Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The most exciting technical area in the remediation field yesterday is 'in place' or 'in situ' technologies. This new book in the popular Geraghty & Miller series provides a single reference source, consolidating information on the various in situ technologies. Each of the primary areas is covered in a separate chapter, allowing for in-depth reviews, including laboratory and pilot plant studies, full-scale design, operation and maintenance, cost analysis, and case histories. Expert accounts are also given emerging in situ technologies. One of the unique features of this new book is its excellent coverage of the geologic foundation and limitations of each of the technologies. Material at the beginning of the book explains the limitations of pump and treatment remediation, and shows how some of these limitations may also apply to in situ technologies. This section provides the reader with a basis on which to analyze and predict the possible sucess of any new in situ methods that are developed in the future.

Rated by buyers -
This book does a good job of discussing why groundwater extraction (pump and treat or whatever else you want to call it) is not useful for cleanup of petroleum contaminated sites, rendering it best suited for hydraulic control of plumes.
The author also has a pretty good discusion regarding lifecycle design considerations and the various steps to go through/questions to ask with regard to effluent treatment and equipment sizing.
Some of the technology descriptions appears to be taken from design of remediation systems by suthersan, but both books were published by the same company so i guess that shouldn't really be a surprise. Both books offer different perspectives, so I find them both to be pretty useful, however, I like this one a little more because the author seems to be more of a practical guy whereas suthersan is more theoretical.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the design and correct application of remediation technologies.
