Natural Pressure-Driven Passive Bioventing

Abstract

The environmental problem being addressed by this technology demonstration of passive bioventing is contaminated vadose-zone soils. This technology addresses contaminants that are aerobically biodegradable, such as petroleum-hydrocarbons and many lesser-chlorinated hydrocarbons. Natural pressure-driven passive bioventing is not a new technology for addressing this environmental problem, but rather a new approach to conventional bioventing. Conventional bioventing is a proven, cost-effective remedial technology which has been applied at numerous Department of Defense (DoD) installations in the United States and worldwide.
