer was removed, and transformer oil contamination was evident in the soil surrounding the footings. RemScan was used to measure TPH levels in the soil during the site remediation and excavation process in real-time. An ageing ground mounted power transformer located in South Australia was scheduled to be removed […]

Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry Australasia (SETAC) Deeksha Beniwal, Data Scientist at Ziltek, presented her work at the SETAC Australasia 2023 conference. Her methodology demonstrates the capability to accurately assess whether TPH soil contamination levels are above or below 1000 ppm. The method has shown over 90% accuracy across a comprehensive set of
A quick calibration method for Accurate TPH analysis in soil at remote sites without the need for laboratory analysis has been developed for RemScan. Industry standard practice for measuring Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil involves sending soil samples to an off-site laboratory for analysis by GC-FID (US EPA Method 3510⁄8015). This process is

Feasibility of Handheld Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy to Predict Particle Size Distribution: Influence of Soil Field Condition and Utilisation of Existing Spectral Libraries Abstract Partial least-squares regression (PLSR), using spectra from a handheld mid-infrared instrument (the ExoScan), was tested for the prediction of particle size distribution. Soils were sampled from agricultural sites in the Eyre Peninsula

Battelle independently verified the performance of RemScan for the rapid measurement of TPH in soil. Battelle was engaged by Ziltek to test the performance of the hand-held RemScan technology for the rapid measurement of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil. The study was conducted in line with the former Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program
