Description:
The results from bioventing research and development efforts and from the pilot-scale bioventing systems have been used to produce this two-volume manual. Although this design manual has been written based on extensive experience with petroleum hydrocarbons (and thus, many examples use this contaminant), the concepts here should be applicable to any aerobically biodegradable compound. The manual provides details on bioventing principles; site characterization; field treatability studies; system design, installation, and operation; process monitoring; and site closure. This second volume focuses on bioventing design and process monitoring. The first volume describes basic principles of bioventing.
