Multiple Co-Substrates for Biostimulation of TCE Degradation

Abstract

The objective of this Phase II SBIR project was to test and demonstrate the feasibility of using multiple co-substrates to stimulate in situ biodegradation of volatile organochloride compounds (VOCs) including trichloroethylene (TCE), cis- 1,2 dichloroethylene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC). The project also evaluated the use of novel substrate delivery and groundwater capture systems for use during in situ biostimulation applications with gaseous cosubstrates. The work involved a field-scale demonstration of propane and oxygen injection to stimulate microbial degradation of VOCs in an aquifer underlying the Lakehurst, NJ Naval Air Engineering Station (NAES).
