Test Plan and Technical Protocol for a Field Treatability Test for POL FreeProduct Recovery. Evaluating the Feasibility of Traditional and Bioslurping Technologies. Revision 2

摘要

This Test Plan and Technical Protocol has been written to describe the activitiesto be conducted as part of the Bioslurper initiative and the methods for conducting a field treatability test for bioslurping. The objective of this study is to develop procedures for evaluating the potential for recovering free-phase light, nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) present at petroleum-contaminated sites. The test methods to be employed include initial evaluation of site variables followed by conduct of a bioslurper LNAPL recovery test. The intent of the field testing is to determine the predictability of LNAPL recovery efficiency, and to evaluate the applicability, cost, and performance of the bioslurping technology for removal of free product and remediation of the contaminated site.
