Remediation strategies for source materials and contaminated media at manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites. Final report
This report contains information on remediation technologies that can be used to manage source material and contaminated media it manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites. Source material has been defined as free-phase hydrocarbons or tars and purifier box wastes. Contaminated media include soil, sediment, and groundwater which have been in contact with source material and which contain contaminants that are characteristic of the source material, i.e., volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenolic Compounds, cyanide, and selected metals. The remediation technologies described in this report were identified based upon their potential applicability to MGP site residuals, their commercial availability, and/or their previous full-scale applications at MGP or related sites such as petroleum refineries, wood treatino, facilities, or by-product coke manufacturing facilities. In this context, commercial availability means that the technology can be obtained from multiple vendors and can be incorporated into a full-scale site remediation. The major components of each technology are described and the use of the technology at an MGP site, including its advantages and limitations, are discussed. In addition, the key factors that influence the selection and performance of the technology are also present- ed.
