In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) typically delivers oxidant solutions into the subsurface for contaminant destruction. Contaminants available to the oxidants, however, are limited by the mass transfer of hydrophobic contaminants into the aqueous phase. ISCO treatments therefore often leave sites with temporarily clean groundwater which is subject to contaminant rebound when sorbed and free phase contaminants leach back into the aqueous phase. Surfactant Enhanced In situ Chemical Oxidation (S-ISCO^®) uses a combined oxidant-surfactant solution to provide optimized contaminant delivery to the oxidants for destruction via desorption and emulsification of the contaminants by the surfactants. This article provides an overview of S-ISCO technology, followed by an implementation case study at a coal tar contaminated site in Queens, New York. Included are data points from the site which demonstrate how S-ISCO delivers desorbed contaminants without uncontrolled contaminant mobilization, as desorbed and emulsified contaminants are immediately available to the simultaneously injected oxidant for reaction.
