Project Title:
Use of Innovative Treatment Technologies to Address Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids at Superfund Sites
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation, Technology Innovation Program
Project Overview:
Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPL), particularly those that contain chlorinated hydrocarbons, continue to be a challenge to remediate at contaminated sites. Numerous cleanup approaches have been demonstrated, such as in situ thermal, chemical, and biological methods. Recently, these technologies have been refined and have been used successfully at some sites, including Superfund sites. For this project, the fellow will perform research on available innovative approaches for treating DNAPL contamination at sites. The fellow will review current treatment methods and case studies of Superfund sites where the methods have been applied. Sources of information will include published literature and Web sites, as well as practitioners, such as remedial project managers, technology vendors, and consulting engineers.
Project Goals:
When this project is complete, the fellow will have learned valuable information on the state-of-the-practice for remediating DNAPLs. The fellow will become proficient in scientific and engineering principles associated with contaminated site cleanup, as well as the general challenges and process of cleaning up contaminated sites.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will prepare a paper on available innovative approaches for treating DNAPL contamination at sites. The paper will include a summary of current treatment methods and detailed case studies of Superfund sites where the methods have been applied. The paper can be used to support academic requirements for a master's degree or doctoral thesis. In addition, the fellow will prepare a presentation for office staff on the findings of the report.
