HOUGH, B., T. LI, AND M. A. SIMON. NOVOCS TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION REPORT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/540/R-00/502A (NTIS PB2001-101444), 2000.
Description:
An evaluation of the MACTEC Inc., NoVOCs(TM) technology ws conducted under the SITE Program, in partnership with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command SW Division, the Navy Environmental Leadership Program, the EPA Technology Innovation Office and Clean Sites, Inc. Specifically, the NoVOCs(TM) echnology performance in treating groundwater contaminated with VOCs at Naval Air Station North Island, Installation Restoration Site 9 was evaluated. The results of the evaluation, including information on the performance and cost of the technology, are presented in this report. Because of operational difficulties encountered during the demonstration, a complete evaluation of the performance and cost characteristics of the NoVOCs(TM) technology's ability to treat VOC-contaminated groundwater could not be conducted. However, valuable information was collected regarding the operation and maintenance of the NoVOCs(TM) technology and site-specific factors that may influence the performance and cost of the system. This information may be useful to decision-makers when carrying out specific remedial actions using this technology or conducting further technology performance evaluations. Data from the SITE evaluation may require extrapolation for estimating the operating ranges in which the technology will perform satisfactorily. Only limited conclusions can be drawn from the field evaluation documents in this TER.
