Spring 2025 Boom School – Training the Next Generation of Spill Responders

As the emergency response industry continues to evolve, each new challenge becomes an opportunity to improve. In response to these changes, ACME Environmental and Rapid Response Systems offered a four-day Boom School from April 7–10, 2025. This boom deployment course provided emergency responders with the latest technologies and strategies to enhance situational awareness and decision-making. The hybrid course combined classroom instruction with field training exercises, incorporating proven deployment and response tactics alongside emerging technologies and systems relevant to today’s industry. During this boom school, students learned the best practices and the latest solutions to develop better incident action plans (IAP’s), incident command posts (ICP’s), improve communication, and strengthen their ability to execute current preplanned response strategies.

How To Combat The Sargassum Invasion

Research is showing that massive layers of Sargassum in the Atlantic will invade many coastal regions in 2025. Maps are showing clouds of Sargassum approaching the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and northern parts of South America at a rapid pace and are washing up on shores daily. Sargassum is a type of brown seaweed that floats in massive quantities across the ocean, often washing up along coastlines. While it plays a vital role offshore for marine ecosystems by providing a habitat and food for various marine species, excessive sargassum accumulation on beaches can become a major issue.

Ex Situ Remediation

Ex Situ Remediation techniques involve treating contaminated soil outside of its original location. One common method is bioremediation, where microorganisms are used to break down and degrade hydrocarbons present in the soil. Another approach is thermal desorption, which utilizes heat to vaporize and separate contaminants from the soil. Once treated, the soil is either returned to its original location or utilized in other applications. ACME Environmental specializes in an additional form of Ex Situ soil treatment that involves treating the impacted soil with a peroxide-based solution that oxidizes and releases the hydrocarbons from the soil. This process involves shredding the soil to create more surface area and then treating it with this solution as it leaves the shredding machine. The soil is then tested and returned to the original pit.

Baffles In Water Treatment Plants

Complying with wastewater discharge permits can be challenging due to growth, design changes, and regulatory fluctuations. Floating baffles optimize water movement by creating specific flow patterns that increase the amount of time water is being treated. This enhances the separation of contaminants and the settling of solid particles, leading to better performance in various treatment processes. Customized flow patterns ensure that water travels a longer path through a water treatment plant, improve the separation and filtration processes, and result in cleaner outputs with reduced environmental impact.
