On June 7, 2000, EPA's
Technology Innovation Office (TIO) held an all-day conference on in situ
thermal treatment. Thermal energy can be applied to enhance the effectiveness
of technologies such as Soil Vapor Extraction and, as a stand-alone technology,
can be used to address semi-volatile and non-volatile contaminants not readily
amenable to vapor extraction. Recent in situ thermal treatment developments
offer the potential for improving effectiveness while reducing the costs of
remedial actions. Conference presentations provide practitioners and
decision-makers with essential and up-to-date information on this promising
remedial approach. The conference included presentations on the principal
methods presently employed to heat the subsurface to recover or destroy
contaminants, fundamental operating principles, design considerations and
limitations, and case studies. Although case studies involve particular
technologies and vendors, the purpose is to increase the basic understanding of
the capabilities of these innovative approaches to remediation.
