INNOVATIONS IN SMOULDERING: MANAGEMENT OF PFAS, BIOSOLIDS, ACID MINE DRAINAGE, AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
Grant, G. | RemTech 2019: Remediation Technologies Symposium, 16-18 October, Banff, 29 slides, 2019

An overview of the in situ Self-sustaining Treatment for Active Remediation (STAR) and ex situ STARx technologies is accompanied by summaries of ongoing research into the application of these low-energy thermal techniques to address PFAS and other recalcitrant compounds as well as media such as mine tailings (to mitigate acid mine drainage) and biosolids. Presentation slides illustrate STAR implemented to remediate coal tar at a former manufacturing facility in Newark and STARx to co-treat stockpiled separator sludge with oil-impacted site soils at an active terminal facility in Southeast Asia.
