Proceedings: 1981 PCB seminar
- eds.
The EPRI PCB seminar, held in Dallas, Texas, on December 1 to 3, 1981, was the first comprehensive seminar covering PCB problems and solutions of interest to the electric utilities. The purpose of the meeting, attended by 300 participants, was to present emerging technologies and ideas for PCB analysis and removal. The major areas covered were: background and history of the problem, analytic techniques, spill cleanup, destruction of askarels, treatment of capacitors, and decontamination of oil. Both EPRI-sponsored and independently developed projects are included. In addition to the ongoing research on new technologies, some presentations cover processes ready or almost ready for commercialization. Supplementing the proceedings, a videotape of author interviews was prepared and is available for purchase from EPRI (415/855-2286).
