1、Designation: D7352 18Standard Practice forVolatile Contaminant Logging Using a Membrane InterfaceProbe (MIP) in Unconsolidated Formations with Direct PushMethods1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7352; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal

2、adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This standard practice describes a field procedure for therapid del

3、ineation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in thesubsurface using a membrane interface probe. Logging withthe membrane interface probe is usually performed with directpush (DP) equipment. DP methods are typically used in soilsand unconsolidated formations, not competent rock.1.2 This standard prac

The data obtained isindicative of the total VOC level in the subsurface at depth.The MIP detector responses provide insight into the relativecontaminant concentration based upon the magnitude of detec-tor responses and a determ

5、ination of compound class basedupon which detectors of the series respond.1.3 The use of a lithologic logging tool is highly recom-mended to define hydrostratigraphic conditions, such as migra-tion pathways, and to guide confirmation sampling and reme-diation efforts. Other sensors, such as electric

6、al conductivity,hydraulic profiling tool, fluorescence detectors, and conepenetration tools may be included to provide additional infor-mation.1.4 Since MIP results are not quantitative, soil and watersampling (Guides D6001, D6282, D6724, and Practice D6725)methods are needed to identify specific an

7、alytes and exactconcentrations. MIP detection limits are subject to the selec-tivity of the gas phase detector applied and characteristics ofthe formation being penetrated (for example: permeability,saturation, clay and organic carbon content).1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound u

8、nitsgiven in brackets are to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. Reporting of test resul

9、ts inunits other than SI shall not be regarded as nonconformancewith this standard.1.6 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026, unless superseded by this standard.1.6.1 The procedures used to specify how data

10、is collected/recorded and calculated in the standard are regarded as theindustry standard. In addition, they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should be retained. The proce-dures used do not consider material variation, purpose forobtaining the data, special purpose studies,

11、 or any consider-ations for the users objectives; and it is common practice toincrease or reduce significant digits of reported data to becommensurate with these considerations. It is beyond the scopeof these test methods to consider significant digits used inanalytical methods for engineering data.

Other sensors may be run in tandem with the MIP(e.g. electrical conductivity (EC), hydraulic profiling tool(HPT), cone penetration testing (CPT) to provide lithologicdata simultaneously (5-7, D6

37、067, D8037).4.2 A semipermeable membrane on the probe is heated to atemperature of 100 to 120C 212 to 250F. Clean carrier gasis circulated across the internal surface of the membrane.VOCs diffuse across the membrane under a concentrationgradient into the carrier gas. The VOCs are transported in thec

Probeadvancement is stopped for about 45 seconds at each depth.This allows time for the heater to warm the probe/formation,for VOCs to cross the membrane into the carrier gas line andtravel to the up-hole detector system, and for desorption ofcontaminants off the membrane after

Logs may be printed for reports or viewed onscreen.4.6 After reaching the end of the log the probe is retractedusing the DP machine.4.7 MIP bore holes must be properly sealed to meet localregulatory code.5. Significance and Use5.1 The MIP system provides a timely and cost effect

42、iveway for delineation of many VOC plumes (for example,gasoline, benzene, toluene, solvents, trichloroethylene, tetra-chloroethylene) with depth (1, 2, 4, 8, 9). MIP detector logsprovide insight into the relative contaminant concentrationbased upon the response magnitude of detector and a determi-na

43、tion of compound class based upon which detectors of theseries respond of the bulk VOC distribution in the subsurfacebut do not provide analyte specificity (1, 2, 7). DPlogging toolssuch as the MIP are often used to perform expedited sitecharacterizations (10, 11, D5730) and develop detailed concep-

44、tual site models (E1689). The project manager should deter-mine if the required data quality objectives (D5792) can beachieved with a MIP investigation. MIP logging is typicallyone part of an overall investigation program.5.2 MIP logs provide a detailed record of VOC distributionin the saturated and

46、le com-pounds from the formation across the membrane and into thecarrier gas stream. One study has evaluated the effects oftemperature and pressure at the face of the membrane onanalyte permeability (12). Formation factors such as degree ofsaturation, clay content, proportion of organic carbon, poro

47、sityand permeability will also influence the efficiency of analytemovement from the formation across the membrane. Of course,the volatility, concentration, molecular size and mass, andwater solubility of each specific VOC will influence movementacross the membrane and rate of transport through the c

48、arriergas line to the detectors.5.4 High analyte concentrations or the presence of Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) in the formation can result inanalyte carry over in the MIPlog (8, 13).This is a result of highanalyte concentrations within the membrane matrix requiringtime to diffuse out of the memb

49、rane into the carrier gas stream.This effect can lead to tailing of detector peaks on the MIP logto deeper intervals. Use of appropriate detectors and detectorsensitivity settings can reduce this effect (14). Experience withlog interpretation also helps to identify analyte carryover. Ofcourse, targeted soil or groundwater sampling (D6001, D6282)FIG. 1 The Primary Components of a Typical MIP SystemD7352 183should be performed routinely to verify log results and assistwith log interpretation and site characterization (subsection1.4).5.5 Some volatile cont
