APPLICATIONS<br />

Main Applications<br />

• Detection, delineation and monitoring of hydrocarbon contamination of soils from fuel and other<br />

spills.<br />

• Fast and convenient monitoring of UST (underground storage tanks) and pipelines for leakage.<br />

• Monitoring of contaminant plume migration.<br />

• Monitoring of in situ bioremediation processes where bacteria consume oxygen and generate heat,<br />

methane and carbon dioxide. Routine monitoring at fixed locations can track both the progress and<br />

the efficiency of the process. The results provide a good indication of bacterial activity and also of the<br />

contaminant concentration.<br />

• Detection and monitoring of methane flux over decommissioned coal mines.<br />

Other Applications<br />

Following applications require operator experience to decide (or consult the RS DYNAMICS representative<br />

or manufacturer ) if the <strong>ECOPROBE</strong> 5 system is suitable for a given task.<br />

• Waste dumps & agricultural waste measurement.<br />

• Detection and monitoring of toxic gasses in industrial plants and in agricultural environments .<br />

• Detection and monitoring of product leaks in the chemical/petrochemical industry.<br />

• Air pollution monitoring.<br />

• Othe<strong>rs</strong><br />

<strong>ECOPROBE</strong> 5 can be also used as a sophisticated sampling device. An absorbent cartridge can be<br />

connected to the instrument outlet, collecting the soil gas which has been already measured.<br />
