A Letter to Technology Vendors
One of this country's greatest challenges is cleaning up its many petroleum/hazardous
waste sites. The nature and extent of contamination varies widely at these sites, and it is
becoming increasingly clear that acceptable and cost-effective remedies will require the
expedited development of new treatment technologies. EPA established the Technology
Innovation Office (TIO) within the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response to
promote greater development and use of these new remediation methods.
A serious obstacle to technology development and use is the lack of readily available
and current technology information. To address this problem, TIO has developed an
automated database - the Vendor Information System for Innovative Treatment (VISITT) - for
use by state, federal, and private sector professionals responsible for cleanup of petroleum/
hazardous waste sites. VISITT Version 2.0, which we made available this June, contains
detailed information on the availability, performance, and cost of 231 innovative
technologies offered by 141 vendors. The database is available free of charge to the public,
and there are currently almost 8,000 registered users. In addition, we announced its
availability to over 15,000 people who have expressed an interest in remediation
technologies.
Although we've made a good start, we know that previous versions of VISITT did not
include some of the companies in this growing industry. This booklet describes the types
of technologies that we are including in the database. If you offer one of these technologies,
I encourage you to complete the Vendor Information Form in Appendix D, and submit it by
the November 1, 1993 deadline. Submittals received by that date will be considered for
inclusion in the third release of VISITT in 1994.
EPA believes that VISITT offers an unprecedented opportunity for developers and
vendors of innovative treatment technologies to showcase their capabilities and to improve
communication among technology developers, users, and the investment community. To
fully appreciate the advantages of participating in VISITT, you must see it for yourself.
IBM-compatible diskettes and a user manual are available free of charge. To order VISITT
diskettes and user manual, and to become a registered user, fill out the order and
registration form in Appendix F and mail or fax it to:
U.S. EPA/NCEPI
P.O. Box 42419
Cincinnati, OH 45242-0419
Fax number: 513-891-6685
Submittal of the information requested in this form is completely optional. We do,
however, urge all vendors who offer (or are developing) relevant innovative treatment
technologies to respond. With your help, we expect that this cooperative EPA/industry
effort will play a significant role in making new technologies available to remediate our
nation's petroleum/hazardous waste sites.

GENERAL INFORMATION
I. Synopsis
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently developed an
automated database, the Vendor Information System for Innovative Treatment
Technologies (VISITT), for use by state, federal, and private sector professionals
responsible for cleanup of the nation's petroleum/hazardous waste sites. VISITT
Version 2.0, which was made available in June 1993, contains 231 innovative
technologies offered by 141 vendors. IBM-compatible diskettes and a user manual
are available free of charge. To order VISITT diskettes and user manual, and to
become a registered user, fill out the order and registration form in Appendix E and
mail or fax it to:
U.S. EPA/NCEPI
P.O. Box 42419
Cincinnati, OH 45242-0419
Fax number: 513-891-6685
VISITT contains information on innovative treatment technologies, those for which
a lack of cost and performance data inhibit their routine use to cleanup petroleum/
hazardous waste sites. Exhibit 1 gives a partial list of innovative technologies eligible
for inclusion in VISITT. The database is designed to serve as a tool to screen these

technologies for remediation of contaminated petroleum/hazardous waste sites, and
to direct users to more complete information. The investment community may also
use this database to identify potential investment opportunities.
The Technology Innovation Office (TIO) of the Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response (OSWER) is conducting this Third Invitation for Submittah for
developers and providers of innovative treatment technologies. The information
submitted by applicants on the Vendor Information Form (VIF) (Appendix D and
enclosed diskette) will be considered for inclusion in the third version of the
database.
EPA believes that VISITT offers an unprecedented opportunity for developers and
purveyors of innovative treatment technologies to showcase their capabilities.
Innovative technologies are undergoing rapid change, which makes it difficult to
maintain current information on their developmental status and commercial
availability. This database should play an important role in the efficient expansion
of this industry by tracking this changing market and improving communication
between technology developers and users.
One of EPA's highest priorities is the generation of new methods to treat
contaminated soil, sludge, solids, sediments, and solid-matrix waste and to treat
ground water or nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPL) in situ. VISITT applies to only
innovative treatment technologies that address these media/wastes. EPA will not
accept information on the more widely available technologies: incineration,
solidification/stabilization, and above-ground groundwater treatment. Technologies
must address remediation of contaminated sites, not industrial wastes generated on
an ongoing basis. Nor does this database currently address innovative measurement,
monitoring, or containment technologies.
The purpose of VISITT is to facilitate the increased use, both domestically and
abroad, of innovative treatment technologies available in the U.S. Firms that
respond may be located either inside or outside the United States; however, non-U.S.
firms should intend to operate commercially within the U.S.
Technologies of interest include those at any stage of development, from bench to
pilot to full scale. However, EPA desires information only on those technologies that
respondents intend to commercialize, rather than those on which they are conducting
academic research only.
