REMEDIAL PROCESSES FOR CONTAMINATED LAND - PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE
This book provides guidance for good practice in the selection, design, commissioning, operation, monitoring and validation of process technologies for the remedial treatment of contaminated land. It is the result of a CIRIA research project that identified UK usage of these process technologies, and by an international review of experience and consultation with practitioners, established guidelines for good practice in these relatively new methods. Nine generic technologies are described: ex-situ bioremediation, enhanced in-situ bioremediation, natural attenuation, soil vapour extraction, air sparging, bioventing, dual-phase vapour extraction, soil washing, and cement fixation. Each of these technologies is described in terms of: its definition; the scientific principles underlying the process; its applicability and selection; plant/equipment typically required; limitations on its use; aspects of planning and managing the treatment including data requirements; timescales, health and safety, regulatory and environmental requirements, criteria for remediation; basics of design; guidance on specifications; operations monitoring and evaluation; and closure and validation.
