Lockheed Martin Site Remediation Foster Wheeler Environmental contracted Maxymillian Technologies (MT) to remediate 21,342 tons of VOC and PCB contaminated soil with a transportable Indirect Thermal Desorption System (IDS). MT also used the transportable Series III Water Treatment System to treat resultant liquid waste streams. The Lockheed site was contaminated with oils, solvents, and metal finishing wastes during site operations occurring from 1959 to 1980. After receiving the Notice to Proceed on August 28, 1998, MT took only 15 calendar days to assemble the IDS, perform clean and contaminated shakedown, and complete the Proof of Performance Test (POP). After Treated soil and emissions measurements (shown in the following table) surpassed all site treatment standards and requirements of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Air Permit for the IDS. The emissions limits were especially stringent because they were added to existing emissions of the Lockheed Martin facility that required the entire facility to stay within their permit as a synthetic minor source. The on-line factor of the IDS during the Lockheed project was 90% and the average feed-rate was 14 tons per hour. MT completed extensive soil operations in only 5 months time.
