Book Description
This handbook gives the reader the knowledge and tools to efficiently select, design, construct, operate, maintain, and close out a biopile system. As an added feature, the Biopile Cost Estimator software, included in each handbook, enables easy estimation of capital, operating, and unit treatment costs. This software gives the user the flexibility to use default values or to input site-specific design variables, such as capacity, labor rates, analytical costs, and expected project life. The book starts with a general biopile technology overview and continues with detailed descriptions of selection criteria, regulatory issues, design parameters, and construction procedures. Appendices include ready-to-use calculation sheets with completed problem checklists and data sheets, a general health and safety plan, and a troubleshooting guide.
