LTR - Ep 58 - Future Event - Large Scale Demonstration of "The New Remediation Paradigm" in Odessa, Texas

In this 58th episode, I discuss A Future Event - Large Scale Demonstration of "The New Remediation Paradigm" in Odessa, Texas.

Here's an opportunity that you don't want to miss.  It's the opportunity to see a large scale remediation in real time, implementing "The New Remediation Paradigm."

When:  The event is taking place on July 15, 2026 at 10 am.

Where:  Lighthouse Environmental at 17901 Interstate 20 Service Rd, Odessa, Texas.

Lighthouse Environmental is hosting Hanby Environmental and OMG Solutions to perform a large scale remediation demonstration.  The remediation area will be contaminated by a combination of Crude Oil, Diesel Fuel and Production Water (aka Produced Water, Brine Water, Salt Water).

Hanby's field Test Kits will provide the real time monitoring of the real and in-situ (in place) remediation by OMG's ELMN8.  ELMN8 is a non-hazardous and non-toxic ready to use solution that remediates upon contact.

The demonstration will allow the Attendees to get a first hand understanding for the entire remediation process of delineating the contamination area, testing, treating and retesting.  After the demonstration, samples will be jarred and sent for third-party validation by the lab and Attendees will be given the option to also take jarred samples to send off to their own labs.

Come see "The New Remediation Paradigm" and join "The Paradigm Shift!"

