Short-Term Pilot Test for the Bioslurping Field Initiative at Hickam AFB, Honolulu, Hawaii

Abstract

This report summarizes the field activities conducted at Area H, Hickam Air Force Base (AFB), Hawaii, for a short-term field pilot test that compared vacuum-enhanced free-product recovery (bioslurping) to traditional free-product recovery techniques to remove light, nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) from subsurface soils and aquifers. The field testing at Hickam AFB is part of the Bioslurping Field Initiative, which is funded and managed by the U.S. Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE). The AFCEE Bioslurper Initiative is a multisite program designed to evaluate the efficiency of bioslurping technology for (1) recovery of LNAPL from groundwater and the capillary fringe and (2) enhancing natural in situ biodegradation of petroleum contaminants in the vadose zone via bioventing.