Information submitted by applicants on the VIF by November 1, 1993, will be
considered for inclusion in the third release of VISITT in 1994. After November 1,
EPA will review applications as time and resources permit. To remain in the
database, all vendors must verify or update submitted information during the update
cycle. Vendors now in VISITT 2.0 will receive copies of completed VIFs, as they
-------
now appear in the database, for review and updating. These vendors only need to
complete a new VIF if they wish to submit additional technologies for consideration.
II. Contents of This Booklet
This booklet contains three sections. General Information gives background to
VISITT and this Third Invitation for Submittals. Appendix A contains instructions for
completing the Vendor Information Form (VIF), definitions of terms used in the form,
and a key to contaminant groups. Appendix B contains information on business
classification that is useful for answering question 2e of the VIF. Appendix C
contains definitions used in VISITT. Appendix D contains contaminant group
information. Appendix E contains the blank VIF to be submitted. Appendix F
contains the VISITT registration and order form.
The VIF consists of six parts, which are listed in Exhibit 2. Part 1 must be completed
in order for the vendor to be included in VISITT. This part contains questions on
the name and location of the vendor and on the description, status, and application
of the technology. Part 2 is required for applicants with full-scale technologies; Part 3
EXHIBIT 2
CONTENTS OF VENDOR INFORMATION FORM
Part 1: General Information and Technology Overview
Part 2: Full-Scale Equipment/Capabilities
Part 3: Pilot-Scale Equipment/Capabilities
Part 4: Bench-Scale Treatability Study Capabilities
Part 5: Representative Applications, Client References, and Performance Data
Part 6: Literature and Technical References
is required for applicants with pilot-scale technologies. Parts 4 through 6 are
optional, and apply to technologies at any scale of development. Although the
completion of some information is optional, EPA encourages vendors to complete
as much of the questionnaire as possible. Lastly, this submittal package includes an
IBM-compatible computer diskette, which contains an automated version of the
blank VIF.
III. Why Is This Database Needed?
The impetus for VISITT is the Agency's need to increase the availability and use of
treatment technologies that can cost effectively clean up petroleum/hazardous waste
sites, and to promote the export of these technologies. The database provides a
service to vendors who are developing and applying new technology by creating a
-------
vehicle to make known the application and performance of their technologies to the
full range of users. VISITT now is used by thousands of professionals responsible for
the cleanup of Superfund sites, RCRA facilities, State sites, Federal facilities, and
leaking underground storage tank (UST) sites. The database allows users to screen
technologies for engineering feasibility studies, and to identify vendors who provide
treatability studies and cleanup services.
IV. Why Should You Participate?
VISITT is an excellent opportunity for vendors to promote their capabilities. The
system allows the vendor to provide substantial information on the applicability,
performance, and current use of their technologies. The database is publicly
available free-of-charge on computer diskette, and EPA is studying online access.
We reach cleanup personnel and investors throughout the U.S. and abroad by widely
advertising VISITT in trade journals, at conferences, and through direct mailings to
an extensive list of potential users. Currently there are almost 8,000 registered users
of VISITT including over 500 users from 52 other countries.
V. What Innovative Technologies Are Eligible for Inclusion?
EPA includes only certain innovative treatment technologies in VISITT. These are
technologies to treat the particular remedial problems identified earlier: treatment
of contaminated soil, sludge, sediments, and solid-matrix wastes; and treatment of
ground water or nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPL) in situ. Innovative treatment
technologies that treat off-gases generated from a primary treatment technology also
are included in VISITT. Exhibit 1 contains a partial list of eligible innovative
technologies. This list is based primarily on the technologies submitted to EPA for
the current version of VISITT. EPA will continue to expand this list to include
additional innovative technologies submitted.
Incineration, solidification/stabilization, and above-ground groundwater treatment
technologies will not be accepted. EPA recognizes that these technologies are vital
to the clean up of petroleum/hazardous waste sites, and that some innovative
approaches utilizing these technologies are being developed and used. However, the
Agency believes that, for the most part, information on these technologies is readily
available and that there is a greater need to disseminate information on technologies
for which there is far less information.
As noted earlier, this VISITT submittal also does not apply to technologies related
to (1) treatment of industrial wastes generated on an ongoing basis, (2) measurement,
(3) monitoring, or (4) containment.
-------
VI. Should Confidential Business Information (CBI) Be Submitted?
Confidential business information should not be submitted, because EPA plans to
make all submitted information available to the public. However, applicants may
write "available on a case-by-case basis" as their response to those questions for
which they have information, but would prefer not to make this information generally
available.
Applicants are encouraged to provide "sanitized" or masked information that will
allow users to review general information on a vendor's experience, without revealing
confidential information. For instance, in Part 5, which details project experience,
you may provide a generic industry name, such as "organic chemical manufacturer"
instead of the actual site name. A lack of information may discourage users from
considering the technology further.
