Technologies and options for UST corrective actions: Overview of current practice

Technical Report · Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6719061

A number of ex-situ and in-situ technologies are currently being used across the U.S. to treat petroleum contaminated media and debris generated at leaking underground storage tank (UST) corrective action sites. The objectives of this study are: to examine the current level of use of corrective action treatment technologies at leaking underground storage tank sites; to summarize experience with these technologies as documented in the literature in terms of treatment efficiency, relationship of performance to key operating parameters, and costs; and to summarize current state requirements that may affect the selection of technologies.
