Description:

For the past several years, an extensive investigation has been conducted into the feasibility of using nitrate as an alternate electron acceptor for stimulating anaerobic biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons for in situ bioremediation of contaminated aquifers. This has involved both field and laboratory studies and has focued on three separate sites: 1) Traverse City, MI, 2) Park City, KS, and 3) Eglin AFB, FL. In all cases corresponding batch (and sometimes column) microcosms studies have been conducted to better define the controlling parameters, practical limits, and relative contributions of competing processes. This research focus has been completed. For the most significant results of this research, relevant publications,and framework for assessing how to best incorporate this technology into future bioremediation efforts, visit the website at http://www.epa.gov/ada/research/bioremed.html.