VII. How Much Documentation is Required Regarding Performance and Other
Technology Claims?
VISITT is intended to be a showcase for technology vendors. To optimize the
usefulness of the data, EPA will review each submittal for clarity, completeness, and
adherence to instructions. It is in the applicant's best interest to fill out each part
of VIF as completely as possible since incomplete information may discourage users
from considering the technology further.
EPA reserves the right to clarify or question information submitted. The respondent
will be given the opportunity to review any substantive changes to the submittal that
the Agency wishes to make, with two exceptions: (1) EPA may list Superfund sites
or Federal facilities at which the vendor's technology has been used, and (2) EPA
may add publicly-available references of which EPA is aware.
The Agency will not review submitted data for accuracy or quality; to do so would
be too resource intensive and subjective, and would substantially delay dissemination.
VISITT clearly states that vendors have supplied the information, and that the data
have not been verified by the Agency. Applicants should expect that interested users
will request additional information regarding applicability and performance of a
particular treatment technology. The database contains the following disclaimer:
Inclusion in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Vendor
Information System for Innovative Treatment Technologies does not
mean that the Agency approves, recommends, licenses, certifies, or
authorizes the use of any of the technologies. Nor does the Agency
certify the accuracy of the data. This listing means only that the
vendor has provided information on a technology that EPA considers
to be eligible for inclusion in this database.
-------
VIII. EPA's Authority for Submittal and Burden Statement
EPA's authority for conducting this Third Invitation for Submittals is Section 311 of
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 9601 et
seq.). Under Section 311, EPA may collect and disseminate information related to
the use of innovative treatment technologies for remediation of hazardous waste
sites.
EPA estimates that the vendor reporting burden for this collection of information
will average 12 hours per response for completion of Part 1, and 28 hours for
completion of the entire form. These estimates include the time applicants will
require to review and maintain the data needed, and to complete and review the
VIF. Send comments regarding this burden estimate, or any other aspect of reducing
the burden, to Chief, Information Policy Branch, PM-223, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460; and to Paperwork
Reduction Project (OMB #2050-0114), Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C. 20503.
IX. When and Where to File
EPA will review Vendor Information Forms received by November 1, 1993, for
inclusion in the third release of VISITT in 1994. EPA will review responses received
after November 1 as time and resources permit.
Vendors already included in VISITT Version 2.0 will be contacted by EPA to verify
or update submitted information. VISITT participants may also submit further
technologies for consideration.

APPENDIX C
DEFINITIONS
-------
DEFINITIONS
EPA has developed the following technology definitions for the purpose of categorizing the
types of innovative remediation technologies that are currently contained in VISIT! 2.0.
The definitions are based on the descriptions of the technologies submitted by vendors, and
for inclusion in the VISITT system.
I. Technology Types
Acid Extraction - This technology is used to remove hazardous metals from excavated
soils and sludges through the application of an acidic solution. It is a liquid-solid
extraction technology that operates on the principle that the metals of concern will
be preferentially solubilized and thereby removed from the waste. Further treatment
of the metal-containing acid solution will be required.
Adsorption - In Situ - In this technology, containerized adsorptive materials (for
example, various organic polymers, activated carbon, and sponge material) are placed
directly in ground water to remove various hazardous compounds. This technology
also would include systems that drill wells and place adsorptive materials in the air
space above the ground water, in order to achieve reductions of relatively volatile
compounds. The use of this technology will depend to a large extent on site-specific
soil and ground water characteristics.
Air Sparging - In Situ Ground Water - This technology reduces concentrations of
hazardous compounds in ground water by injecting air below the water table. The
injected air creates air bubbles in the ground water. The air bubbles contact
dissolved/adsorbed-phase contaminants and nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPL) in the
aquifer, causing contaminants to volatilize. The volatilized contaminants are
transported by the air bubbles into the vadose zone. Removal of the contaminants
transferred to the vadose zone would be accomplished by another technology, usually
soil vapor extraction. The application and effectiveness of this technology will
depend to a large extent on site-specific soil and groundwater conditions.
Bioremediation (see below for definitions of specific types) - This technology uses
microorganisms to degrade organic contaminants. The microorganisms breakdown the
organic contaminants by using them as a food source. End products of the degradation
are typically CO2 and H2O. Nutrients such as phosphorous, nitrogen, or oxygen may be
added to enhance the biodegradation process. The VISITT database identifies six
subcategories of this technology, based on the type and media treated.
Bioremediation - In Situ Ground Water - The defining characteristic of this technology
is an injection system (typically injection wells) to circulate microorganisms, nutrients,
and oxygen through contaminated groundwater or saturated soils to biodegrade
contaminants. In most instances ground water is pumped, treated to some extent,
C-l
-------
and then reinjected with additives that enhance biodegradation. Common system
design consists of a central withdrawal of ground water and reinfiltration upgradient
of the treated area. Biodegradation relies on contact between microorganisms and
contaminants dissolved in the ground water or adsorbed to saturated soils.
