Impact/Purpose:
The objective of this program is to promote the acceptance and use of innovative field technologies by providing well-documented performance and cost data obtained from field demonstrations.
Description:
The demonstration of innovative field measurement devices for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil is being conducted under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation Program in June 2000 at the Navy Base Ventura County site in Port Hueneme, California. The primary purpose of the demonstration is to evaluate innovative field measurement devices for TPH in soil based on their performance and cost as compared to a conventional, off-site laboratory analytical method. The seven field measurement devices listed below will be demonstrated.
CHEMetrics, Inc.'s, RemediAidTm Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Starter Kit
Wilks Enterprise, Inc.'s, Infracal' TOG/TPH Analyzer, Models CVH and HATR-T
Horiba Instruments, Incorporated's, OCMA-350 Oil Content Analyzer
Dexsil' Corporation's PetroFLAGTm Hydrocarbon Test Kit for Soil
Environmental Systems Corporation's Synchronous Scanning Luminoscope
siteLAB@ Corporation's Analytical Test Kit UVF-3 I OOA
Strategic Diagnostics, Inc.'s, EnSys Petro Test System
This demonstration plan describes the procedures that will be used to verify the performance and cost of each field measurement device. The plan incorporates the quality assurance and quality control elements needed to generate data of sufficient quality to document each device's performance and cost. A separate innovative technology verification report (ITVR) will be prepared for each device. The ITVRs will present the demonstration findings associated with the demonstration objectives.
