Site-Specific Technical Report for the Evaluation of Thermatrix GS Series Flameless Thermal Oxidizer for Off-Gas Treatment of Soil Vapors with Volatile Organic Compounds at Site FT-002, Plattsburgh Air Force Base, New York
Abstract
The SVE and vapor-phase treatment demonstration was performed at Plattsburgh AFB, New York, Site FT-002, from August 27, 1996 through March 25, 1997. The technology demonstration was conducted over a 30-week period, and soil vapors were extracted from 14 site wells. The FTO system was tested using individual wells, or pairs of wells for a period of up to 2 weeks per well (or well pair) to determine the optimum vacuum/extraction flow rate balance among all wells and soil vapor concentrations from each of the wells. The 30-week demonstration served two primary purposes: 1) evaluation of the FTO technology, and 2) collection of test data to support the design and operation of a full-scale SVE system that was installed at Site FT-002 by OHM Remediation Services, Inc. (OHM) in 1996. The FTO technology demonstration was performed in accordance with the Final Work Plan for the Evaluation of Flameless Thermal Oxidation at Plattsburgh Air Force Base (the work plan) (Parsons ES, 1996a), and the Addendum to the FTO work plan (Parsons ES, 1996c). The purpose of the site-specific technical report is to evaluate the effectiveness of the FTO system during the Site FT-002 field demonstration and to summarize FTO system performance, operational costs and reliability, and evaluate full-scale treatment system application for the site FT-002.