Bioremediation - In Situ Lagoon - This technology is similar to Bioremediation -
Slurry Phase, but it is in situ. The target media may have a considerably higher
moisture content. It may be close to a slurry in consistency. The various microbes
and nutrients may be added by injection, sprayed on top of lagoon and mixed or
applied in another manner. In many situations the media may also be stirred or
aerated to promote bioremediation. Applications for this technology would include
petroleum/hazardous waste sites such as sludge lagoons.
Bioremediation - In Situ Soil - The target media for this technology are subsurface
soils in the vadose zone above the water table. In this technology, various microbes,
nutrients and/or an oxygen source are added, sometimes through injection wells, to
the soil to biodegrade contaminants. In general, subsurface soil moisture is required,
and soils must be relatively permeable. One method of in situ soil bioremediation
is bioventing, which is defined later.
Bioremediation - Not Otherwise Specified - The technologies listed in this category are
bioremediation technologies that did not specify one of the processes listed in the
other subcategories or were not described in enough detail to be included into one
of the other subcategories.
Bioremediation - Slurry Phase - This technology mixes excavated soil, sludge, or
sediment with water to form a slurry that is mechanically agitated in an environment
(usually a tank or reactor vessel, although in situ lagoon applications are possible)
with appropriate ambient conditions of nutrients, oxygen, pH, and temperature to
biodegrade contaminants. Upon completion of the process, the slurry is dewatered
and the treated material disposed.
Bioremediation - Solid Phase - In this system, excavated soils are placed in a tank,
building, or on a lined treatment bed. Nutrients and other additives are tilled into
the soil using conventional equipment to facilitate microbial growth. The tillage
equipment may provide aeration for the soil as well. Water is provided via a sprayer
or sprinkler system. The VISITT system includes composting and land farming or
treatment in this category.
Bioventing - This technology combines soil vapor extraction methods with
bioremediation. It involves a system of vapor extraction wells that induce air flow in
the subsurface through air injection or through the use of a vacuum. The increased
air flow increases the amount of oxygen available for microbial degradation. The
rate of air flow is typically less than it would be with soil vapor extraction alone. The
C-2
-------
air flow is reduced to enhance bioremediation of volatile compounds, while
decreasing their extraction. A nutrient solution may be injected with the air or
percolated into the soil to enhance biodegradation.
Chemical Treatment - Dechlorination - This category includes any chemical treatment
technology that results in the removal or replacement of chlorine atoms bonded to
hazardous compounds to produce less toxic compounds. Treatment typically takes
place in a tank or other reactor vessel.
Chemical Treatment - In Situ Ground Water - This technology treats ground water
and/or saturated soil in situ through chemical treatment technology. In this
technology chemicals may be injected into the ground water to convert hazardous
compounds to less hazardous compounds. This technology is different from
conventional pump and treat technologies in that the ground water and/or saturated
soil is treated in situ rather than pumped above ground, treated, and then reinjected.
Chemical Treatment - Other - Hazardous compounds are converted to less hazardous
or nonhazardous compounds through chemical reactions. The chemical reactions
may be induced through the addition of other compounds or through exposure of the
contaminant to light (photo-initiated reactions). Treatment technologies that fall
under this classification operate at moderate temperatures and pressure. Treatment
typically takes place in a tank or other reactor vessel.
Delivery/Extraction Systems - These technologies do not treat hazardous wastes
directly but facilitate the use of other waste treatment technologies. Such
technologies may provide a means of in situ treatment in cases in which such
treatment previously was not feasible. Such VISITT technologies include horizontal
wells and other in situ delivery systems. In cases in which the delivery and extraction
technology is integrally linked to the use of a particular treatment, the technology has
been placed in the same technology category as the technology to which it is linked.
Electrical Separation - The operating principle of this technology is the establishment
of an electric field that will allow positive and negative ions to migrate through the
contaminated material and thereby be removed. The effectiveness of this technology
will depend to a great extent on the electrolytic nature of the waste.
Magnetic Separation - This technology separates and concentrates contaminants or
particles based on their magnetic susceptibility. A magnetic field or energy gradient
is applied to a matrix or waste stream. The magnetic field or gradient deflects the
magnetically susceptible particles and thereby separates them from nonmagnetic
particles.
C-3
-------
Materials Handling/Physical Separation - These technologies do not treat hazardous
waste directly but facilitate the use of other hazardous waste treatment technologies
or separate the waste into phases, making further treatment easier. In VISITT, such
technologies include innovative technologies to dewater waste, separate phases, and
to remove debris. In cases in which material handling/physical separation technology
is linked integrally to the use of a particular treatment (for example, a specialized
reactor for bioremediation), the technology also has been placed in the same
technology category as the technology to which it is linked.
