In Situ Remediation of Low-Volatility Fuels Using Bioventing Technology

Abstract

Data were collected at four U.S. Navy and Marine Corps bases to evaluate bioventing technology efficacy in removing low-volatility fuels from subsurface soils and the groundwater table. These sites have soil contamination attributed to spills or leaks of fuels having low vapor pressures and very low water solubilities, such as JP-5 jet fuel, diesel fuel, #6 fuel oil (bunker fuel), waste oil, and lubricants. The major contaminant studied is JP-5 jet fuel, a kerosene distillate fraction similar to commercial jet fuel A.
