PREFACE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the Superfund Innovative
Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program in 1986, following passage of the Superfund Amendments
and Reauthorization Act The SITE Program now in its seventh year, is an integral part of EPA's
research into alternative cleanup methods for remediation of hazardous waste sites around the
Nation. Under the SITE Program, EPA enters into cooperative agreements with technology
developers to refine their innovative technologies at bench- or pilot-scale and/or to demonstrate
them, with support from EPA, at hazardous waste sites. EPA collects and publishes engineering,
performance, and cost data to aid hi future decision making for hazardous waste site remediation.
The successful implementation of innovative technologies requires a team approach. SITE
Program staff work closely with EPA's regional offices, the states, technology developers, the SITE
Program's Superfund Technology Assistance Response Team, and the Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response to provide technology demonstrations and to disseminate information gathered.
The SITE Program also uses EPA Research facilities in Cincinnati, OH, and Jefferson, AR, to
evaluate innovative technologies.
The SITE Program's progress and accomplishments for Fiscal Year 1992 are presented in
this report. Included are an overview of the SITE Program; an examination of the SITE Program's
impact on the private sector and on Superfund Records of Decision for Region V; and documentation
of the growth, capabilities, and achievements of the SITE Program since last year's report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Superfund Innovative
Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program, innovative technologies are evaluated for the remediation
of contaminated Superfund SITES.
The SITE Program was created to meet the increased demand for alternative hazardous waste
treatment technologies and was the first major program for demonstrating and evaluating full-scale,
innovative treatment technologies at hazardous waste sites.
Since its inception (1986) through fiscal year 1992 (FY 92), the SITE Program has
successfully demonstrated 44 technologies, 15 of which were completed during the FY92. Since
1986, the SITE Program has gained increased recognition as a leader in advancing innovative
technology development and commercialization and is currently participating cooperatively with
more than 130 technology developers.
The primary mission of the SITE Program is to advance the development, implementation, and
commercialization of innovative treatment technologies for contaminated hazardous waste site
remediation. The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) directs EPA
"to carry out a program of research, evaluation, testing, development, and demonstration of
alternative or innovative treatment technologies...which may be utilized in response actions to
achieve more permanent protection of human health and welfare and the environment" [SARA
Section 209(b), CERCLA Section 311 (b)!].
The program strives to achieve this goal by addressing the needs of its clients, including the
states, EPA Regional Offices, and technology developers. To ensure the timely introduction of new
technologies into the marketplace, the program maintains flexibility to leverage resources. One way
in which this effort has been implemented is through increasing efforts to participate jointly with the
Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Defense (DOD). Improvements in program
effectiveness and efficiency have included enhanced technology transfer activities.
This report discusses the Program's progress and accomplishments over the past fiscal year,
outlines the Program's impact, and catalogues current projects being undertaken.

SITE PROGRAM OVERVIEW
EPA's SITE Program, now in its seventh
year, encourages the development and
implementation of (1) innovative treatment
technologies for remediating hazardous waste
sites and (2) monitoring and measurement
technologies for evaluating the nature and
extent of hazardous waste site contamination.
The SITE Program was established by
EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response (OS WER) andthe Office of Research
and Development (ORD) in response to the
1986 SARA, which recognized a need for an
"Alternative or Innovative Treatment
Technology Research and Demonstration
Program." The SITE Program, administered
by ORD's RREL, is headquartered in
Cincinnati, OH.
The SITE Program includes the following
components:
• Emerging Technology Program
• Demonstration Program
• Monitoring and Measurement Technol-
ogies Program
• Technology Transfer Program
In theEmergingTechnology Program, EPA
provides technicakand financial support to
developers for bench- and pilot-scale testing
and for evaluation of innovative technologies
that are, at a minimum, proven on the
conceptual andbench-scale level. Theprogram
establishes the applicability of particular
technologies to|Superfund site waste
characteristics aid supports promising
technologies that may, after further
development, be evaluated in the' SITE
Demonstration Program. Each technology's
performance is documented in a final report
and/or a peer reviewed journal article, project
summary, and bulletin.
In the Demonstration Program, a
technology is field-tested on hazardous waste.
Engineering and cost data are gathered on the
innovative technology so that potential users
can assess the technology's applicability for a
particular site cleanup. Data collected during
the field demonstration are used to assess the
performance of the technology, the potential
need for pre- and post-proces sing of the waste,
applicable types of wastes and waste matrices,
potential operating problems, and approximate
capital and operating costs. At the conclusion
of each SITE demonstration, EPA prepares an
Applications Analysis Report (AAR) to
evaluate all available information on the
, technology and analyze its overall applicability
to other site's characteristics, waste types, and
matrices. The AAR includes cost data and
analysis. A second report, the Technology
Evaluation Report (TER), presents
demonstration data such as testing procedures,
performance, and quality assurance/quality
control standards.
