Biodegradation of Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPL) Through Bioaugmentation of Source Areas - Dover National Test Site, Dover, Delaware
Abstract
The objective of the demonstration described herein was to evaluate the performance of bioaugmentation at field scale to enhance rates of biodegradation at the DNAPL: water interface, thereby increasing the concentration gradient driving DNAPL dissolution. This demonstration used PCE as the primary DNAPL in a porous media groundwater system and consisted of field and laboratory investigations. The combination of these investigations was to determine if bioaugmentation can stimulate complete dechlorination to nontoxic end products, as well as increase the mass flux from a source zone when biological dehalorespiration activity is enhanced through nutrient addition and or bioaugmentation.
