TSI professionals work promptly to evaluate the remedial alternatives, after considering the following factors:
Laboratory testing is essential in order to gain a full knowledge of the specific nature of a contaminant and how it responds to treatment. TSI uses EPA-certified commercial laboratories to prepare reportable analyses.
After conducting chemical analyses, TSI specialists use additional resources to help define potential remedial alternatives, consider the strengths and weaknesses of each one, and choose the most practical solution. TSI personnel conduct literature searches to see how similar problems have been handled in the field. In addition, TSI examines chemical property, personal hazard, and regulatory data bases and conducts bench-and pilot-scale tests. When several remedial options are feasible, TSI consultants prepare preliminary cost estimates to clarify the relative economics of the technically feasible alternatives. Discounted cash-flow comparisons are frequently made to evaluate the relative long-term value of each alternative. The options are then ranked in order of overall benefits to reflect the optimum balance of what is technically feasible, will meet regulatory criteria, and is most cost-effective. The client can then make an informed decision and present the best plan to the regulators.
