USE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE FOR SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION
ADAMS COUNTY, CO

In an effort to remediate natural gas condensate in the soil of an active natural gas compression facility
in Colorado, Trihydro is designing and implementing a soil vapor extraction system. This system uses an
internal combustion engine to provide both the vacuum for soil vapor recovery and the combustion for
off gas control. The internal combustion engine is highly effective because it can provide a high mass
recovery rate, plus it has the potential for high vacuum; but most importantly, it does not require electric
power, making it a significantly more sustainable method of remediation.

SOLID WASTE MINIMIZATION AND DOD QUALIFIED RECYCLING
PROGRAM SUPPORT
FORT BENNING, GA

Trihydro is currently assisting Tiya Support Services (TSS) in establishing a Qualified Recycling Program
(QRP) at Fort Benning, GA. The QRP recently implemented a Pilot Program of 8 initiatives designed by
Trihydro’s Kelly Birkenhauer after conducting an Initial Study and Evaluation of the existing QRP. The
program seeks to increase solid waste diversion to meet Executive Order 13514 and re-align Fort Benning’s
QRP with Army requirements. Trihydro is assisting the QRP Manager in establishing the program, preparing
all necessary forms for data collection to evaluate progress, developing SOPs for the recycling collections
and processing operations, and providing monthly progress and program evaluation reports to TSS for
submission to the Fort Benning Department of Public Works. Trihydro has also been supporting Pilot
Program marketing efforts by designing educational posters, flyers, and other materials
