Title: Environmental technology demonstrations at US DOE facilities: Observations regarding the current process and methods for improvement
Abstract: Technology demonstrations to evaluate innovative processes prior to full-scale implementation is an important element in the overall US Department of Energy (DOE) strategy for the remediation of contaminated sites and/or the treatment of wastes. These demonstrations provide the opportunity to evaluate and compare multiple technologies on a side-by-side basis in order to choose the process that meets the treatment goals most effectively and economically. Technology demonstrations performed at DOE sites entail working under a unique set of constraints that are not typically encountered in the private sector. Not only do the contractors have to meet all applicable federal, state, and local requirements, but also they have the additional constraints of meeting all DOE Orders and specific and sometimes unique site requirements and interfaces. This paper will discuss the past demonstration experience of the authors and provide insight on how researchers and contractors may conduct demonstrations at a DOE facility.
