Description:
Under the Superfund Innovation TechnologyEvaluation (SITE) Program, a technology developed by AWD Technologies, Inc. was demonstrated in September 1990. This paper presents the major results of the SITE demonstration of AWD Technologies" AquaDetox/SVE Treatment system designed for simultaneous on-site treatment of contaminated groundwater and soil-gas. The groundwater and soil of the demonstration site were contaminated with trihloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The AWD technology was evaluated on the basis of the removal efficiencies of TYCE and PCE from the contaminated groundwater and soil-gas. The conclusions drawn from these evaluations are: (1) the sytem achieved removal efficiencies as high as 99.99 percent for groundwater and 99.9 percent for soil-gas; (2) the effluent goundwater was in compliance with the regulatory discharge requirements of 5 ug/L. each for TCE and PCE for all test runs; (3) the demonstrated 1,000 gpm system has an estimated capital cost of $4.3 million and annual operating and maintenance cost of approximately $820,000.
