vacuum extraction can be used. The BCHP technology provides a lower cost alternative to carbon canisters, which must be shipped to a regenerating facility or disposed of as hazardous waste.

Accomplishments

This technology was field tested at the Savannah River Site and successfully recovered solvents from the offgas generated by the vacuum extraction process. Before this process can be used in a long-term application, a use or user for the recovered solvents must be identified. For the test application the solvents will be disposed of after testing.

Collaboration/Technology Transfer

The BCHP technology is being developed in collaboration with NUCON International, Inc. Numerous other companies have indica-ted interest in the BCHP technology.
