During the exploration of our measuring points, we were surprised to discover with Intrasense® the presence of several deviating groundwater flow directions at our site. We hadn’t expected such anisotropies but, on the basis of the Intrasense® findings, we were able to align our remediation measures in a considerably more effective way.

Advantages

We assess contaminated sites on a fine scale according to the type and extent of contamination. For the exploration of the site, we use the Intrasense® system that we have developed. This enables high-resolution and detailed explorations with exact data relating to small-scale hydrodynamics, geology, and biogeochemical conditions.

The Intrasense® system consists of an integrated and coordinated package of measuring processes for the collection of all the relevant groundwater data. The results provide all the information required for the physico-chemical and hydro-geological characterisation of the groundwater and local hydrodynamics, which then allow us to plan and configure the optimum individual product application.

The essential elements of Intrasense® include the determination of the horizontal and vertical groundwater flow direction and velocity, the groundwater pressure level, as well as camera inspections for controlling the measuring points and the detailed determination of the physical chemistry.

The data are collected on a permanent basis or on key dates, checked for their quality, and subsequently used to create the conceptual site model.

Phrealog®

In cooperation with Dr. Marc Schöttler, Intrapore offers vertical and horziontal groundwater flow measurements using the Phrealog® system:

Conventional hydro-geological exploration methods do not always provide results with the necessary quality and clarity. This can be the case with insufficient water gauges, water levels which cannot be correlated to other site factors, very flat groundwater gradients or long-distance water networks, for example.

For hydrogeological explorations, the ability to derive the groundwater flow direction and velocity in the aquifer from the groundwater passage at drilled wells is of fundamental importance. This data can be used for the plausibility testing of flow models independently of water level measurements, for example.

Our measurements take place according to an internal quality standard that is characterised by a camera inspection of the well prior to the measurements. In this respect, pipe transitions are located and the condition of the filter pipe is documented. These are important prerequisites to ensure that the measurements can be carried out in appropriate filter tube sections.

Our customers from the areas of water management, civil engineering, geothermal energy and environmental protection appreciate our professional investigative concepts, the technical discussions with our geologists on-site and our detailed reporting which documents the measured results on a clear and transparent basis, as well as our expertise, which is based on our long-standing experience as a specialist service provider.

    Intrasorp®

    Rapid and sustained in situ immobilzation of organic contaminants

    On a sustainable basis: Intrasorp® can be precisely adapted to the different adsorption behaviour of the respective pollutants. MOHCs, BTEX, PAH and many other organic pollutants can thus be quickly and permanently immobilised and removed from the downstream groundwater flow.

    CarboIron®

    For the degradation of halogenated pollutants

    CarboIron® is the sustainable and exceptionally effective alternative to conventional iron – and this applies with equal regard to mobility during injection, sustainable reactivity and effectiveness. Organic halogen pollutants such as PCE and TCE are effectively and permanently immobilised, being fully degraded into ethene and ethane.

    TrapOx®

    For the treatment of persistent pollutants

    With TrapOx®, combined adsorption and reaction zones can be created in which especially persistent pollutants can be enriched and degraded on a successive basis.

    The preferred areas of application include effluent plumes of persistent organic pollutants such as phenols, large PAH molecules, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane and chlorobenzene, or MTBE.

    Intraplex®

    Rapid and sustained in situ PFAS immobilization

    PFAS remediation places the highest demands on the in situ materials. With Intraplex® activated carbon, Intrapore offers a colloidally stabilized suspension that is injected directly into the contaminated aquifer, where it rapidly and permanently immobilizes PFAS.

    Aquaferrox®

    Unique and patented in situ immobilization of heavy metals

    Effective remediation of groundwater: Aquaferrox® enables the permanent binding of heavy metals and metalloids in groundwater. The dissolved ions are safely immobilised by adsorption. Aquaferrox® is characterised by high adsorption capacity, thermodynamic stability and ecotoxicological safety. Easy to apply with standard direct-push systems.