Off-Gas Treatment - This technology is specifically designed to treat the off-gas
generated by another innovative treatment technology such as thermal desorption or
soil vapor extraction. Treatment of the gases may involve a chemical reaction to
convert the gases to less hazardous compounds. Other treatments may involve a
physical process such as absorption of the gases onto a substrate where they can be
further treated. The VISITT database contains only innovative off-gas treatment
technologies.
Pyrofysis - This technology, also referred to as cracking, breaks down large
hydrocarbon molecules into molecules with lower molecular weight. This is achieved
in the absence of oxygen (i.e., no oxidation) by high temperature alone. The process
often takes place in a moving-bed or fluidized-bed reactor. The products of the
process include low molecular weight hydrocarbons and stack gases. Catalysts may
be used to promote the pyrolysis process. Some pyrolysis systems may require air
emission control systems for gases generated.
Slagging - This technology applies to hazardous wastes that contain substantial
concentrations of metals (approximately 5 percent or greater). This system operates
in a high-temperature environment of 3,900 °F (2,150°C) or higher. The conditions
may be oxidizing or reducing. In the high temperature environment, such metals as
zinc, lead, and cadmium may be vaporized, along with other volatile compounds, such
as halides, while less volatile metals such as copper or nickel coalesce into a molten
alloy. The remaining components, such as metal oxides, melt into a molten slag.
Some slagging systems may require air emission control systems for acid gas, metal
vapors, and particulate. The VISITT database identifies a separate subcategory of
this technology in cases in which treatment of the off-gas generated by this process
is specified. For slagging technologies listed under this category, no off-gas treatment
is specified.
Slagging - Off-Gas Treated - As defined here, this technology includes all slagging
systems that are followed by some type of off-gas treatment system such as systems
that liquify and recover volatilized constituents, adsorb off-gas with carbon, use a
non-flame low temperature catalytic destruction process, or use incineration (that is,
destruction of organic constituents in a controlled flame combustion process).
C-4
-------
Soil Flushing In Situ - This technology consists of circulating substantial volumes of
water through a contaminated area to flush hazardous waste compounds from the
contaminated site. Water is introduced into the soil through injection wells, trenches,
or sprinklers. The water circulates through the contaminated soil and is extracted
through extraction wells or by other means. The principal defining characteristic of
this technology is its ability to essentially isolate the injected water within the
contaminated subsurface volume, and then to recover the water for aboveground
treatment. The treated water is recycled through the contaminated area. Treatment
chemicals may be added to the water to help remove the hazardous constituents of
concern (for example, water can be slightly acidified to help flush toxic metals from
the waste site). As is the case with air sparging in situ ground water, the use of this
technology depends to a great extent on site-specific soil and ground water
conditions.
Soil/Ground Water Multi-Phase Extraction - This technology extracts contaminants
simultaneously from both the saturated and the unsaturated zone soils in situ. It
usually is applied in tandem with a soil vapor extraction system. These technologies
apply soil vapor extraction techniques to contaminants trapped in saturated zone
soils, which are more difficult to remove than are those in the unsaturated zone. In
some instances, this result may be achieved by sparging the section of a well that
penetrates the ground water table. Other methods also may be employed.
Soil Vapor Extraction - This technology applies a vacuum to a series of extraction
wells to create an air flow through the vadose zone. Air also may be injected through
injection wells to enhance air flow. As air moves through the soil, volatile
contaminants move from the soil and pore water to the air. The contaminated air
is withdrawn often with entrained water. This technology typically strips volatile
organic compounds from the soil. Further treatment of the extracted vapors usually
is required.
Soil Washing - This ex situ technology uses water and mechanical action to remove
hazardous constituents that adhere physically to soil particles. It makes use of the
fact that contaminants have a tendency to adhere to the organic carbon and fine-
grained soil fraction (silt and clay) as opposed to the coarse grain mineral fraction
(sand and gravel). Surficial contamination is removed from the coarse fraction of the
soils by abrasive scouring. The wash water may be augmented with a leaching agent,
surfactant, pH adjustment, or chelating agent to help remove organics or heavy
metals. The spent wash water will require further treatment and most likely will be
recycled back to the treatment unit. The residual fines, which concentrate the
contaminant, also will require further treatment.
Solvent Extraction - Similar to acid extraction, this technology focuses on the removal
of organic compounds, from contaminated material instead of on the removal of
metals. This is an ex situ liquid-solid and liquid-liquid extraction that operates on
C-5
-------
the principle that the organic constituents of concern can be preferentially removed
from the waste to the solvent phase. The solvent used can be varied depending on
the organic compounds to be treated. As with acid extraction, the contaminated
solvent solution will require further treatment.
