If you were considering implementing any new or emerging technology, what are several things you must first do?

If you were considering implementing any new or emerging technology, what are several things you must first do?

Landfill and Waste

What are the principal benefits for operating a landfill that acts as a bioreactor and what waste characteristics would be best suited to the process?

Landfill Leak Detectors

While there are a number of different types of landfill leak detection sensors, what criteria would you use to select one or several?

Handling a Diesel Spill

As the environmental manager of a facility that has just experienced a diesel spill from a UST, what must you do? You are also interested in new or emerging remediation technologies and have been looking for the opportunity to try one. What also might you do?

Discuss the various methods for bringing closure to a UST

Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) There are many underground storage tanks (UST) throughout the United States and abroad. They commonly contain diesel fuel, gasoline, chemicals, and hazardous/radioactive liquids. There have been and continue to be problems with leaking UST's and this offers opportunities to implement remediation technologies we have discussed as well as new or emerging technologies. For example, at the Department of Energy's Hanover nuclear energy facility, much effort is focused on attempting to design remediation technologies to stabilize UST's filled with hazardous and radioactive liquids. UST's are commonly found at gas stations, truck facilities, sanitary landfills... click for more
