COMPLEX BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR IN-SITU THERMAL TREATMENTS (ISTT) CONDUCTED DURING LAND RECYCLING AND REMEDIATION BENEATH BUILDINGS
Hiester, U. and M. Mueller. AquaConSoil 2015 & Proceedings of the 13th International UFZ-Deltares Conference on Sustainable Use and Management of Soil, Sediment and Water Resources, Copenhagen. 10 pp, 2015
This paper discusses challenges to in situ thermal treatment (ISTT) projects as illustrated in two case studies of remediation for PCE, TCE, and daughter products. In Case 1, ISTT implementation via thermal wells was concurrent with simultaneous foundation and superstructure work on a new factory building, and in Case 2, steam-enhanced extraction was conducted beneath a building during ongoing industrial production. The authors identify potential difficulties, offer suggestions for future projects, and describe the impact of complex boundary conditions on ISTT design, operation, and performance measurement. http://www.reconsite.com/fileadmin/dateien/Publikationen/Thermal-in-situ-treatment-TCH-SEE-TISS_Hiester_AquaConSoil2015.pdf
