Cost and Performance Reports: On-Site Incineration at Superfund Sites

Incineration has been used as a remedy at more than 40 superfund sites. Information on cost and performance of incineration can be valuable to Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) and other decision makers responsible for future site cleanup projects. To date, reports on cost and performance for this technology have been limited. Fifteen case studies were prepared to obtain additional data on operating experience for completed projects. A report summarizing the case studies and providing technology descriptions makes general observations based on individual applications.

Public Health Reviews of Hazardous Waste Thermal Treatment Technologies: A Guidance Manual for Public Health Assessors
Betty C. Willis, Max M. Howie, and Robert C. Williams.
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, ATSDR-HA-ML-2002-0001, 2002.

This document is intended to provide guidance to health assessors and other health professionals in assessing the public health implications of an incineration or desorption facility. It is written for health professionals who conduct technical reviews of thermal treatment technologies, have a technical background, and are somewhat familiar with thermal treatment systems.

Technology Innovation News Survey (TINS)

The Technology Innovation News Survey contains market/commercialization information; reports on demonstrations, feasibility studies, and research; and other news relevant to the hazardous waste community interested in technology development. This report is updated every two weeks.

Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), Twelfth Edition
EPA 542-R-07-012, 2007


The Twelfth Edition of this report, published by the EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) in September 2007, documents treatment technology applications at more than 1,900 soil and groundwater cleanup projects at National Priorities List (NPL) sites. The status of more than 1,200 projects included in the ASR Eleventh Edition is updated, and information about 192 new projects derived from Records of Decision (ROD) signed from 2002 through 2005 is added. The report also includes a special section about on-site containment remedies. The ASR is based on the analysis of nearly 3,000 RODs signed since 1982 at 1,536 NPL sites. The online version includes new downloadable spreadsheets with the data for several of the key tables and figures in the report. Specific information about each technology application included in the ASR Twelfth Edition is available in the ASR Remediation Database.

VOC Off-Gas Treatment Technologies Database
Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC), with the Alternative Restoration Technology Team (ARTT).

This Web application assists the user in comparing a variety of emerging, innovative, or conventional volatile organic compound off-gas treatment technologies, many of which use heat to destroy the contaminants. A technology profile, schematic, unit cost estimator, and advantages/disadvantages assessment are provided for each technology.
