Technology Code
Description of Technology-Based
								Standard
ADGAS
Venting of compressed gases into an absorbing or
								reacting media (i.e., solid or liquid) - venting can be accomplished through
								physical release utilizing valves or piping; physical penetration of the
								container; or penetration through detonation.
AMLGM
Amalgamation of liquid, elemental mercury
								contaminated with radioactive materials utilizing inorganic reagents such as
								copper, zinc, nickel, gold, and sulfur that result in a nonliquid, semi-solid
								amalgam and thereby reducing potential emissions of elemental mercury vapors to
								the air.
BIODG
Biodegradation of organics or non-metallic
								inorganics (i.e., degradable inorganics that contain the elements of
								phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur) in units operated under either aerobic or
								anaerobic conditions such that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has
								been substan-tially reduced in concentration in the residuals (e.g., total
								organic carbon (TOC) can often be used as an indicator parameter for the
								biodegradation of many organic constituents that cannot be directly analyzed in
								wastewater residues).
CARBN
Carbon adsorption (granulated or powdered) of
								non-metallic inorganics, organo-metallics, or organic constituents, operated so
								that a surrogate compound or indicator parameter has not undergone breakthrough
								(e.g., total organic carbon (TOC) can often be used as an indicator parameter
								for the adsorption of many organic constituents that cannot be directly
								analyzed in wastewater residues). Breakthrough occurs when the carbon has
								become saturated with the constituent (or indicator parameter) and substantial
								change in adsorption rate associated with that constituent occurs.
CHOXD
Chemical or electrolytic oxidation utilizing the
								following oxidation reagents (or waste reagents) or combinations or
								reagents:
1) hypochlorite (e.g., bleach);
2) chlorine;
3) chlorine dioxide;

								ozone;
5) peroxides;
6) persulfates;
7) perchlorates;
8) permanganates; or
9) other oxidizing reagents of equivalent
								efficiency, performed in units operated so that a surrogate compound or
								indicator parameter has been substantially reduced in concentration in the
								residuals (e.g., total organic carbon (TOC) can often be used as an indicator
								parameter for the oxidation of many organic constituents that cannot be
								directly analyzed in wastewater residues). Chemical oxidation specifically
								includes what is commonly referred to as alkaline chlorination.
CHRED
Chemical reduction utilizing the following reducing
								reagents (or waste reagents) or combinations of reagents:
1) sulfur dioxide;
2) sodium, potassium, or alkali salts of sulfites,
								bisulfites, metabisulfites, and polyethylene glycols (e.g., NaPEG and
								KPEG);
3) sodium hydrosulfide;
4) ferrous salts; or
5) other reducing reagents of equivalent
								efficiency, performed in units operated such that a surrogate compound or
								indicator parameter has been substantially reduced in concentration in the
								residuals (e.g., total organic halogens (TOX) can often be used as an indicator
								parameter for the reduction of many halogenated organic constituents that
								cannot be directly analyzed in wastewater residues). Chemical reduction is
								commonly used for the reduction of hexavalent chromium to the trivalent
								state.

Liquid-liquid extraction (often referred to as
								solvent extraction) of organics from liquid wastes into an immiscible solvent
								for which the hazardous constituents have a greater solvent affinity, resulting

When a combination of these technologies (i.e., a
								treatment train) is specified as a single treatment standard, the order of
								application is specified in Table T by indicating the five letter technology
								code that must be applied first, then the designation "fb." (an abbreviation

When more than one technology (or treatment train)
								are specified as alternative treatment standards, the five letter technology
								codes (or the treatment trains) are separated by a semicolon (;) with the last
								technology preceded by the word "OR". This indicates that any one of these BDAT
								technologies or treatment trains can be used for compliance with the
								standard.
