Description:
The J.R. Simplot Ex-Situ Bioremediation Technology is designed to anaerobically degrade nitroaromatic and energetic compounds in soils and liquids without forming identifiable toxic intermediate compounds produced by other biotreatment methods. This technology was evaluated under the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program on soils contaminated with 2-seo-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol (dinoseb), a RCRA-listed herbicide (P020). The Demonstration was at a county-owned airport in Ellensburg, WA (Bowers Field). A companion SITE Demonstration of this technology was performed on 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). Another SITE Technology Capsule will be provided at a later date. The Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BOAT) for dinoseb-contaminated soils is incineration, therefore, any alternative technology that can economically compete with incineration is of interest.
