Description:
The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program evaluates new and promising treatment technologies for cleanup of hazardous waste sites. The program was created to encourage the development and routine use of innovative treatment technologies. As a result, the SITE Program provides environmental decision makers with data on new, viable treatment technologies that may have performance or cost advantages compared to traditional treatment technologies. This document, prepared between July 1991 and October 1991, is intended as a reference guide for decision makers and others interested in technologies under the SITE Demonstration, Emerging Technology, and Monitoring and Measurement Technologies Programs. Reference tables for the SITE Program participants precede the individual profiles and contain EPA and developer contacts. Inquiries about a specific SITE technology or the SITE Program should be directed to the EPA Project Manager and inquiries on the technology process should be directed to the technology developer contacts. The technologies are described in two-page profiles, and are presented in alphabetical order by developer name. Each technology profile contains: (1) a technology developer and process name, (2) a technology description, (3) a schematic diagram or photograph of the process, (4) a discussion of waste applicability, (5) a project status report, and (6) EPA Project Manager and technology developer contacts. For projects that have been completed, the profiles also include a summary of results and reports if available. New features included in this document... • Table of Waste Applicability (page x) The following waste categories are included: arsenic, chlorinated organics, cyanide, dioxins, heavy metals, other halogenated organics, other inorganics, other metals, other organics, PAHs, PCBs, pesticides/herbicides, petroleum hydrocarbons, radioactive elements/metals, and volatile organics. • Monitoring and Measurement Technologies Program Section (page 263) This section contains 14 profiles of innovative technologies useful for site characterization or contaminant monitoring.
