OSTI ID:6001389

To meet the challenge of cleanup of Superfund sites at federal facilities, the U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency is devising innovative ways to treat wastes on site. In this issue of Tech Trends, Cpt. Craig Myler tells about an innovative Low Temperature Thermal Stripping process to treat soil contaminated with cleaning solvents and fuels. The process expends less energy and is lower in cost than incineration.
