Page 7 - ... alternative or innovative treatment technologies" means those technologies, including proprietary or patented methods, which permanently alter the composition of hazardous waste through chemical, biological, or physical means so as to significantly reduce the toxicity, mobility, or volume (or any combination thereof) of the hazardous waste or contaminated materials being treated. The term also includes technologies that characterize or assess the extent of contamination, the chemical and physical...
Page 26 - The steam heats the ground being remediated, increasing the vapor pressure of the volatile contaminants and thereby increasing the rate at which they can be stripped. Both the air and steam serve as carriers to convey these contaminants to the surface. A metal box, called a shroud, seals the process area above the rotating cutter blades from the outside environment, collects the volatile contaminants, and ducts them to the process train.
