Important tools in the toolbox
• Heavily contaminated source zones• Stringent remediation requirements• Fast clean-up• Large volumes• Clay/silts/fractured• Deep contamination• Many contaminants and mixtures
Data on much of this in NIRAS’ and Krügers booth up stairs!!
Remediation Mechanisms
3
• Boiling point in multiphase system and steam-drive
Mechanisms and values for TCE
• Vapor pressure increases• TCE: 18 times for 10 - 100 °C
• Henrys law constant increases• TCE: 12 times for 25 - 100 °C
• The enthalpy of sorption decreases• TCE: 20 % from 10 - 100 °C
• In Situ degradation
• Viscosity, interfacial tensions and densityreduced: ~ 1 – 2 times

In Situ Thermal Desorption and destruction
Heater-OnlyWell
Heater-VacuumWell
To Off-Gas Treatment Unit
Volatilization and Destruction of Contaminants
Target T: 100oC to 300oC
Very Hot Thermal Destruction Zone300oC to 700oC
Off-Gas Residence Time Several Hours
1 to 2 feet 1 to 2 feet
Important design issues:
6
• Goals / effect on risk or value• Time• Price
• Liquid and vapor capture• Condensation fronts• Boiling water is expensive• Temperature distribution• Energy balance• Organic rich soils• Underground utilities / buildings etc.
Important design issues
