| Description/ Abstract |
This study reports on an evaluation of a proposed new technology for remediating existing groundwater contamination. Two tasks are undertaken in this report. The first is a conventional cost-effectiveness analysis of the new technology versus existing technologies. In this evaluation several issues are addressed such as the choice of the metric used in the cost-effectiveness analysis, the time period of the evaluation, the appropriate discount rate, and the assumptions used for extrapolation of the field data. The second task is the extension of the conventional cost-effectiveness analysis to incorporate a decision analysis framework. This extension revolves many issues raised in conducting cost-effectiveness analysis of complex technologies. It allows inclusion of physical modeling, in this case groundwater modeling, to augment the limited field data and to analyzed different implementations of the technology. This study evaluates the performance of the new technology, in situ air stripping (ISAS), as compared with a conventional technology that involves the joint use of pump and treat with soil vapor extraction (PT-SVE) using vertical wells. |
