Research Study on Horizontal Well Drilling and in-Situ Remediation: Final Program Plan.

摘要

Vacuum extraction and air-stripping are new technologies that have broad applications at sites of volatile organic contaminated soils and groundwater. These types of sites are very common across the United States. A research study to test the combined effect of both technologies in an in-situ setting is planned. Vacuum extraction has been demonstrated as an effective technique to remediate the vadose zone both at SRP and at numerous sites across the country. Air stripping has also been demonstrated as an effective technique in an above-ground setting at SRP and across the country. However, to our knowledge it has not been tested as an in-situ method. The proposed research is on the leading edge of groundwater/vadose zone remediation technology and has great potential to impact available technology in this field. 3 refs., 13 figs., 1 tab.
