Remediation case studies: Innovative groundwater treatment technologies. Volume 11

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:293298

The case studies present available cost and performance information for full-scale remediation efforts and several large-scale demonstration projects. They are meant to serve as primary reference sources, and contain information on site background and setting, contaminants and media treated, technology, cost and performance, and points of contact for the technology application. The studies contain varying levels of detail, reflecting the differences in the availability of data and information. The case studies in this volume describe twelve groundwater remediation applications that used innovative treatment technologies. Three of the applications used permeable reactive barriers; four used in-situ bioremediation (some in conjunction with pump and treat); one used air sparging alone; one used a combination of in-situ bioremediation, air sparging, and pump and treat; one used a combination air and stream stripping process; one used a membrane filtration process; and one used a chemical reaction and dissolved air flotation process. Seven of these applications were conducted at full scale, and the remaining five at a field demonstration scale. Contaminants treated included chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and metals.
