Pollution Engineering - February 2009 - (Page 25)

RemTEC Features emT emTEC is a conference sponsored by Pollution TEC Engineering magazine and the Georgia Institute Engi of Technology. Top researchers from academia Te and major consulting engineering firms will be mak making presentations. Over 70 college students ill b will be providing poster and platform presentations. Here is just a sample of what to expect at the conference (visit www.remtec09.com to view the entire lineup).

R alone methods. The company has had very good success and will share the results with the audience. Tracing tracers James W. Jawitz, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Florida will present a paper entitled Reactive Tracer Techniques for Predicting DNAPL Mass Depletion and Flux Reduction. He will discuss analytical, numerical and laboratory experimental applications of tracers (reactive and non-reactive) that will aid in the quantification and remedial performance in the field. His group has extended reactive tracer techniques to also characterize NAPL spatial distribution heterogeneity. Reducing organic contaminants Paul B. Harzinger, Ph.D. will discuss biological reduction and oxidation of organic contaminants. N-Nitrosodimethylamine is an emerging contaminant that will have to be treated to nanogram per liter concentrations. SERDP has funded his research into treatment technologies, the findings of which will be shared at the conference. Sequestering uranium Stanford University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory teamed up for a study of biological reduction and oxidation of organic contaminants as well, and Phillip M. Jardine will be presenting their findings. They looked at the impact of coupled processes on bio-enhanced sequestration of uranium in heterogeneous subsurface environments. The impact of intruding oxidants, on stability of bioreduced U(IV) in the subsurface was also examined. “ Visit www.remtec09.com to view the entire lineup. Chromium bioreduction Terry C. Hazen from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will be presenting a case study of long-term sustainability of chromium bioreduction at a location on their facility named the Hanford 100H site. HRC was injected into boreholes to immobilize hex-chrome. He will detail how the product interacted with conditions to achieve their results. ” Sustainable remediation DuPont has been seeking sustainable approaches to remediation that provide a net benefit to the environment. These approaches will minimize energy consumption, reduce releases to the environment, harness or mimic a natural process, result in the reuse or recycling of land materials, and encourage the use of remediation technologies. David E. Ellis from the company is expected to present a specific case study demonstrating these accomplishments. There is such a wealth of information that will be available at this conference. There will be more than ample time to view the results and ask questions of every presenter during and after the presentations. See you in Atlanta!

Dugan of the Carus Corporation is presenting a paper on the combination of two techniques that have demonstrated great promise for in-situ cleanup projects.
