The award is presented for a publication by an AEG Member(s) within the 5 previous years that is adjudged to be an outstanding contribution to the Engineering Geology profession. Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites is geared toward environmental professionals who want to design and implement gasworks remediation strategies that offer the greatest chance to successfully protect the public. Exploring the bases for selecting remedial alternatives to adequately address today’s environmental wounds, this compendium of essential knowledge combines historic and modern scientific data and technology with common sense and empirical lore passed down from past generations of gas professionals, a group that is now all but extinct. Most of the general population does not have a sufficient understanding of remediation needs. Unfortunately, there seems to be a similar lack of knowledge among some environmental professionals whose job it is to protect the public from the health threats associated with coal tar. Pitfalls in remediation are common and represent a significant risk to the public, especially when processes are based on inaccurate assumptions. This book sifts through the existing scholarship from around the developed world to present the necessary evaluation factors used in effective remediation. Almost encyclopedic in scope, it offers 265 separate tables with checklists, hard data facts, and associations to help readers define site-specific gas plant conditions. It also includes a plethora of photographs and historic drawings, as well as an extensive glossary that is indispensible for understanding potential and actual gas plant contamination. Useful for engineers, scientists, regulators, public officials, historians, and journalists among others, this book is intended for those who conduct remediation, as well as those involved in review and oversight. Its goal is to bring users closer to safely reclaiming land and reviving old coal gasworks sites in ways that ultimately will be sustainable for the public interest.
Book Synopsis Remediation and Reuse of a Former Manufactured Gas Plant Site in Champaign, IL by : Manasi B. Mhasawade
Download or read book Remediation and Reuse of a Former Manufactured Gas Plant Site in Champaign, IL written by Manasi B. Mhasawade and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to review effective technologies for eliminating contamination associated with manufactured gas plant sites by using in situ remediation. Another aim was to speculate an adaptive reuse of the site through revelatory design such that it unfolds the history of manufactured gas plants as they existed in 1800s to mid 1900s and also to educate the public about the remediation processes implemented on the site. The thesis argues that excavation 0́3 transportation 0́3 land filling is not an environmentally sound approach to site remediation but is only a temporary solution. Steps involved studying the timeline and site dynamics to understand the production processes and transformation of the site over nearly 8 decades of operation. Studying locations of each component of the gas plant and comparing them with current areas of contamination helped to draw parallels about the probable sources and structures causing contamination and health concerns. Horizontal and vertical mapping of toxic compounds clarified the extent of below ground contamination and migration over the years. In situ remediation technologies were chosen based on nature and extent of contamination on the site. The techniques chosen were robust and capable of handling deep below ground contamination. Cost and temporal analysis were used to compare a range of techniques for their cost effectiveness and site clean up duration. Speculative projections for the site were based on remediation needs and shaped the conceptual site design. Possibilities of cultivating history and memory as part of the cleanup process were also tested with one scenario. Revelatory designs were proposed to function only for the time the remediation process was active or only a limited time after clean up. The last part of the thesis addressed social concerns associated with exposure to contaminants during clean up. In addition, to give the site a regional context, it is proposed that since the site0́9s location offered a unique advantage of connectivity to other towns, it could be part of a future recreation corridor. The study also has the potential to serve as a brownfield remediation and redevelopment primer for the 67 other manufacturing gas plant sites in the state of Illinois.
Book Synopsis The Application of Steam-enhanced Extraction for in Situ Remediation of Coal Tar Residues at a Former Manufactured Gas Plant Site by : Spiros L. Fafalios
Download or read book The Application of Steam-enhanced Extraction for in Situ Remediation of Coal Tar Residues at a Former Manufactured Gas Plant Site written by Spiros L. Fafalios and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early 19th century to the mid 20th century, manufactured gas plants (MPGs) generated coal tar as a by-product of manufactured gas. Often, when these sites were abandoned, coal tar remained in the structures, including the tar separator, tar wells, and gas holders. Such areas are often targeted for source removal actions, because over the decades during operation and since decommissioning, the coal tar has in many cases migrated from its original locations to deeper and more widespread areas of contamination, while maintaining its properties as a dense non-aqueous phase liquid. Remedial actions at MGP sites typically focus on ex situ remediation of coal tar residues in soil and groundwater.

Book Synopsis Remediation of Manufactured Gas Plant Soils Contaminated with Free and Complex Cyanide by :
Download or read book Remediation of Manufactured Gas Plant Soils Contaminated with Free and Complex Cyanide written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyanide is one of the main contaminants present in soil from manufactured gas plants (MGP) . Several treatment methods including thermal treatment, chemical treatment, ultraviolet irradiation, and biological treatment were evaluated for their ability to degrade the cyanide present in these soils. In the thermal treatment, raising the temperature of the purified waste to 2000--3000C resulted in complete removal of complex cyanide from the soil; however, the cyanide emitted was in a the toxic gaseous HCN form. Chemical treatment, using the oxidant Fenton's reagent in a 10% soil slurry, resulted in the destruction of 80% of the free cyanide but little, if any, complex cyanide. Ultraviolet irradiation of the basic leachate from MGP wastes in the presence of the chelating agent EDTA yielded 90% degradation of the complex cyanide. For biological treatment, using an aerobic mixed culture, almost 60% of the free cyanide disappeared from the system with minimal degradation of the complex cyanide. Each treatment has its limitations. Thus, a combined physical-chemical-biological treatment in which the complex cyanide is degraded to free cyanide by photodegradation under alkaline conditions, the free cyanide then chemically (by Fenton's reagent) or biologically converted to NH3 and CO2, is proposed for the removal of cyanide from MGP sites.

Book excerpt: The work performed in this study is Task 015, 'In Situ Treatment of Manufactured Gas Plant Contaminated Soils Demonstration Program' of U.S. Department of Energy cooperative agreement DE-FC21-93MC30127. The contained recovery of oily waste (CROW(TM)) process removes organic contaminants from the subsurface by adaptation of secondary and heavy oil recovery technology. The technology was successfully tested in the laboratory as part of a project for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SITE Program's Emerging Technology Program. The EPA advanced the CROW process to the SITE Demonstration Program based on the laboratory performance. Additional development of the process has included a pilot test at an active wood treatment facility. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of the CROW process for remediation of a site contaminated primarily with a dense organic fluid. The site selected for this demonstration project was a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
