Features

Fully revised throughout, and will incorporate updated information from the primary author's books on remediation engineering.
Examines technologies with a focus on combining the multitude of technical disciplines behind each remediation technology.
Describes the most innovative and cutting-edge applications of remediation technologies with real-life case studies.
Provides realistic cost-benefit analyses within the changing regulatory framework.
Covers remediation technologies of the past and present in great detail, and speculates on the future.

Summary
Remediation engineering has evolved and advanced from the stage of being a sub-discipline of environmental engineering into its own engineering discipline supporting the growth of a global industry. This fully-updated second edition will capture the fundamental advancements that have taken place during the last two decades, within the sub-disciplines that form the foundation of the remediation engineering platform. The book will cover the entire spectrum of current technologies that are being employed in this industry, and will also touch on future trends and how practitioners should anticipate and adapt to those needs.

Reviews

"This 2nd edition of Remediation Engineering will continue to be the seminal handbook that regulators must have on-hand to address any of the remediation issues they are grappling with daily. The book is wide-ranging, but specific enough to address any environmental remediation challenge."
—Patricia Reyes, Interstate Technology Regulatory Council, Washington, D.C., USA

"This book offers the researcher, teacher, practitioner, student and regulator with state-of-the-art advances in conducting site investigations and remediation for common and emerging contaminants. It is revolutionary in its approach to conducting subsurface investigation, which greatly influences a successful and appropriate response in assessing and addressing environmental risk. This book is a giant leap forward in understanding how contaminates behave and how to reduce risk to acceptable levels in the natural world."
—Daniel T. Rogers, Amsted Industries Incorporated, Chicago, Illinois, USA

"This text is a superb reference AND a good tool for learning about state of the art techniques in remediation of soil and groundwater. Excellent explanations of some complex topics. This text will become a ready reference at many companies as the engineering community creates increased value from remediation efforts around the world."
—John Waites, AVX Corporation, Fountain Inn, South Carolina, USA
