Innovative treatment technologies: Semi-annual status report. (Third edition)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5244787
The twice-yearly report contains site-specific information on Superfund sites (both remedial and emergency response actions) where innovative treatment technologies have been or are being used. Innovative treatment technologies are treatment technologies for which a lack of data on cost and performance makes their selection and use at Superfund sites more difficult. The report documents the use of the following innovative treatment technologies to treat ground water in situ, soils, sediments, sludge, and solid-matrix wastes; bioremediation (ex situ), bioremediation (in situ), chemical treatment, dechlorination, in situ flushing, in situ vitrification, soil vapor extraction, soil washing, solvent extraction, thermal desorption, and other technologies. The report includes information on 210 applications of innovative treatment technologies for Superfund remedial actions and 18 applications for emergency response actions. The April 1992 issue updates the status of each project listed in the September 1991 report. Additions to the report include 70 innovative treatment technologies selected for remedial actions in Fiscal Year 1991 Superfund Records of Decision (RODs) and more detailed information on completed projects.