Thermal Desorption - This technology uses heat in a controlled environment to cause
various organic compounds to volatilize and thereby be removed from contaminated
material. In some cases an inert gas is used to carry the desorbed organics. The
processes are planned and designed to avoid combustion by using lower
temperatures, usually 300°F - 1200°F (150°C -650°C), in the primary unit or by
operating in a reduced-oxygen atmosphere. Higher temperatures may be used when
there is no oxygen present in the desorption chamber. Constituents that are
volatilized will require further control. The VISITT database identifies a separate
subcategory of this technology if treatment of the off-gas generated by this process
was specified. Technologies listed under this category did not specify any type of off-
gas treatment.
Thermal Desorption - Off-Gas Treated - As defined here, this technology includes all
thermal desorption systems that are followed by some type of off-gas treatment
system such as systems that liquify and recover volatilized constituents, adsorb off-gas
with carbon, use a non-flame low temperature catalytic destruction process, or use
incineration (that is, destruction of organic constituents in a controlled flame
combustion process).
Thermally Enhanced Recovery In Situ - This technology typically uses heat to volatilize
contaminants in soil. Once volatilized, the contaminants can be extracted. Some
systems inject hot air or steam directly into the soil to induce vaporization of various
volatile and semivolatile organic compounds. Injection of the hot air or steam may
occur either through injection wells or by other devices such as hollow-stem augers.
In other cases, the heat may be generated by means other than steam, such as
electric current or heating by radio frequency. The vaporized compounds are
extracted directly from the soil through the use of vapor extraction wells. The hot
air or steam (thermal treatment) enhances volatilization of the contaminant, thus
increasing removal rates and facilitating the volatilization of less volatile compounds
that would not have been extracted with such nonthermal treatments such as soil
vapor extraction. Further treatment of the extracted vapors usually is required.
Vitrification - General - This technology treats wastes containing primarily metals and
high concentrations of silicates (soil-like material). This technology uses heat, usually
applied through electrical power, to melt contaminated soils and sludges to form a
stable glass and crystalline structure having very low leaching characteristics. The
contaminated waste typically is heated to a range of 2,900°F to 3,600°F (1,600°C to
2,000 °C), well above the soil's melting point. In some cases, vitrifying agents may
be added. Metals are encapsulated in the glass-like structure of the melted silicate
C-6
-------
compounds, and most organic compounds are destroyed. Constituents that are
volatilized will require further control. In VISITT, this technology also includes
systems that produce a ceramic-like treated waste. The VISITT database identifies
a separate subcategory of this technology in cases in which treatment of the off-gas
generated by this process is specified. For technologies listed under this category no
off-gas treatment is specified.
Vitrification - Off-Gas Treated - As defined here, this technology includes all
vitrification systems that include some type of off-gas treatment, such as systems that
liquefy and recover volatilized constituents, adsorb off-gas with carbon, or use a
nonflame, low-temperature catalytic destruction process, or use incineration (that is,
destruction of organic constituents in a controlled flame combustion process).
II. Other Definitions
Process Types
Batch Process - Processing of the waste occurs without any waste entering or leaving
the process vessel during treatment. An example of a batch treatment process would
be a solvent extraction system where a fixed amount of solvent and waste are mixed
for a given period of time prior to transfer to another treatment operation.
Continuous Process - Untreated and treated wastes are simultaneously introduced and
discharged from the particular treatment unit operation.
Semicontinuous Process - Treatment operations are semicontinuous when 1) after the
initial charge, no wastes are added to the process but some part of the waste is
continuously discharge, or 2) no material is discharged from the process but wastes
or treatment chemicals are continuously added for a finite period of time. An
example of the former system could be a thermal desorption process where a fixed
amount of waste is heated and vapors are continuously withdrawn.
Soils and Soil Type Terms
Soil - Any of the various types of natural surface materials present above bedrock.
Soil Classification - As used in this form, the term is meant to describe any of five
groupings of soil based on particle size. The soil groupings and associate particle
size are as follows: clay (.0002 to .002 millimeters), silt (.002 to .02 mm), fine sand
(.02 to .2 mm), coarse sand (0.2 to 2.0 mm), and gravel (greater than 2 mm).*1

C-7

Media Terms
Sludge - A semi-solid material with a moisture content typically between 2 and 20
percent. The term is used here to identify the applicability of various technologies
to a material that contains significant amounts of moisture but is relatively viscous
and may present some problems with regard to pumping and mixing. Examples of
sludges include residuals from treatment of metal wastes and the mixture of
waste/soil at the bottom of a waste lagoon.
Ground water in situ - As used here, the term "ground water" refers to subsurface
water found in the zone of saturation (that is, the fraction of the subsurface where
all pore space is filled with water). Treatment of "ground water in situ" refers to
treatment in place of ground water and/or treatment without excavation of the
saturated soil to which contaminants may be adsorbed.
Nonaqueous Phase Liquids (NAPL) - Organic substances that are relatively insoluble
in water. These substances will form immiscible layers in the subsurface.