SPEAKER_02 0:27

Hey there, let's talk remediation. This is your host, Charles Fader, and it's our 58th episode of Let's Talk Remediation. Our 58th episode is brought to us by our ongoing sponsor, Hambi Environmental. Hambi Environmental is a manufacturer of field test kits providing real-time feedback for soil and solid surface and water analysis for the detection of petroleum hydrocarbons, whether it's aromatics or crude oils or refined fuels, as well as for PFAS and PFOS, as well as for chlorides. The test kits provide accurate results within 10% of a lab result, economical results at $35 a test for soil and solid surface and $45 a test for water analysis for petroleum hydrocarbons, as well as $250 a test for PFAS and PFOS, and $20 a test for chlorides analysis. And those results are efficient because you get the results in the soil and solid surface analysis in four minutes and six minutes for water, 10 minutes for PFAS and PFOS, and about three minutes for water analysis for chlorides and five minutes for soil analysis for chlorides. So thank you, Hambi Environmental, for your ongoing support of this podcast, Let's Talk Remediation, where we're trying to have a positive impact on the environmental remediation industry. And with that, let's get started with our 58th episode. And as additional support for this particular podcast, episode 58, we have OMG Solutions who is contributing as well as Lighthouse Environmental. And why why they are contributing is because this particular podcast is going to be different from the previous, where we have a typical topic or an interview, or we talk about a current event. Well, this one is like a current event, however, it's about a future event. And so what I want to talk about today is the future event that you have the opportunity to attend, where it's a collaboration between Hanbe Environmental and OMG Solutions and is being hosted at Lighthouse Environmental. So Lighthouse Environmental is an environmental contractor doing remediation work in the Midland Odessa area. And so we have introduced them to the new remediation paradigm, which is the powerful combination of the real-time feedback from the Hambi test kits monitoring the real-time and in-situ treatment from OMG Solutions uh product line called Eliminate, which is a ready-to-use solution that upon contact remediates. And so after introducing Lighthouse to our solutions and Lighthouse getting on board and starting to utilize them, uh we uh asked Lighthouse if they would be interested in hosting uh an opportunity where anybody in the particular area can come see a large-scale demonstration at their facility, and they said, let's do it. And so typically, when whenever uh Hambi Environmental and OMG Solutions, whenever we try to get people on board with uh the new remediation paradigm, uh which is the real-time monitoring of real-time treatment or remediation, we typically will do a tabletop demonstration. A tabletop demonstration where either we have uh the prospect bring us blind samples, or we will create a sample right there in front of them on our tabletop demonstration, where whereby, for example, if we were doing um soil, we would take clean soil, test it, show it to them that's clean just so they can see the process of analyzing a soil sample, because we can go slow and uh step by step and say what's going on, have a discussion through that process. And it's really just to show the method for using, say, the Hambi test kit to analyze a soil sample. Then what we would do is we would uh contaminate that soil with a sample of a contaminant like crude oil or gasoline or diesel fuel. Um uh and all like I said, we always encourage people to to bring a blind sample if they got it, and we typically say, hey, bring us your dirtiest sample you got. But if they don't have one for us, we would, you know, like I said, we would create one. And then we would retest that, say that soil, and show the contamination level. So now we have a contaminated soil sample, so then we would remediate it by applying the eliminate OMG solutions product, eliminate to the soil, and then we would retest it with the Hambi test kit again. And it's the same process for you know water or water samples, whether somebody had a water sample for us or we had to create one. If we created one, we do a water demonstration. We typically would have a split sample, we would test it, show what the contamination level is before, and then treat the other sample and then test it after treatment and show you know the remediation work there on the water sample. The same thing applies whether you're talking whatever type of contaminant we're talking about, whether it is uh a crude oil, a refined fuel, an individual aromatic such as benzene, um, any type of petroleum hydrocarbon and or uh PFAS or PFOS andor chlorides. It's the same method. So that's our tip typical tabletop demonstration. We typically would have a sample, show the contamination level, then we would uh treat that sample and then retest it and show in real time. And oftentimes, we also, when we're doing demonstrations, we actually just show how simple the process is uh and to give more credibility to it. Uh we ask people from the audience, would you like to uh go ahead and and analyze this sample yourself to show the Hambi method is very, very simple. And then we would, you know, you know, show everybody the treatment of that contamination and say somebody else, you know, who who would like to now, you know, run the post-treatment. So it just takes our hands out of it, gives us an opportunity to do more discussion during the tabletop demonstration, and gives that additional credibility and belief from people putting their hands on it themselves. So seeing is believing, right? So that's our typical tabletop demonstration. Now, you know, what we love about that is it's in the tabletop, it's kind of like in a bowl, if you will. So for all the naysayers out there that say that how do we know that you're not just, you know, pushing down the contamination further in the soil, what we would say is, well, where would it go? It's sitting here in the bowl. And oftentimes, uh in during those tabletop demonstrations, we also have jarred up samples and sent them off to a lab for a lab analysis, and we encourage others to do the same. So then we can we have multiple labs. We have the one we sent ours off to, which is typically pace analytical, and um we say, send this off to your to your lab as well, and we'll let's compare the results. And uh so and and it they the results tend to always follow what the the Hambi told us that we already knew, right? So what we decided here is that since you know we we kind of do that all the time, uh, and that's great, you know, because it gives the credibility to it, but we wanted to overcome the large scale. And the large scale is really because oftentimes, you know, people you know see it so they believe it and they they buy into this new remediation paradigm. However, it's not uh the tabletop is is not the bench test, is not the same as being out in the field, and so oftentimes, you know, people are left guessing or we're on the phone with them and trying to tell them how to do it in the field. So we wanted the opportunity to have a larger scale real-world demonstration where you know we have, you know, uh a whole uh a whole um area that needs to be remediated and do it on a large scale, you know, with uh the application, with the the um the the treatment in in the field in a large area that's utilizing an excavator to to do the treatment, to apply the product, to till the product into the solution to the soil. So in this case we're talking about soil, obviously. So uh Lighthouse Environmental is giving us the opportunity to do that. So we are going to do that, and so we're inviting anybody in the Midland Odessa area out to Lighthouse Environmental to see this large scale in-field demonstration where we'll have you know dialogue uh during and