The purpose of the Monitoring and
Measurement Technologies Program is to
accelerate the development, demonstration,
and use of innovative monitoring,
measurement, and characterization
technologies at Superfund sites. These
technologies are used to assess the nature and
extent of contamination and to evaluate the
progress and effectiveness of remedial actions.
High priority is placed on technologies that
-------
pro videcost-effective,faster,andsafer methods
than do the conventional technologies for
producing real-time or near-real-time data.
This Program is interested in new or
modified technologies that can detect, monitor,
and measure hazardous and toxic substances
in the subsurface (saturated and vadose zones),
air, biological tissues, wastes, and surface
waters, as well as technologies that characterize
the physical properties of sites. Technologies
of interest include chemical sensors for in situ
measurements, groundwater sampling devices,
soil and core sampling devices, soil gas
sampling devices, fluid sampling devices for
the vadose zone, laboratory and field-portable
analytical equipment, and expert systems that
support field sampling or data acquisition and
analysis.
In the Technology Transfer Program,
technical information on innovative
technologies in the Demonstration, Emerging
Technology, andMonitoring andMeasurement
Technologies Programs is disseminated
through various activities and reports.
Distribution of SITE Program reports, as well
as videotapes, bulletins, and project summaries,
is the responsibility of the SITE Technology
Transfer Program. This information is
disseminated to (1) provide reliable technical
data for environmental decision-making and
(2) promote the technology's commercial use.
These activities increase awareness and
promote the use of innovative technologies for
assessment andremediation at Superfund sites.
The goal of technology transfer activities is to
promote communication among individuals
requiring up-to-date technical information.
-------
SITE PROGRAM IMPACT
Today the EPA, states, municipalities, and
the private sector find an increasing need for
new, cost-effective technologies to prevent,
control, and destroy pollution. The
environmental community is continually
searchingforsafetechnologiesthatworkbetter,
faster, and more cost effectively.
The SITE Program is a key element in
EPA's efforts to increase the use of innovative
technologies to clean up hazardous waste sites.
The features of SITE include:
• Saving costs significantly when
compared with conventional tech-
nologies,
• Increasing communication and
technology transfer,
• Transferring high-quality technology-
specific data, and
• Encouraging commercial use of
innovative technologies.
SITE has made considerable progress
toward stimulating the use of innovative
technologies for remediating hazardous waste
sites. Innovative technology usage has
increased by nearly 60% since the inception of
the SITE Program in 1986 (Figure 1). During
the period 1982 through 1991, EPA signed a
total of 945 record of decisions (RODs) for
563 of the 1236 sites on the National Priorities
List(NPL).
Significant increases in the numbers of
innovative technologies selected for remedial
action began with the passage of SARA in
1986. Increases in the use of innovative
technology became more dramatic in 1988,
the second year after implementation of the
SITEProgram,andbyl991,OSWERreported
that innovative treatment technologies
accounted for more than half the treatment
remedies selected for soils and sludges.
While SITE was only one contributing
factor to increasing innovative technology
selection, regional SITE programs played a
significant role. SITE demonstrated projects
already has contributed to significant cost
savings. A review of Region V RODs from
1987 to 1990 quantified a total cost savings of
over $ 138 million; by implementing innovative
technologies at five sites under the SITE
Program, costs were reduced 68% from what
they would have been with the use of
established technologies (Figure 2).
One of the principal goals of the SITE
Program is technology transfer, which SITE
promotes through encouraging commercial-
ization of these innovative technologies.
Assistance is provided through supplying
purchasers of innovative remediation
technologies with high quality, unbiased
performance and cost information. The
question is simple: What value does a private
developer/vendor place on SITE Program
services? By participating in the SITE Program
the developer/vendor sends a clear message
that the expected benefits from participation
will exceed the demonstration costs. Expenses
incurred by participants were measured, and
the minimum value of the services rendered
was estimated. The SITE Program's estimate
of vendor costs was based on analysis of 11
completed demonstrations. This analysis
suggests that developers who conducted
technology demonstrations have sustained
direct costs ranging from a low of $23,000 to

ahigh of over $700,000. Estimates at the lower
end tend to reflect demonstrations where firms
have been able to combine an ongoing
remediation activity with a small-scale
demonstration. Upper limitestimates represent
intensive demonstrations on thermal
destruction units that handle high hazard
contaminants. Overall, the average direct
expenditure by firms in the SITE Program is
estimated to be over $260,000 per
demonstration.
