Description:
The purpose of the seminar was to bring researchers, technology developers, and industry representatives together to discuss recovery technologies and techniques for VOCs. The seminar focused on the specific VOC recovery needs of industry and on case studies that summarize effective VOC product recovery techniques applicable to air, water, and solid waste. The case studies highlighted examples in which existing and new recovery technologies resulted in significant cost savings to industry.
The seminar focused on the following key issues:
. Status and future direction of EPA< DOE, and other major research programs.
. What are the latest technology innovations in VOC treatment and recovery?
. Performance and cost effectiveness of VOC recovery techniques.
. How are recovery techniques applied to air, water, and solid waste?
Presenters were from industry, academia, EPA, and various consulting firms. The presentations were followed by several facilitated breakout sessions; these sessions allowed participants an opportunity to discuss their needs and opinions on VOC recovery trends, research, and other issues.
