Conceptual Design and Cost Estimate: Six-Phase Soil Heating of the Saturated Zone Complex 34 Site at Cape Canaveral
Abstract
A conceptual design and cost estimate are described for applying Six-Phase Soil Heating (SPSH) technology at the Complex 34 Site at Cape Canaveral, which is suspected of containing DNAPL contaminants. The design uses two circular arrays of electrodes to heat the groundwater, and a soil vapor extraction system removes the resulting steam and contaminant vapors through horizontal wells and a surface plenum. Approximately 200,000 gallons of water and 650 kg of chlorinated solvents will be removed during the eight-week treatment (more if DNAPL is present). Subsurface temperature and pressure monitoring will guide operations and collect data on treatment process. The amount of solvent removed will be monitored by periodic sampling. Groundwater samples will be collected before and after treatment. The overall cost of applying the six-phase soil heating technology for this project is anticipated as $490K. The per volume cost of this treatment operation, based on a total treated soil volume of 7,000 cubic yards, is $70 per cubic yard.
