Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment Source Zone Treatment Web Site

The AFCEE Source Zone Treatment technology roadmap is intended to assist Air Force environmental managers in identifying and applying more effective methods for remediating and managing sites with contamination source zones. The web site offers a background on source zone remediation, the relevant issues, 'how-to' tools and knowledge, resources, links, and timely state-of-the-art technology reviews.

Effects of Thermal Treatments on the Chemical Reactivity of Trichloroethylene
J. Costanza, J. Mulholland, and K. Pennell.
EPA 600-R07-091, 117 pp, 2007

During experiments conducted to investigate abiotic degradation and reaction product formation of TCE when heated, the amounts of TCE degraded were very small at 120°C (0.01%) and 240°C (6.5%); however, a temperature of 420°C converted as much as 20% of the TCE to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

In Situ Thermal Treatment Conference
June 7, 2000

Thermal energy can be applied to enhance the effectiveness of technologies such as soil vapor extraction and, as a stand-alone technology, can be used to address semi-volatile and non-volatile contaminants not readily amenable to vapor extraction. Recent in situ thermal treatment developments offer the potential for improving effectiveness while reducing the costs of remedial actions. Conference presentations provide practitioners and decision-makers with essential and up-to-date information on this promising remedial approach. The conference included presentations on the principal methods presently employed to heat the subsurface to recover or destroy contaminants, fundamental operating principles, design considerations and limitations, and case studies. Although case studies involve particular technologies and vendors, the purpose is to increase the basic understanding of the capabilities of these innovative approaches to remediation.

Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), Twelfth Edition
EPA 542-R-07-012, 2007


The Twelfth Edition of this report, published by the EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) in September 2007, documents treatment technology applications at more than 1,900 soil and groundwater cleanup projects at National Priorities List (NPL) sites. The status of more than 1,200 projects included in the ASR Eleventh Edition is updated, and information about 192 new projects derived from Records of Decision (ROD) signed from 2002 through 2005 is added. The report also includes a special section about on-site containment remedies. The ASR is based on the analysis of nearly 3,000 RODs signed since 1982 at 1,536 NPL sites. The online version includes new downloadable spreadsheets with the data for several of the key tables and figures in the report. Specific information about each technology application included in the ASR Twelfth Edition is available in the ASR Remediation Database.
