Pilot-scale studies of solvent extraction treatment of PCB- and PAH-contaminated soil and sediment. Final report
This project evaluated the ability of solvent extraction to achieve cleanup standards for remediation of soil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs). Both pre-design and design phase pilot-scale treatability testing of soil and sediments were conducted at the O`Connor Company Superfund Site, using CF Systems (CF) proprietary solvent extraction process. The goal of pilot-scale testing was to determine whether CF`s process would be able to treat site soils to the 1 ppm cleanup standards for PCBs and cPAHs set forth in the 1989 Record of Decision (pre-design testing) or to the revised 10 ppm cleanup standards established in a 1994 Explanation of Significant Differences (design phase testing).