Increasing acceptance of innovative
technologies is demonstrated by the level of
commercial activity reported by SITE vendors
(Figure 3); increased market opportunities;
positive effect on commercial activities; SITE
vendors more often selected for remediations;
and enhancement of marketing efforts of SITE
vendor technologies. SITE technology vendors
who had completed demonstrations reported a
55% increase in total remediation activities
awarded between December 1990 and October
1991. An additional 77 % increase was reported

months later (Figure 4).
In addition, SITE provides buyers of
remediation technologies high quality,
unbiased reports and information on the
performance and cost of demonstration
technologies in support of their cleanup
decisions. In a recent survey of Region V
Project Managers, 85% of the remediation
decision makers selected the same types of
innovative treatment technologies that were
tested under the SITE Program.
Overall the effectiveness of the Program
can be measured by the application of remedial
technologies that are safe and work better or
are more cost effective than existing treatment
technologies. Several former SITE
demonstration technologies are now routinely
-------
used and are considered proven for limited
applications: soil vapor extraction, advanced
oxidation, solidification/stabilization, andlow
temperature thermal desorption technologies.
These technologies are now generally
considered available for commercial
application.
-------
PROGRESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
PROGRAM
The Emerging Technology Program
encourages bench- and pilot-scale research
and development of innovative treatment
technologies. Its goal is to promote the
development of permanent, cost effective,
alternative hazardous waste treatment
technologies for field demonstration and
ultimately for commercialization and
Superfund site remediation.
To date, this Program has provided
technical and financial support for 53 projects.
Over 500 requests for the sixth (1992)
solicitation were received, and 77 Preproposals
were submitted in September 1992 for review.
Selection occurs hi the year following the
solicitation; and from the 1991 solicitation, 9
cooperative agreements were awarded in FY
92 (Table 1). The 53 funded projects can be
divided into the following categories:
biological degradation, ,(13); chemical
treatment, (15); materials handling, (4);
physical treatment, (11); solidification/
stabilization, (2); and thermal destruction, (8).
Several technologies that use the treatment
train approach or involve dual treatment
methods to facilitate cleanup can fall into more
than one of these categories. A visual
representation of projects in each category is
shown in Figure 5. Several technologies have
the capability to treat more than one medium
—soil, sludge, liquid or air. Figure 6 illustrates
the media that can be treated by the various
technologies in the Emerging Technology
Program. Research on 13 projects was
completed during FY 92 (Table II).
Because both the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) and the U. S. Air Force (US AF)
want to accelerate the development of
innovative technologies, they have cofunded
projects in the SITE Program thathavepotential
to meet needs for cleanup of hazardous waste
sites. All Emerging Technology Program
projects are presented in Appendix A.
DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM
The SITE Demonstration Program
assesses promising innovative technologies
onsite and provides reliable performance, cost,
and applicability information for making
cleanup decisions. Demonstrations are
conducted at hazardous waste sites, such as
NPL sites, and at iion-NPL sites, or under
conditions that simulate actual hazardous
wastes and site conditions.
Since 1987, technologies generally have
entered the program through an annual Request
For Proposals (RFP). To date, seven
solicitations have been completed. The number
of SITE Program participants continues to
grow. Superfund's changing needs have
required a flexibility of the SITE Program that
has attracted new technology developers.
Participants may now enter the Demonstration
Program through SITE support of remedial
activities where the focus is on implementation
of innovative technologies. Participants also
enter through advancementfrom the Emerging
Technology Program and from other EPA
technology development projects. Sources of
projects for SITE demonstrations are illustrated
in Figure 7.
The SITE Demonstration process typically
consists of five steps: (1) matching an
innovative technology with an appropriate site;
(2) preparing a Demonstration Plan including
the testplan, sampling and analysis plan, quality

TECHNOLOGY
The Cognis TcnaMet™ soil remediation system leaches and recovers metals, specifically lead, from
contaminated soil, dust, sludge, or sediment. Treatability tests, based on the soil and contaminant, are required
to optimize the proprietary aqueous leachant. Most types of lead contamination, including metallic lead,
soluble ions, and insoluble lead oxides and salts can be treated with this system.