Dense Nonaqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPL) - Organic substances that are relatively
insoluble in water and are more dense than water. These substances will tend to
migrate vertically through sand and gravel aquifers to the underlying confining layer
where they will form an immiscible layer. They may also be referred to as "sinkers."
Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL) - Organic substances that are relatively
insoluble in water and are less dense than water. These substances will tend to
spread across the surface of the water table and form an immiscible layer on top of
the water table. They are also referred to as "floaters."
Engineering Terms
Technology Limitations - This term is meant to describe any contaminant,
contaminant group, or waste parameter that can prohibit the applicability of a
technology to a given waste, or adversely affect that technology in treating a
particular waste. For example, biodegradation is inhibited by high concentration of
toxic metals, and thermal desorption requires more energy in the presence of
significant amounts of moisture. Other factors that may affect applicability and/or
performance include soil particle size, oil and grease concentration, total organic
carbon concentration (TOC), moisture content, cyanide concentration, and complex
metals.
TreatabUity Studies - As used here, the term applies to treatment technology tests
(usually at the bench or pilot scale) conducted to generate data on the untreated and
treated concentrations (i.e., performance data) of various constituents, constituent
groups, or pollutant parameters. These performance data are then used to assess
C-8
-------
whether a particular technology is a viable option for cleanup of specific
petroleum/hazardous waste sites or used to determine design parameters.
Operating Principle - These are the underlying scientific explanation for "why" a
treatment technology works. For example, the operating principle of thermal
desorption is that the addition of energy (in this case, in the form of heat) can cause
chemicals to volatilize (i.e., go from liquid to vapor phase) and thereby be separated
from the waste of concern. (Note: An explanation of "how" heat is supplied to a
various chemical is a description of the various treatment operations.)
Transportable Technology - Any technology that can be moved, either completely
assembled or in various parts and then reassembled at a hazardous waste site is
considered to be a transportable technology.
Fixed Technology - A technology that can only be used at the locations at which it is
already assembled.
In situ - As used here, the term is meant to describe the treatment of hazardous
wastes in the media and at the location that they are found. In situ treatment does
not involve any excavation of the wastes.
Contaminant Terms
Contaminant - For the purpose of this information request, any of the hazardous
substances that are listed later in this appendix are considered contaminants. These
are the same substances that are designated as hazardous under CERCLA at 40 CFR
302.4.
Contaminant Group - As used here, a term that applies to any of the generic names
used to describe multiple contaminants that have similar chemical and/or physical
properties. Two examples of contaminant groups are volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) and radioactive metals.
Pollutant Parameter - Any of the terms used to describe waste characteristics as a
whole as opposed to discrete groups of individual contaminants. Pollutant
parameters include biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total organic carbon (TOC),
pH, and moisture content.

13. Description of Technology. In 300 words or less, describe treatment process, including scientific
principle on which the technology is based; key treatment steps; unique and innovative features;
whether full-scale system is/will be batch, continuous, or semicontinuous; and whether the technology
is above ground or in situ. Parts 2 and 3 allow more detail for full- and pilot-scale systems. Provide
a flow chart of the treatment process, showing the equipment necessary for each step. Flowcharts
might not be included in VISITT.
EXAMPLE
Description of Technology
ABC Corporation has developed an innovative solvent extraction technology (SUPER) that uses Super Chemical as
the solvent. Super Chemical is a biodegradable solvent.
The key to success of this process Is Super Chemical's property of Inverse miscibillty; below 65 degrees F, Super
Chemical is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and above 65 degrees F, it is insoluble in water (hydrophobia). Therefore,
cold Super Chemical can extract water and water-soluble compounds, and warm Super Chemical can extract organic
contaminants, such as PCBs, pesticides, PAHs, SVOCs, and VOCs.
Wjthth the unit, the soil is washed continuously with Super Chemical in a counter-current process. The contaminants
dissolve in the solution and are removed from the soil by the counter-current flow. The contaminated solvents are
reclaimed in a closed-loop circuit, eliminating the need for large volumes of solvent. The clean, washed soil is moved
to a closed-loop dryer system, where any excess solvent is removed from the soil, When the soil exits the system,
it is relatively free of organic* and dry. The collected contaminant from the solvent washing is concentrated 1,000 to
10,000 times, reducing its volume and its associated disposal costs, and is pumped periodically from the system Into
labeled 55-gallori drums for conventional off-site disposal.
Emissions of organic vapors to air are controlled and treated by a carbon absorption system.

14. Technology Highlights. In 200 words or less, describe, in terms of contaminants treated,
performance, implementation, or cost, the key marketable features of technology, such as treatment
niche and advantages over other technologies.
EXAMPLE
Technology Highlights
The SUPER solvent extraction process can treat soils, sludges, and sediments contaminated
with PCBs, carcinogenic PAHs, pesticides, and VOCs at 20% to 40% of incineration costs.
treated products from the SUPER process Include: water suitable for discharge, oil for
recyde as fuel, and solids that can be returned to the site as backfill. The process also can
reduce the initial volume of contaminated material by as much as 90%.
