The MIP is a continuously samplingtool advanced through the soil using a direct push machine forthe purpose of logging c

24、ontaminant and lithologic data in realtime (1, 2).44.2 A semipermeable membrane on the probe is heated to atemperature of 100 to 120C. Clean carrier gas is circulatedacross the internal surface of the membrane carrying volatileorganic contaminants, which have diffused (3) through themembrane, to the

25、 surface for analysis by gas phase detectors.5. Significance and Use5.1 The MIP system provides a timely and cost effectiveway (4) for delineation of volatile organic contaminants (forexample, benzene, toluene, solvents, trichloroethylene, tetra-chloroethylene) with depth (5, 6). Recent investigatio

26、n (2) hasfound the MIP can be effective in locating zones where densenonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) may be present. MIPprovides real-time measurement for optimizing selection ofsample locations when using a dynamic work plan. By identi-fying the depth at which a contaminant is located, a morerepre

27、sentative sample of soil or water can be collected.5.2 Correlation of a series of MIP logs across a site canprovide 2-D and 3-D definition of the contaminant plume.When lithologic logs are obtained (EC, CPT, etc.) with the MIPdata, contaminant migration pathways may be defined.5.3 The MIP logs provi

29、ation of this practice maybe used to guide soil (Guide D 6282) and groundwater sam-pling (Guide D 6001) or placement of long-term monitoringwells (Guide D 6724).5.5 MIP data can be used to optimize site remediation byknowing the depth distribution of volatile organic contami-nants. For example, mate

30、rials injected for remediation areplaced at correct depths in the formation.5.6 This practice also may be used as a means of evaluatingremediation performance. MIP can provide a cost-effectiveway to monitor the progress of remediation. When properlyperformed at suitable sites, logging locations can

31、be comparedfrom the initial investigation to the monitoring of the contami-nant under remediation conditions.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Practitioners

32、that meet thecriteria of Practice D 3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D 3740 does not in itself assurereliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D

33、 3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors. Practice D 3740 wasdeveloped for agencies engaged in the testing and/or inspection of soilsand rock. As such, it is not totally applicable to agencies performing thispractice. However, users of this practice should recognize that theframewor

34、k of Practice D 3740 is appropriate for evaluating the quality ofan agency performing this practice. Currently there is no known qualify-ing national authority that inspects agencies that perform this practice.6. Apparatus6.1 GeneralThe following discussion provides descrip-tions and details for the

35、 Membrane Interface Probe and systemcomponents (Fig. 1). Additional details on the MIP system areavailable in the Geoprobe MIP SOP (1).6.1.1 The American Society for Testing and Materials takesno position respecting the validity of any patent rights assertedin connection with any item mentioned in t

36、his standard. Usersof this standard are expressly advised that determination of thevalidity of any such patent rights, and the risk of infringementof such rights, are entirely their own responsibility.6.2 Membrane Interface ProbeThe MIP is the interfacebetween the bulk formation and the gas phase de

37、tectors uphole. Volatile compounds outside the probe diffuse across themembrane and are swept up hole via an inert carrier gas (Fig.2).6.2.1 The membrane is set in a removable insert. It isconstructed of a polymer coating impregnated into stainlesssteel wire mesh.6.2.2 The membrane is inserted into

38、a heater block. Theelevated temperature of the heater block is used to speed thediffusion of contaminants out of the bulk formation and4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.D7352072through the membrane. This heater block has a regulatedtemper

39、ature typically set at 100 to 120C.6.2.3 Tubing is used to supply carrier gas to the membrane.Two tubes are used: a supply tube running from the carrier gassource to the membrane and a return tube running from themembrane to the gas phase detectors at ground surface.6.2.4 The MIP system may be confi

40、gured with a soilelectrical conductivity dipole for simultaneous collection ofgeneral lithologic data.6.2.5 The MIP probe may be coupled to a CPT probe at itslower end for simultaneous collection of CPT data (Fig. 3).6.3 MIP TrunklineThis cable consists of electrical wiresfor heating the MIP heater

41、block and supplying voltage toadditional sensors. The trunkline also contains gas lines for thetransport of VOCs from the probe to detectors up-hole. Thistrunkline is packaged in a durable, protective jacketing to beprestrung through steel drive rods prior to logging (Fig. 2).6.4 MIP ControllerThe M

42、IP controller is used to controlthe flow delivered to the membrane and the voltage deliveredto the heater block and electrical conductivity dipole electrode.The primary features of the MIP controller include:6.4.1 Primary pressure regulator to control the pressure ofcarrier gas to the flow regulatio

43、n circuit of the MIP controller.6.4.2 A mass flow controller is used to regulate the flow ofcarrier gas through the MIP system. Typical flow rates of 20 to60 mL/min are used in the operation of the membrane interfaceprobe.6.4.3 Temperature controller regulates the voltage suppliedto the heater block

44、 to maintain an elevated temperature in thesubsurface. The temperature controller has two outputs on anLCD. The top output is the temperature of the membrane in theheater block. The bottom output is the set temperature of thecontroller; the manufacturer sets this temperature at 121C.6.4.4 Analog sig

45、nal input from the detector system. Theanalog outputs from the gas phase detectors are connected tothe controller to be transferred to the data acquisition system.6.5 Data Acquisition SystemThe primary purpose of thissystem is to save and graph data collected from the MIP probeand detector system in

46、 real time. The data saved by theacquisition system are: depth; soil electrical conductivity; rateof probe penetration into the subsurface; temperature of theprobe; pressure of the carrier gas supply at the flow controller;and four possible gas phase detector inputs. The primarycomponents of the dat

47、a acquisition system include:6.5.1 Alpha/numeric keypad for entry of site location infor-mation,6.5.2 Internal and/or external data storage device for trans-fer of data from acquisition system to desktop or laptopcomputers, and6.5.3 Global positioning system connections for acquiringlatitude and lon

48、gitude locations of logging location and storageof this data directly to the log file.6.6 Detector SystemLaboratory grade, gas phase detec-tors are needed for the detection of volatile organic contami-nants in the carrier gas stream. Detectors may be in a gaschromatograph or in a stand-alone chassis

49、. Different detectorsare used for identification of species groups of volatile com-pounds, not individual volatile compounds. Certain detectorsmay be operated in series for the detection of differentcontaminant types. A brief discussion of commonly useddetectors with the MIP system is provided.6.6.1 Photoionization Detector (PID)The PID uses anintense beam of ultraviolet radiation to ionize molecules in theeffluent of the MIPcarrier gas stream for analyte detection. ThePID is a non-destructive detector and can therefore be used inseries with other detector types.
