Abstract
An integrated soil vacuum extraction/ biofiltration system has been designed and installed at a gasoline‐contaminated leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site in southern Delaware. The system remediates contaminated moisture entrained in the air stream, employs automatic water level controls in the filters, and achieves maximum vapor extraction and VOC destruction efficiency with an optimum power input. In addition, the valving and piping layout allows the sequence of air flow through the filters to be reversed at given time intervals, which minimizes biofouling, thereby increasing efficiency by decreasing system backpressure. This integrated system achieves VOC destruction rates of up to 69%. The modular design allows for easy mobilization, setup, and demobilization at LUST sites throughout Delaware.
期刊介绍：
When it comes to assessing and mitigating contaminated soils and sediments, there is no substitute for having the very latest tools, techniques and methodologies at your fingertips to help you deal with these issues efficiently and cost-effectively.
This is just the kind of essential expertise you’ll only find in Soil and Sediment Contamination . This internationally, peer-reviewed publication focuses on soil and sediment contamination from:
-Sludges-
Petroleum-
Petrochemicals-
Chlorinated hydrocarbons-
Pesticides-
Lead and other heavy metals.
Get detailed descriptions of all the latest and most efficient offsite and in situ remediation techniques, strategies for assessing health effects and hazards, and tips for dealing with everyday regulatory and legal issues. With the state-of-the-art tools that Soil and Sediment Contamination provides, you can successfully assess, mitigate, and solve both rural and urban soil contamination problems as efficiently and economically as possible.
