The benefits of bioventing

Journal Article · · Pollution Engineering
OSTI ID:287548

Bioventing, a variation of soil vapor extraction (SVE), has been used in recent years as an in-situ soil remediation method. SVE is applicable to the remediation of soils contaminated by solvents, gasoline and other relatively high vapor pressure compounds that can be volatilized to subsurface soil gas. Bioventing adapts SVE to treat relatively non-volatile materials, such as diesel fuel oil. Bioventing also is useful for reducing the cost of air pollution abatement for in-situ treatment of biodegradable volatile materials, such as gasoline and non-halogenated solvents.
