In 2001, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency conducted a performance study called
"Field Measurement Technologies for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in
Soil" by evaluating Sitelab and six other manufacturers through the
Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program. The
project was directed by the Office of Research and Development's
National Exposure Research Laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tetra Tech EMI, from Chicago, Illinois, was contracted to manage the
project.
During the final field demonstration, Sitelab tested over 200
samples using our UVF-3100A analyzer for both Gasoline Range
Organics, Extended Diesel Range Organics and Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons (TPH as combined GRO and EDRO). Sitelab was the
only developer who performed and reported TPH as well as GRO and
EDRO separately, just like the reference laboratory.
Samples consisted of Performance Evaluation spiked soils, liquid
interference samples and a variety of environmental samples from
five different contaminated sites located throughout the United
States. All samples were split and sent to a certified
laboratory for confirmatory analysis using EPA Method 8015M.
