On-site treatment in batch reactors using refinery and wood-preserving waste added to soil resulted in highly variable loss of PAHs over a year (Aprill et al. 1990). An extensive study (Ellis et al. 1991) examined a number of design features, and the relative merits of on-site and off-site treatments of a... 

The technology can treat organic contaminants such as pesticides, fuels, creosote, and pen-tachlorophenol. The technology has treated coal tars, refinery wastes, hydrocarbons, and wood preserving wastes in full-scale applications. 

The SBP slurry-phase bioremediation system can treat a wide range of organic contamination, especially wood-preserving wastes and solvents. A modified version can also treat polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as creosote and coal tar pentachlorophenol (PCP) total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and chlorinated aliphatics, such as trichloroethene (TCE). The technology can be combined with SBP s membrane filtration system to form a soil cleaning system to handle residuals and contaminated liquids.

The technology actually employed in treating a given waste depends upon waste characteristics primarily, but it is also influenced by such other factors as available land area, volume of discharge, and disposition of treated waste. Oil separation, for example, is necessary only for oily wastewater and, among timber products industries, is employed only in the pretreatment of wood preserving wastes. Adjustment of pH is required only if the pH value falls outside the range of 6.0 to 9.0.

The system was found to effectively concentrate organic contaminants into a concentrate of much smaller volume. The volume of wood preserving waste contaminated wastewater was reduced by over 80%. This means that only 20% of the volume of the feed water would require further treatmoit to immobilize or destroy the organic contaminants. 

The ability of the filtration unit to concentrate organic contamination from aqueous waste streams was demonstrated on a groundwater contaminated with wood preserving wastes (phenolics, PAHs, and PCP). The results from the demonstration, in conjunction with information supplied by the vendor, were used to assess the applicability of the technology for a variety of waste types and site conditions. 

Wood preserving waste contaminated aquifers represent a significant and widespread envirtaimoital problem. Results from this demonstratimi could be directly applicable to other wood preserving waste sites. 

The filtration system is a volume reduction technology, and as such minimizes the volume of wastewater that would require treatment. The technology was demonstrated as a method to reduce the volume of wood preserving waste contaminated groundwater. Therefore, treatment of the concentrate is not part of the demonstrated... 

Bioremediation is applicable to a wide range of organic contamination. SBP has focused on research, development and field implementation of biotechnology-based approaches to some of the more difficult hazardous waste constituents, in particular wood preserving wastes and solvent contamination. SBP has bioremediation solutions for ...
