WDNR GFT Phase 3 Fact Sheet
Following the release of the draft Lower Fox River Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) in February 1999, WDNR received a set of comments from Minergy Corp. (Minergy). Minergy’s comments suggested that a vitrification (melting) technology might be more effective and appropriate for dealing with contaminated sediments than some of the options in the RI/FS. WDNR contacted Minergy as a ...

Minergy GFT Supplemental Sediment
The purpose of the Study is to evaluate the economic and technical feasibility of melting PCB contaminated river sediments in a glass furnace. The Glass Furnace Technology (GFT) was developed by Minergy. Minergy originally developed vitrification technologies to process wastewater sludge into glass aggregate that could be sold as a commercial product. The technology was evaluated during a U.S. ...

Minergy GFT Phase 3 Final Report
The presence of PCBs in the lower Fox River in northeastern Wisconsin has been a concern for many years. Extensiveinvestigations of the river bottom have taken place during the 1980s and 1990s. Two areas of the river have undergonedemonstration dredging in the past five years. While planning the appropriate remedial response to be undertaken, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) ...

Minergy GFT Permitting Feasibility Report
A 39-mile stretch of the Fox River and portions of Green Bay in northeastern Wisconsin (the Fox River site) are contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) laden sediment. The contamination was caused by historical effluent discharges from paper mills manufacturing and/or recycling carbonless paper that utilized dyes dissolved in PCBs. PCBs are the primary contaminant of concern; however ...

A Citizen`s Guide to Innovative Treatment Technologies
What are innovative treatment technologies? Treatment technologies are chemical, biological, or physical processes applied to hazardous waste or contaminated materials to permanently change their condition. This Citizen’s Guide focuses on treatment technologies for soil, sludge, sediment, and debris. Treatment technologies destroy contaminants or change them so that they are no longer hazardous ...