after, you know, this uh this demonstration where you know we have a large scale uh where we are going to spill a combination of produced water, brine water, production water, salt water, you know. Uh, you know, so we're gonna have you know the the area is gonna be contaminated with produced water, right? So we have the chlorides that we want to remediate. Uh and then in addition to that, we're going to also contaminate that same area with uh petroleum hydrocarbons. We're gonna put some crude oil out on the ground so that we can demonstrate the remediation process and the testing and monitoring of that. We're going to use the Hambi environmental TPH field test kit to analyze and know before uh treatment and after treatment and where we are uh as far as total petroleum hydrocarbons. And then in addition to that, because we also know that there's contamination of chlorides there, we're going to do the same. We're gonna use the HAMBI chlorides test kit for the before and the monitoring and after uh remediation uh by the eliminate product um where we so we know where we are, right? So we'll have the before treatment and after treatment, and if it required an additional treatment, we would have the in-between the monitoring. So this is going to take place on July the 15th. So uh in about two weeks, July the 15th at 10 a.m. at Lighthouse Environmental, which is located at 17901 Interstate 20 Service Road in Odessa, Texas. So we want to get as many people there to see this live and in action, um, to not just uh know that the remediation works, but to see how the process uh is done, how the application of the solution, the eliminate solution, which is a ready-to-use solution that's non-hazardous and non-toxic, but it's had has to contact the contaminant in order to break it down. So we want to be in field on a larger scale to see how to apply the solution and then how to make it work. So, you know, if you have dry soil, you want to dampen the soil a little bit prior to the application of the product to make it permeable to the solution. The solution has to come in contact with the contaminant in order to break it down. So we want to be there and everybody to see how this works. So we're gonna dampen the soil a little bit, not to the point that you have a bunch of standing puddles around, but just to make it permeable so that when we spray the ready-to-use solution, the eliminate product, on it doesn't clump up from dry soil. It's permeable. It allows the solution to flow easy through the soil. And then we're going to till the soil. Uh we're tilling the eliminate solution and creating the contact with the contaminants that are in the soil and that you know has been contacted on the surface. We're tilling it in, and we're also during that process of tilling, you're bringing up the soil from underneath where the contaminants have you know soaked through through or are leached or seeped through and bringing them to the surface, and then at which time we would again s dampen the dry soil that's been brought to the surface, and then apply the eliminate solution to it, and then till it again to create that contact again. So the process there is apply uh a little bit of water if needed, apply the eliminate solution, till it in, uh, apply a little bit of water again, apply the eliminate solution again, and then till it in again, and then you know, test to find out where you're at. So on July the 15th at 10 a.m. at Lighthouse Environmental at 17901 Interstate 20 Service Road in Odessa, Texas, we want you to come out and see this live large-scale demonstration put on by Hanby Environmental and OMG Solutions and hosted by Lighthouse Environmental. We are going to show you in real time the entire process of doing a large-scale remediation for total petroleum hydrocarbons with a contaminant of crude oil or diesel fuel, and it could be a combination of both. We might put both out there, as well as chlorides, meaning from production water, produced water, you know, brine water, whatever you want to call it. It's salt water. Uh we're going to have both those contaminants out there in this large-scale area so that we can show you how to utilize your Hambi TPH field test kit and your Hambi chlorides field test kit to first know the contamination level before you start to remediate, then the uh to remediate it and find out the knockdown, how far have you got it? Are you below the thresholds you need to be, which is 1% for TPH, which is 10,000 parts per million, or uh 3,000 uh chlorides, 3,000 ppm. Have you met that threshold yet? Or do you need to continue with a another uh treatment uh of the eliminate solution or to then uh test again to find out if you're below that threshold? Or after the first application, the remediation worked and you're you're below the threshold already. So using the Hambi test get to know your starting contamination level and to monitor during remediation have I met the threshold and got there yet or not? And if I have, then I'm done. At that point in time, you know, the remediation is going to be uh demonstrated by Randy Cook of OMG Solutions with this excavator with the sprayer application on the front and the tiller on the back. So literally he's gonna make passes with the excavator, and as he does, he's treating in front and tilling in back. So each time he does a pass, he's you know remediating, doing it all in one swoop. So we want to show how this is done. Now, on smaller scale deals, you know, obviously you can use hand tillers and that type of thing, but we're trying to show what a large-scale remediation um uh project uh how how it looks and how it goes, right? So that's our that's our goal for our July 15th at 10 a.m. at Lighthouse Environmental 17901 in uh Interstate 20 Service Road in Odessa, Texas. Come join us again, July 15th, 10 a.m. Lighthouse environmental in Odessa, Texas, where we will be demonstrating Hambi environmentals TPH field test kits uh for soil, as well as Hambi environmentals chlorides uh test kits, which we're gonna again test for chlorides and soil, as well as OMG solutions product eliminate, which is the in-situ, meaning in place, real-time upon contact remediation solution that is non-hazardous and non-toxic, and upon contact will remediate both the contaminants of crude oil and diesulfuel. If we add that one in there as well, it will remediate both upon contact as well as the chloride contamination, all with the same treatment. Eliminate will remediate all of them. And so we will be demonstrating this when again, July 15th, what time, 10 a.m. Where Lighthouse Environmental at 17901 Interstate 20 Service Road in Odessa, Texas. Come join us, see how to remediate, join the new remediation paradigm where we are creating a paradigm shift in the way remediation is performed. The new remediation paradigm is the combination of real-time feedback from hand-by environmental field test kits coupled with real-time and in- situation treatment of contaminants by OMG solutions product called Eliminate. And so join us. It's about two weeks away. Come join us and join the paradigm shift. The paradigm shift is the new remediation paradigm, creating the paradigm shift, the new way in how to deal with contamination. No more digging and hauling. That dinosaur method is old. It is a relocation of contamination, moving it from one place to another, out of sight, out of mind. However, it is a relocation, it is not remediation. Digging and hauling is a thing of the past. Let's stop moving contamination around and creating future superfund sites where we move contamination from one place to another, where that contamination continues to spread and is not dealt with. Let's remediate it in real time. Join the new remediation paradigm where we are creating a paradigm shift in actually remediating contamination in place and in real time. And with that, that is the 58th episode. Remember, in two weeks, come join us July 15th, 10 a.m. in Odessa, Texas at Lighthouse Environmental. Join us.
