Site-Specific Test Plan for Free-Product Recovery Testing at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi

Abstract

The AFCEE/ERT is conducting a multi-site initiative to develop more effective methods of determining the feasibility of light, nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) free-product recovery as well as the best method of recovery. The technologies tested in the Bioslurper Initiative are skimming, vacuum-enhanced free-product recovery/ bioremediation (bioslurping), and drawdown pumping. The field test and evaluation are intended to demonstrate the initial feasibility of each technology by measuring system performance in the field. System performance parameters, mainly free-product recovery, will be determined at numerous sites. Field testing will be performed at many sites to determine the effects of different organic contaminant types and concentrations and different geological conditions on free-product recovery effectiveness.
