Abstract
AbstractIn mid‐1992, Geraghty & Miller, Inc. and Heidemij Realistie of The Netherlands incorporated the joint venture of Alternative Remedial Technologies, Inc. (ART) to implement soil washing projects in the United States. The venture was based upon Heidemij's successful commercial soil washing operations in The Netherlands over the past decade. The first project contracted under this arrangement was the King of Prussia (KOP) Technical Corporation Superfund site, located in Camden County, New Jersey. This paper presents the details of activities at this site and operation of the full‐scale soil washing facility. At the KOP site approximately 20,000 tons (20,320 metric) of soil contaminated with copper, chromium and nickel were remediated. The KOP plant is rated at 25 (25.4 metric) tons per hour (tph) and is configured in a way that allows flexible treatment capabilities for sites with metals, polynuclear aromatics, pesticides, and radioactive contamination.
