Bioventing and Vapor Extraction are two technologies which are finding increasing use in performing soil cleanup at hazardous and nonhazardous waste sites. Both processes are characterized by the controlled use of air as a carrier to either remove contaminants from soil or to supply oxygen for aerobic bioremediation of the compounds in the unsaturated zone into less toxic materials. These topics are the focus of a unique Bioventing Satellite Seminar broadcast on April 15, 1992. The seminar, a joint venture between the Air and Waste Management Association (A and WMA) and the Hazardous Waste Action Coalition (HWAC), is the second in a series of satellite seminars that will deal with innovative hazardous waste remediation technologies.
