In response to tht Superfund Mendlltnts and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) the us Envtron~~~ental Protection Agencys Offices of Research and Oeveloplltnt (ORO) and Solid Waste and EMrgency Response (OSWER) have estab11 shed a fonu1 progrUI to accelerate the devel opn~ent demonstrat 1 on and use of new or tnnovatht ttchnologtes as alternathes to current contatnshyMnt syste~~s for hnardous wutes The new prograM 1s called the Superfund lnnovatht Technology Evaluation progra111 or StTE

The ujor objecthe of a OOnstratton Tnt Prograbull 1s to develop reliable cost and perfonunce tnfonutton One candidate technology wntch wn dMOnstrattd tn October 1987 at the Ooughssvflle Pennsylvania Superfund S1tl 1s the HAZCON proprietary so11d1ftcatton process The process involves the int1Mtl bull1x1ng of hanrdous wastt uttrhl and ctMnt with a patented nontoxic chbull1ca1 called Chloranan Chloranan according to HAZCON neutralshyizes the 1nh1bfttng effects that organic contbulltnant utertals have on caent rtlctfons For this treatnt the wastes are 1-obilfztd and bound into 1 hardned leach-rtsistant concrete--like uss

The Douglusv111e Pennsylvania SUperfund Sitt No 102 on the National Prfortty Ltst selected u the location for the oonstratfon Test This ts 1 SO acre rural sfte that an oil recovery tact11ty The stte includM t llrgo 11-bull once filled with oily sludge an oily filter cake disposal area an ofl d storage bull an area where generated sludge WIS landfl~ into the sofl and the plant processing area An astibulltod 250000 cubic yards of soil 1111 ba contuinatod

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

Tho bullJor olljacthas of tho SITE prograbull ara to dotamino tho following

1 Tho ability of tho HAZCON process to i-bilfzo tho contutnants at the Dougllssvfllt Pennsyhanh Superfund Site

2 The potential tntegrtty of the solfdtfttd sofls and

3 Tlte fteld relfabtl tty of the equt~t used to process the different wastes at the sth middot

DEMOtiSTRATON PROGRAM

Contbulltnated sons at the Douglassville Pennsylvania Superfund Site were processed by HAZCDN usfng a truck ounted syst1111 This systet11 blended the contUifnated sofls wtth portland ceMent water and Chloranan (a proprishyetary chtcal) to create a soltd1f1od bulltortal

Sh different contaminated sotls at the Ooughssvf11e Pennsyhanh site were processct by HAZCON frOM the following locat i ons 1) lagoon north (LAN) 2) lagoon south (LAS) J) filter cake storage area (FSA) 4) drum storage aret (OSA) 5) phnt flctlfty area (PFA) and 6) landfam area (LFA) The intent was to process enough sotl to yteld a tretted voltne of 5 cubtc yards fr0111 each of 5 areas An utended duration run for the shth area was to deter~~~tne the relhb111ty of the operating equipment Approxt 111tely 25 cubic yards of LAS contamfnatct so11 was to be treated The actual runs used less sofl but resulted tn approximately 5 and 25 cubic yards of treated sotl

The contlllt nated soil was excavated and scruned to remove material gruur than J inches It was thon fld into tho HAZCON Mobile Field Blending Untt MFU bull the truck IIOUnttd systM) along with 11 portland c~~~~ent water and Chloranan Ce~~nt wu used on an approxfbullately 11 basts with sotl and the soil to Chloranan ratio was 10 1 The four feed caponents were blended tn a bullfxing screw and fed to 5 one-cubic yard wooden IJIOlds for the short tests and 3 one-cubtcmiddotyard plus two 12 cubic yard pits for the LAS Ourtng tho processing of tho thrH soils 1-st in organics (OSA LFA and PFA) toluene was injected t nto the soil to attai n a concentration of 100 PPMmiddot It was felt that this would provide leachate concentrations of sufftctent ugnftude to be above the analytical detectton l1111tts

Whf le the contabullfnatld sotl was processed and cured the excavat i on holts were enlarged 11ntd wfth an i~~pervious plastic liner and partfllly f111ed wtth clean sotl After the one cubtc yamiddotrd blocks cured suffici ently to be IIOYid (48middot96 hours) they were raovld fro the 110lds and placed tnto the pfts The blocks were then covered wfth addftfonal clean sofl After 28 days the blocks were supled It ts planned that 6 and 12 110nths after burfll the blocks be SUpltd again to develop long-ten~ test results

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

HAZCON EnginHring Inc s -gt1111o Field Blending Unit (MfU) operates 11 1 continuous processing unft The Mobtlt Fteld Blending Untt Flow Dhgr followed by 1 descrfptton of each operation (nUIIber to nuber) ts shown 1n Figure 1 Operating capacittes thouth governed by predeterintd bullh ratfos set in the laboratory are Vlrflble by up to 12 cubic yards of processed raw waste ~r operating hour The MFU has no external utility requi raents other than 1 standard water hoolt up and the attactent of a bullqufck connectbull ltne frOM 1 bulk c-nt carrier The equtplent obtains fts drfvfng power frc the dfestl engine of the MFU vehicle

Sh different contaminated sotls at the Ooughssvf11e Pennsyhanh site were processct by HAZCON frOM the following locat i ons 1) lagoon north (LAN) 2) lagoon south (LAS) J) filter cake storage area (FSA) 4) drum storage aret (OSA) 5) phnt flctlfty area (PFA) and 6) landfam area (LFA) The intent was to process enough sotl to yteld a tretted voltne of 5 cubtc yards fr0111 each of 5 areas An utended duration run for the shth area was to deter~~~tne the relhb111ty of the operating equipment Approxt 111tely 25 cubic yards of LAS contamfnatct so11 was to be treated The actual runs used less sofl but resulted tn approximately 5 and 25 cubic yards of treated sotl

phtnols tn the leachates were tn the range of hundreds of bullicrograms per lftlr with the SUM concentration levels seen tn both the untreated 1nd treated soil leachates

PCBs - PCB analyses are 1n progress and not yet available

6 The bullicrostructura1 studies provided the fall owt ng 1 nformat 1 on

The Mixing of the four process COfiiPOnents was not always COCftPlttt At tfMS bulltcroscoptc analysts found globules of untreated organics and unreacted ctMnt

RESULTS - SPECIFIC

The 1nd1v1dua1 results fiOII several test procedures were very interestshying Exuples are dtscusstd below

1 TM f11ter storage area (FSA) had an at and greue concentration of 2S31 The unconfined CCIIIIIIreSSho strength (UCS) of tho 7 ond 28-doy FSA SIIIPlts ws uny tt greater than the labOratory suples Nde without tho propriotory choaicol Cllloronon

2 The ofl and grease analyses of the untreatlid waste TCLP leachates were nur the detection 11bullits of 02 Pillbull 011 and grease concentrations rtnged fro 1 to 251 for the stx wstls

CONCLUSIONS

The following conclusions were drawn frc the prelfbullinary analytical dati and operations obsentd at the Oouglassvtlle Pennsyhanfl Superfund Site

1 The vol_ of the soltdtf1td sofls ustng the HAZCON process at Douglassvtlle resulted tn an tncruse of approxfNtely 1001 when c-red to the vole of the untreated sot 1s

2 The unconftntd c011preuhe strength ranted frc 200 to 1500 psi and was tnrsely proportional to the oil and grease concentration

J The TCLP 1uch1ng tHts for tho so11difitd soils produced very low levels of Mtals valatfle organics and sbullholattle orgAnics tn the luchate However for the organtcs the leachate concentrations were approxtNtlly equal for the treated and untreated sons
