Surfactant-Enhanced Aquifer Remediation (SEAR) Implementation Manual

Abstract

The objective of this implementation manual is to familiarize remedial project managers and engineers and scientists affiliated with environmental remediation projects on the major tasks and planning parameters involved with implementing an in-situ surfactant flood or surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) project to remove dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). A companion technical manual has been produced on SEAR design focusing on removal of DNAPLs. It is hoped that in combination, the guiding principles presented in these two manuals will assist users in understanding basic design and implementation issues for attaining remedial objectives and in following risk management methodologies and approaches for avoiding misapplication of surfactant flooding for DNAPL removal. cost effective surfactant flooding performance demands recognition of the chemical flooding process, system specifications, and design and operational limitations, in order to secure the appropriate level of services and performance for the site.
