Description:

Bioventilation is a procedure to cleanse soil gas of volatile hydrocarbons originating from storage tank leaks. he rate of vapor degradation is a controlling parameter in the design of a bioventing system. aboratory microcosm procedure using sandy soil from an aviation gasoline spill site was used to measure relative kinetics of some fuel vapors.
