The Program is administered by the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD). The purpose of the SITE Program is to accelerate the development and use of innovative cleanup technologies applicable to Superfund and other hazardous waste sites. This purpose is accomplished through technology demonstrations designed to provide performance and cost data on selected technologies. This project consisted of a demonstration conducted under the SITE Program to evaluate the Disc Tube™ Module technology developed by Rochem Separation Systems, Inc. The technology is an innovative membrane separation process which utilizes commercially available membrane materials to treat difficult fluids ranging from seawater to organic solvents. This Demonstration was conducted on hazardous landfill leachate at the Central Landfill in Johnston, Rhode Island. This Innovative Technology Evaluation Report presents an interpretation of the performance and cost data gathered during the Demonstration and discusses the potential applicability of the technology.
