In Situ Thermal Treatment of Chlorinated Solvents: Fundamentals and Field Applications

This report contains information about the use of in situ thermal treatment technologies to treat chlorinated solvents in source zones containing free-phase contamination or high concentrations of contaminants that are either sorbed to soil or dissolved in groundwater in the saturated or unsaturated zone. The information in this report may be helpful to site managers, site owners, treatment technology vendors, regulators, consulting firms, and the public who may be involved in the cleanup of sites contaminated with chlorinated solvents.

Also available is the In Situ Thermal Treatment Site Profile Database Exitwhich contains searchable site profiles for sites where the technology has been used.
