Thermal enhanced vapor extraction system-cooperative ER/OTD technology development
An improved technology to extract VOCs from the unsaturated zone has developed into a cooperative Environmental Restoration and Technology Development effort. This cooperation is important because the timing of an innovative technology demonstration is critical to the transfer of that technology into an ER remedial action decision. The Mixed-Waste Landfill Integrated Demonstration (MWLID) Program will be demonstrating a Thermal Enhanced Vapor Extraction System that will improve existing vacuum vapor extraction technology by applying in-situ soil heating. Combined demonstrations of vacuum vapor extraction and both powerline frequency and radiofrequency soil heating technologies began in FY92.
