In situ Steam Enhanced Recovery Process, Hughes Environmental Systems, Inc.Innovative Technology Evaluation Report

摘要

This Innovative Technology Evaluation report summarizes the findings of anevaluation of the in situ Steam Enhanced Recovery Process (SERP) operated by Hughes Environmental Systems, Inc. at the Rainbow Disposal facility in Huntington Beach, California. The technology demonstration was conducted concurrent with a full-scale remedial action using the technology on an underground diesel leak. From this demonstration, it was concluded that the SERP process did not achieve the remedial goals desired at this site and there were significant operational problems. It is believed that these operational problems can be solved and substantially better performance can be attained. The cost of treatment was quite low, as expected with an in-situ process.
