Bioventing Design Tool (trademark) User's Guide.

摘要

Bioventing is the process of aerating soils to stimulate in situ biological activity and promote bioremediation. Battelle Memorial Institute prepared 'Principles and Practices of Bioventing' (two volumes-AD-A324 114 and AD-A324 111) for guidance to bioventing activities. During the preparation of 'Principles and Practices of Bioventing,' an internally sponsored research and development project has been started at Battelle to build a Bioventing Design Tool (BVDT) to accompany the document. Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program was selected to build the BVDT. The capability of Excel's Visual Basic Applications is the primary reason of this choice. With many existing features and functions of Excel, we were able to construct tables and charts to collect field data and conduct data analyses. Considering the users who have minimal experience with the Excel program, we have built many macros, buttons, menus, charts, and functions to make the BVDT easier to use.
