Title of Contract, Award, or Gift: Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) Rehabilitation Emissions Study
Name of Granting or Contracting Agency/Entity:
The Water Research Foundation
Program Title: none
Note:
(SAM Category 1.1.1.) Cure-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) technologies have been developed to solve many challenges associated with the renewal of degraded water and sewer pipelines. As the technologies have evolved, different materials of construction and curing approaches have been developed, for functional reasons but also to address potential releases and exposures to potentially toxic chemicals associated with the process. The overall objective of this research is to develop a critical baseline and comparative dataset for evaluating air emissions and discharges associated with most widely used (CIPP) technologies (4 lining materials and 3 curing methods), to understand if the technologies are potentially impactful to worker or publichealth. This research will be conducted to add data for understanding how air emissions change with distance from a CIPP construction site which has been found to be outside of the scope of previous studies, as those studies were generally focused on air emissions very near the application of the CIPP. We aim to simulate the public’s exposure at various distances from the different CIPP construction technologies based on a comprehensive analysis of process emissions and dispersion modeling.
