In Situ Treatment Technology, Second Edition

This reference consolidates information on the various in situ remediation technologies. Each of the primary areas is covered separately, providing detailed reviews, including laboratory and pilot plant studies, full-scale design, operation and maintenance, cost analysis, and case histories. The most exciting technical area in the remediation field today is "in place" or "in situ" technologies. This new book in the popular Geraghty & Miller series provides a single reference source, consolidating information on the various in situ technologies. Each of the primary areas is covered in a separate chapter, allowing for in-depth reviews, including laboratory and pilot plant studies, full-scale design, operation and maintenance, cost analysis, and case histories. Expert accounts are also given emerging in situ technologies. One of the unique features of this new book is its excellent coverage of the geologic foundation and limitations of each of the technologies. Material at the beginning of the book explains the limitations of pump and treatment remediation, and shows how some of these limitations may also apply to in situ technologies. This section provides the reader with a basis on which to analyze and predict the possible success of any new in situ methods that are developed in the future.
