Corrective Action Application Circulating fluidized bed incinerators are ready for full-scale testing under the EPA SITE Program. A unit is now in the RCRA permitting process. 

Corrective Action Application This technology is currently being evaluated under the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program. 

For relative comparisons, tests at a controlled held site resulted in almost complete recovery of kerosene from sand after 126 pore volumes of steam flushing. An EPA SITE program reported 85 to 99% removal of chlorinated VOCs from clay...

In July of 1990, the Biotrol methanotrophic bioreactor system was accepted into the EPA s SITE emerging technology program. The Biotrol system was tested at the bench- and pilot-scale levels under the SITE program. One of the objectives of the study was to determine operating costs for parameters that influence the economic competitiveness of the system (D10498D). 

Energy cost for a 4-month pilot-scale test on a 2-ton kaoUnite specimen contaminated with 2000 p.g/g of lead was approximately 15 per ton. Energy costs from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (ERA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program demonstration conducted in 1994 were approximately 6 per ton per month (D12696P, p. 283). 

Based on data from the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program demonstration, total demonstration project costs were calculated to be 813,505 (1992 dollars). The vendor calculated costs to prepare for and execute the treatability study at their pilot-scale... 

In 1991, the SERF was demonstrated at the Rainbow Disposal site in Huntington Beach, California, under the Environmental Frotection Agency s (EFA s) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program. Total costs for the remediation at the site was approximately 4,400,000. This cost does not include legal fees. The total amount of soil that was considered to have undergone treatment was 95,000 yd, which includes the volume of soil within the treatment perimeter between the depths of 20 and 40 ft. This yields a treatment cost of 43/yd (D15382M, p. 7). 

Initial costs for Ambersorb 563 are higher than for GAC, however, savings may be reahzed after the system has been operating for approximately 18 months when the impact of lower operation and maintenance costs are felt. Cost information from a U.S. EPA SITE program demonstration in 1994 at the former Pease Air Force Base in Newington, New Hampshire, is presented in Table 1. The actual demonstration was pilot scale, with a rate of 1 gal/min (4 liters/min), but the cost data is based on a 100-gal/min (389 liters/min) extrapolation from the pilot study. 

In 1997, MBS technology was demonstrated for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA s) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program at the Midvale Slag Superfund site in Utah. For this demonstration, an estimate was prepared of the total costs to treat the approximately 2 million tons of waste at the site. This estimate was based on a full-scale facility capable of treating 10,000 tons per day. Based on a scale-up from the demonstration, and on information supplied by the vendor, costs were estimated to be 16 per ton (D176710, p. 2). 

All estimated costs for the full-scale VRU are based on results from the pilot-scale unit tested at the U.S. EPA s Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program, and aU costs are given in 1993 U.S. dollars. At this demonstration, the unit treated 100 lb of soil per hour. The full-scale unit is expected to have a treatment capacity of 10 tons per hour (tph).

Under the auspices of the SITE Program, and in cooperation with the City of Bay City, Michigan Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Energy US EPA conducted the demonstration of the gas-phase chemical reduction process at Bay City s Middleground Landfill. The landfill accepted municipal and industrial wastes for approx 40 yr. A 1991 remedial investigation indicated elevated...
