1 Screening techniq ques and results for evaluation of beneficial reuse options for therm mally treated soil ATRICK TYCZYNSKI, JOHN CANDLER - M-I SWACO, A SCHLUMBERGER COMPA ENE BERNIER PHD - CHEVRON ENERGY TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
2 Beneficial Reuse Opportunities Challenges Reduce the cost Reduce resource consumption Improve overall environmental performance Enhance community relationships Prevent environmental or human health imp Technical Regulatory Testing tools and targets Finding a market for reuse
3 Thermally Treated Soil Opportunities for Beneficial Reuse hermally Treated Soil Use of recovered soil as construction aggregate Energy recovery Use of solids as a soil or soil enhancer Use for wetland restoration
4 Thermally Treated Soil Screening Technique Development and Targets Targets Design parameters: 1. Maximum discriminatory power 2. Maximum repeatability of results 3. Practicality of implementation 4. Ranking of known test substances as expected 5. Ecological relevance 6. Government acceptance of the protocols Development Development procedures: 1. Identify all of the available tests 2. Experimentally modify the tests 3. Conduct screening tests to identify the strengths and we 4. Select top contenders and further develop protocols 5. Select a top contender and propose the method 6. Validate the test methodology 7. Implement the test method in the field
5 Phase I repare thermally treated soil Collect simulated native soil based on anticipated field conditions Place soil into stainless steel pans Heat soil to 500 C for 1 hour in large oven Leave soil in oven overnight to cool to room temperature Remove soil and place into sealed 5 gallon containers
6 Phase II Screening tests for amendments and testing procedures Peas, Soybeans, Alfalfa Simulated Native Soil, Treated Soil, Treated Soil Mix 10+ additional amendments Various concentrations

30 Conclusions Use of the modified EPA protocol and Peas, as a Screening tool demonstrates some repeatability and discriminatory power. Additional development of the modified EPA test as a screening tool is recommended. The results from Phase III indicate no significant difference in the performance of native soil and thermally treated soil.