Cognis Metal Extraction/Bioremediation is a two-stage process to treat contaminated soils, sediments, and other
media containing both metals and organics. Metals are first leached from the soil, followed by bioremediation
of the organics. Final treatment products consist of a recovered metal or metal salt, biodegraded organic
compounds, and clean soil.
The Campbell Centrifugal Jig (CJJ) technology separates very fine heavy metal panicles from waste material.
Two widely used methods of heavy particle separation, jigging and centrifuging, are combined in this process.
The continuous flow and pulsating bed of a standard jig is combined with the high acceleration forces of a
centrifuge to segregate and concentrate particles from 150 microns to as small as 1 micron if their specific
gravities are at least 20 percent higher than that of waste. No additional chemicals are required.
This Reductive Photo-Dechlorination (RPD) technology uses reducing atmosphere and UV light to remove
chlorine atoms from organo-chlorine wastes at low to moderate temperatures. Saleable hydrocarbons and
hydrogen chloride are produced. Process reactions occur in the photo-thermal treatment chamber.
In situ bioremediation using oxygen microbubbles is designed to remediate contaminated groundwater in the
saturated zone. The technology can be used with oxygen, propylene, nutrients and/or microorganisms to treat
different matrices in a variety of situations.
The Photothermal Detoxification Unit (PDU) is a high-temperature photothermal technology designed for use as
a secondary treatment process to decompose organic compounds in a gaseous stream to innocuous products by
high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The process is clean and efficient and operates with the speed and
general applicability of a combustion procedure.
The Simultaneous Destruction of Organics with Metals Stabilization (SULCHEM) technology destroys organics
and stabilizes metals and metal ions in soils. This sulfur-based process is carried out in an oxygen-free
environment to form an insoluble, inert carbon-sulfur polymer and condensable liquids and gases from organic
wastes. Heavy metals are also immobilized within the matrix. This technology is designed to remediate soils,
sludges, and sediments containing organics, halogenated organics, and metals.
ReTec's biological treatment technology uses methanotrophic organisms in fixed:film biological reactors to treat
chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The enclosed biofiltration system degrades chlorinated VOCs
in the gaseous state such as those produced from air stripping or in situ vacuum extraction operations.
A TiOj photocatalytic air treatment technology is being developed to remove and destroy VOCs and
semivolatile organic compounds in air. No residual material requiring further treatment or disposal is
generated. The technology is an ambient temperature solid state process in which contaminated air flows
through a fixed TiO2 catalyst bed activated by ultraviolet-A light. The technology can effectively treat dry or
moist air.

the demonstration, andremove the equipment
from the site. EPA is responsible for project
planning, sampling and analysis, quality
assurance and quality control, preparing
reports, and disseminating information.
Demonstration data are used to assess the
technology's performance; the potential need
for pre- and post-processing of the waste;
applicable types of wastes andmedia; potential
operating problems; and the approximate
capital and operating costs. Demonstration
data can also provide insight into long-term
operating and maintenance costs and long-

The number of field evaluations is increasing
each year. With technologies entering the
program from public/private partnership
involving other federal agencies and
mechanisms other than the yearly solicitation,
increasing numbers of field demonstrations
are expected.

TECHNOLOGIES OF INTEREST TO
THE SITE PROGRAM
The SITE Emerging Technology Program
is primarily interested in technologies that can
handle complex mixtures of hazardous organic
and inorganic contaminants (including
radioactive wastes) or that provide improved
solids handling and/or pretreatment. These
treatment technologies include: (1) in-situ
treatment processes; (2) combinations of unit
operations to create treatment trains; (3)
materials handling techniques that improve
pre- and post-treatment operations; (4)
treatment of mixed low-level radioactive and
organic waste in soils and groundwater; (5)
treatment of solids (including soils, sludge,
-and sediments) containing organic and/or
inorganic constituents, heavy metals, or
radioactive contaminants; (6) biological
technologies for soils and sludges capable of
treating organic, inorganic, and/or radioactive
^contamination; and (7) low cost methods to
treat large volumes of hazardous-waste-
contaminated soil having relatively low
contaminant concentration levels.
The SITE Demonstration Program is
primarily interested in such technologies as:
(1) a combination of unit operations that create
a treatment sequence for specific wastes and
waste site conditions; (2) treatment of mixed,
low-level radioactive waste in soil and
groundwater; (3) source control technologies
for soil and sludge that can treat organic and
r
11
-------
inorganic contaminants; (4) in-situ
groundwater treatment technologies; and (5)
in-situ and onsite treatmentprocesses for large
volumes of soil and sediment with relatively
low contaminant concentration levels,
especially bioremediation technologies.
