SCG Industries Limited utilizes an innovative technology for the spatial characterization of free phase petroleum hydrocarbons in soil and groundwater called UVOST® (UltraViolet Optical Screening Tool). This technique adapts Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy, a powerful optical analytical method, for in-situ environmental assessment purposes. The technology involves slowly driving a fluorometric probe into the subsurface (1-2cm/sec) while concurrently gathering fluorescence-based data. The spectral data recovered provides information on the spatial distribution, type and relative concentration of the petroleum liquids in the subsurface. Contaminated site issues are abundant in Canada. For example there are over 22,000 contaminated sites listed in the Federal Contaminated Sites Inventory (as of 2012). Due to its large aerial span Canada is unique in that many contaminated sites across the country are only accessible by helicopter or small payload planes during the summer months. Although SCG's UVOST® offers substantial analytical and cost benefits, compared to traditional sampling methodologies, it is hampered by physical limitations in its use. In order to advance the probe into the subsurface a drill rig must be deployed. Due to these limitations currently SCGs innovative technology cannot be easily applied to many remote sites across Canada. As hydrocarbons are the most common contaminant in the Federal Contaminated Sites Inventory, the development of a deployable tool capable of functioning in remote environments would expand the practical capabilities of this technology. The goal of this project is to design, build, and pilot test a collapsible hand based drilling/driving unit to allow for the application of SCGs UVOST® technology at Sable Island (in cooperation with Park's Canada Agency). Development of this technology will allow for UVOST® application in areas of Canada not previously accessible and help provide for a cleaner Canadian environment giving Canadians assurance that their drinking water and environment will be sustained for future generations.

SCG实业有限公司利用一项创新技术对自由相进行空间表征 土壤和地下水中的石油碳氢化合物称为UVOST®(紫外线光学筛选工具)。这 技术采用激光诱导荧光(LIF)光谱技术，这是一种强大的光学分析方法 现场环境评估目的。这项技术包括缓慢地将荧光探头驱动到 在地下(1-2厘米/秒)同时采集基于荧光的数据。恢复的光谱数据 提供有关石油液体的空间分布、类型和相对浓度的信息 地下。 受污染的场地问题在加拿大比比皆是。例如，列出了超过22,000个受污染的地点 在联邦污染场地清单中(截至2012年)。由于其巨大的空中跨度，加拿大在这方面是独一无二的 全国许多受污染的地点只能通过直升机或小载荷飞机在 夏天的几个月。尽管SCG的UVOST®提供了大量的分析和成本效益，但与 传统的抽样方法，在使用上受到物理限制。为了推进 探测地下时，必须部署钻机。由于这些限制，目前SCGs正在创新 技术不能轻易地应用于加拿大各地的许多偏远地区。因为碳氢化合物是最 联邦污染场地常见污染物清单，开发可部署工具 能够在偏远环境中发挥作用，将扩大这项技术的实际能力。这个 该项目的目标是设计、建造和试点测试一种可折叠的手动钻井/驱动单元，以允许 Sable Island应用SCGS UVOST®技术(与Park‘s Canada Agency合作)。 这项技术的发展将使UVOST®在加拿大以前不再适用 并帮助提供一个更清洁的加拿大环境，让加拿大人保证他们的饮酒 水和环境将为子孙后代维持下去。