The SUPER solvent extraction process operates at near ambient pressures and temperatures,
uses off-the-shelf process equipment, and controls air emissions. The extraction efficiency
(organic removal efficiency) achieved is as high as 99%.
Solvent recovery is also greater than 99%. The process can treat up to 300 tons per day of
contaminated soil. This technology is well accepted by communities because air emissions
are minimized.

15. Technical Limitations. In 200 words or less, describe technical limitations such as specific
contaminants or contaminant combinations, temperature, moisture content, or chemical properties of
the contaminant, that could adversely affect applicability or performance.
EXAMPLE
Technology Limitations
The SUPER process is not applicable for metal-onfy, (e.g., radioactive) or other inorganic
wastes, but its performance is not affected by Inorganics at low concentrations, This process
may require screening or crushing to 0.25 inch, and other feed preparation operations,
depending on the waste. The extraction efficiency of an organic contaminant will depend on
its solubility in the solvent. The solvent used is best suited for PCBs and pesticides.

EXAMPLE
Major Unit Processes
Preprocessing
• Front-end loader and weight scale
* Shredder
• Radial stacker belt conveyor and surge hopper
1; Stockpiled soil is transported to a weigh scale by a front-end loader.
2, Soil is deposited directly on a power shredding device. Classified soil with a top size
of less than 2 Inches passes through the shredder into the feed conveyor,
3. The feed conveyor is an enclosed radial stacker belt conveyor that is 18 inches wide
and 60 feet long. The conveyor discharges into the surge hopper located above the
thermal processor. The soil is fed into the LT system at regular intervals to maintain the
surge hopper seal.
Processing
• Thermal processor
» Induced draft (ID) fan for vapors
* Horizontal screw conveyor and ash conditioner
1. The thermal processor houses four intermeshed screw conveyors. The function of each
screw conveyor fs to move soil forward through the processor and to thoroughly mix
the material, providing indirect contact between the heat transfer fluid and the soil. The
shafts and flights of the screw conveyors and the processor jackets are hollow to allow
circulation of a heat transfer fluid (that is, hot oil).
2. Vapors are driven off the soil and are drawn out of the thermal processor by an ID fan.
3. Soil is discharged from the thermal processor onto a horizontal screw conveyor and
then an ash conditioner.
4. The conditioner is a ribbon flight screw conveyor. Water spray nozzles installed in the
conditioner housing cool the discharge material and minimize fugitive dust emissions.
Postprocessing
• Stacker belt conveyor and dump truck
1. The conditioner discharges onto an inclined stacker belt. The stacker belt conveys the
wetted processed soil from the conditioner to the dump truck.

EXAMPLE
Major Unit Processes
Pilot-scale testing involves processing the soils or bulk soils through various operations of
reduced*slze equipment that when set in series, would be simitar to a full-scale operation. The
equipment consists of:
1. A hopper and screen for feed preparation; removal of tramp material and sizing, If needed.
2. A mixing or attrition tank where the prepared feed Is introduced to the liquids. In the most
basic system, extraction of contaminant takes place at this stage.
3. A classification circuit, consisting of a sump, pump, and cyclone for separation of coarse
sand, gravel, and organics from fine clays and silts.
4. If extraction of contaminant so requires, coarse material is subjected to a specific gravity (SG)
separation through use of a vessel, cyclone, or hydroslzer. Contaminated smaller size
material (low SG) Is separated from the clean, coarse (high SG} material.
5. Clean, coarse material is dewatered with a screen, although in full-scale operation, additional
dryers (centrifuges) may be employed,
6. Low SG organics containing contaminant are dewatered with a screen and collected for
disposal or secondary treatment.
7. Clays and silts are flocculated in a reaction tank and gravity-concentrated in a thickener or
clarifier.
8. Thickened clays and silts containing contaminant are dewatered in a belt press and sent for
disposal or secondary processing.
9. Recycled liquid from the thickening and dewatering process is collected and, in some cases,
treated before it is returned to the mixing/attrition tank.

EXAMPLE
Description of Bench-Scale Testing Procedures
In our feasibility assessment tests, we usually start with a sample of the soil to be treated and
a knowledge of the nature and of each contaminant concentration and the effluent goals to be
met. The following steps then are taken:
a. The optimal conditions for soil washing are studied, such as pH, time, and chelating agent
and concentration.
b« Various likely adsorbents are studied on a batch basis to determine which are most effective
at removing the metals of interest from the chelating agent in the washing water.
c. One or more selected media then are studied on columns to determine their ability to retain
metals in a continuous-flow situation.
d. For the surviving adsorbent(s), the ion elution performance then is determined; after this step,
one resin wilt have been selected as optimal for the particular task under study.
e. The selected adsorbent then is subjected to a number of charge and regeneration cycles to
establish its rugged ness.
