Abstract

Provides guidance for good practice in the selection, design, commissioning, operation, monitoring and validation of process technologies for the remedial treatment. The first two chapters describe the method and the general findings of the research and set the technologies in a framework of their use in the UK and general criteria for their appropriateness as a treatment method. Nine generic technologies are described using a consistent set of headings. The technologies are: ex-situ bioremediation; enhanced in-situ bioremediation; natural attenuation; soil vapour extraction; air sparging; bioventing; dual-phase vapour extraction; soil washing; cement fixation.