Of particular interest to the SITE Program
are technologies dealing with specific types of
wastesitesincludingbattery; coal gasification;
metals mixed with organics; pesticides and/or
insecticides; wood treatment; and petroleum.
Treatment methods for the cleanup of urban
lead sites where soil and debris are
contaminated with leaded paint or leaded gas
emissions are also of high priority to the SITE
Program.
Site specific opportunities are offered by
the Demonstration Program in an effort to
identify potentially applicable innovative
technologies for real situations where EPA is
seeking remediation solutions.
Biological Technologies
Biological treatment is a detoxification
mechanism for the breakdown of organic
compounds by biological agents. Both the
Demonstration and Emerging Programs
expressed interest in above-ground, reactor,
andin situ bioremediation technologies through
the annual RFP solicitations. Research and
development of biological treatment has
expanded greatly since the SITE Program's
inception. An increasing number of biological
proposals havebeen submittedeach year. Three
biological SITE demonstrations have been
completed.
Use of bioremediation is also being
encouraged and stimulated through EPA's
Bioremediation Field Initiative, which was
established to provide timely information
regardingnew developments hi the application
of bioremediation at hazardous waste sites.
Biological treatment technologies
currently in the SITE Program include
composting, in-situ and above-ground
treatment methods, aerobic and anaerobic
methods, biological sorption of metals,
bacterial oxidation of chloro-aliphatics,
wetland-based treatment for mineral mine
drainage, biological scrubber for hazardous
organic emissions, aerobic f ixed-film reactor,
combined chemical and biological treatment,
land treatment, and bioventing.
Physical/Chemical Technologies
Chemical treatment involves reactions of
pollutants with reagents that result in less toxic
or less mobile products. Chemical oxidation,
reduction, dechlorination, and polymerization
are the major chemical treatment methods
being developed and tested in the SITE
Program. Physical processes recover materials
from waste streamsfor reuse, volume reduction,
or treatment. Physical technologies in the SITE
Program include ultrafiltration techniques,
electrokinetics, steam distillation, UV
photolysis, X-ray treatment, cross flow
pervaporation, and membrane technologies as
well as thermal desorption technologies.
Physical/chemical technologies are the largest
group in both the Emerging and Demonstration
Programs.
The SITE Program includes low-
temperature thermal desorption technologies
in the physical/chemical category. This
desorption technology is a physical process
where heat is used to vaporize volatile and
semivolatile organic compounds in soils and
sludges. The contaminants are desorbed and
recovered for reuse or further treatment. Six
thermal desorption technologies are included
in the 27 physical/chemical technologies
demonstrated in the SITE Program; and this
technology, now available commercially, has
been selected as a remedy for Superfund site
remediation.

Materials Handling Technologies
Most Superfund sites contain different
types of materials that require physical
separation, classification, and decon-
tamination. These materials may be
contaminated with hazardous chemical
residues. Materials handling and classifying
technologies are needed to handle large
quantities of various materials before, or in
conjunction with, decontamination and site
restoration. Materials handling procedures are
required for debris and other material found
onsite. Four materials handling technologies
are in the SITEEmergingTechnology Program,
but there are no SITE demonstrations of
materials handling procedures.
Solidification/Stabilization Technologies
Solidification/Stabilization (S/S) tech-
nologies are designed to improve waste
handling and physical characteristics by
producing a solidified or non-leaching mass.
Reducedcontaminant solubility and decreased
exposed surface area of the treated mass are
requiredfor successful treatment. Stabilization
processes reduce the hazard by converting the
contaminants to a less-soluble, mobile or toxic
form. Although six S/S technologies have been
demonstrated, few new projects have been
selected for the Emerging or Demonstration
Programs.
Thermal Technologies
Many thermal destruction technologies that
expose various forms of hazardous wastes and
contaminated materials to high temperature in
a controlled environment to break them down
through either combustion or pyrolysis are
commercially available for destruction and/or
immobilization of hazardous waste. Seven
thermal technologies have been demonstrated
under the SITE Program.
MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT
TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM
The SITE Monitoring and Measurement
Technologies Program explores new and
innovative technologiesforassessingthe nature
and extent of contamination and evaluating
achievement of cleanup levels at Superfund
sites. Effective measurement and monitoring
technologies are needed to accurately assess
the degree of contamination at a site; to provide
data and information to determine the effects
onpublic health and the environment; to supply
data to help select the most appropriate remedial
action; and to monitor the success or failure of
a selected remedy. The objectives of this SITE
Program are:
• to identify existing technologies that can
enhance field monitoring and site
characterization;
• to supportthedevelopmentof monitoring
capabilities that current technologies
cannot address in a cost-effective manner;
• to demonstrate technologies that emerge
from the screening and developmental
phases of the program; and
« to prepare protocols, guidelines, and
standard operating procedures for new
methods.
The goal of the SITE Monitoring and
Measurement Program is to accelerate the
recognition and use of those technologies that
have the potential to provide more cost-
effective, better, faster, or safer means to detect
and monitor contaminants and the geophysical
characteristics of Superfund sites. Candidate
technologies may come from within the federal
governmentorfrommeprivate sector. Through
the program, developers are provided the
opportunity for rigorous evaluation of their
technology' s performance. By distributing the
results andrecomrnendations of that evaluation,
the market for the technology is enhanced.
This Program is administered by ORD's
Environmental Monitoring Systems
Laboratory in Las Vegas, NV (EMSL-LV).
To the best of our knowledge, this is the
only program that exists at the federal, state, or
private levelfordemonstratingtheperformance
19
-------
of monitoring, measurement, and site
characterization technologies under field
conditions; reporting on the performance; and
communicating the results to the user
community. These technologies are also listed
in Appendix A.
FY1992 Monitoring and Measurement
Technology Demonstration Activities
Table V lists the demonstrations completed
during FY 92. Twelve developers demon-
strated 13 technologies at 4 sites. One
demonstration evaluated four polychlorinated
biphenyl (PCB) field screening technologies.
This demonstration looked at accuracy (how
close to the actual concentration, as determined
by laboratory analysis, each could measure)
and at the specificity of each screening kit to
different PCB Aroclors. DOE's Abandoned
Indian Creek Outfall site at DOE's Kansas
City Plant was the demonstration §ite because
it had soils with a wide range of PCB
contamination. The four kits were: (1) DexsiT s
Clor-N-SoilTestKit,(2)Dexsil'sL2000PCB/
Chloride Analyzer, (3) Millipore'sEnviroGard
PCB Test, and (4) the FASP PCB Method by
Ecology and Environmental, Inc.; all were
demonstrated in August 1992.
Five portable gas chromatographs (GCs)
were demonstrated in Texas at the French
Limited hazardous waste site in January 1992.
The five GCs were: (1) the HNU GC 311
portable GC developed by HNU Systems,
Inc.; (2) theMSI-301 Atemperature-controlled
vapor monitor developed by Microsensor
Systems, Inc.; (3) the Photovac 10S PLUS
portable GC developed by Photovac
International, Inc.; (4) the Scentographportable
GCdevelopedbySentexSensingTechnology,
Inc.; and (5) the SRI 8610 GC developed by
SRI Instruments.
During the same demonstration at the
French Limited site, two air sampling
technologies were demonstrated: theXontech,
Inc.'sSectorSamplerandmeMDAScientific,
Inc.'s long-path Fourier transform infrared
spectrometer (FTIR). The Sector Sampler
collects time-integrated whole air samples in
canisters, and the FTIRmeasures the absorption
of light energy along apath from the instrument
to a reflector and back.
During FY 92, two additional dem-
onstrations were done. The Equate
Immunoassay kit for PCBs, developed by
Binax Corp., was demonstrated in Las Vegas
Valley, NV, and Analytical and Remedial
Technology, Inc.'s Automated Volatile
Organic Analytical System was demonstrated
in Woburn, MA.
Support of Emerging Monitoring and
Measurement Technologies
In addition to the technologies
demonstrated under this Program, the
development of emerging technologies has
been supported, in part, with the Program's
resources. Included in this category are
immunoassay development, the development
of a field-tested methodology for monitoring
the spatial and temporal behavior of subsurface
volatile organic compounds, and FTIR
development. The support of emerging
technologies is essential for ensuring that a
steady stream of technologies is ready for
demonstration and made available to EPA and
other potential users. The Agency will directly
benefit from having a variety of alternative
fieldscreeningmethods, and the environmental
technology market is also enhanced.
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
ACTIVITIES
In the Technology Transfer Program,
technical information on innovative
technologies in the Demonstration, Emerging
Technology, and Measuring and Monitoring
Technologies Programs is disseminated
through various activities. These activities
increase awareness and promote the
commercial use of innovative technologies for
assessment andremediation at Superfund sites.
