The document provides a detailed description of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Reduction Laboratory's (RREL's) Volume Reduction Unit (VRU) process and system. Detailed results from a demonstration of the VRU was conducted in the fall of 1992 using RREL's pilot-scale unit at the Escambia Treating Company Superfund Site in Pensacola, Florida. The technological effectiveness and the economics of the process are assessed on the basis of extensive analytical and quality assurance programs. Quality assurance of the sampling and analysis effort is an integral part of this document. Operational data and sampling and analysis information were carefully compiled to establish a database against which other available data, as well as the developer's claims, could be compared and evaluated.
