Principles and Practices of Bioventing. Volume I: Bioventing Principles

摘要

Bioventing is the process of aerating soils to stimulate in situ biologicalactivity and promote bioremediation. Through the efforts of the U.S. Air Force Bioventing initiative and the U.S. EPA Bioremediation Field initiative, bioventing has been implemented at more than 150 sites and has emerged as one of the most cost-effective and efficient technologies currently available for vadose zone remediation of petroleum-contaminated sites. This document is a culmination of the experience gained from these sites and provides specific guidelines on the principles and practices of bioventing.
