The bioenhanced in-well vapor stripping (BEHIVS) system involved two innovative technologies in combination, cometabolic bioremediation and in-well vapor stripping, for treatment of a source of trichloroethene (TCE) contamination in groundwater. This system concept evolved from former demonstrations of each technology alone at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB). A realization of the potential of using these two technologies in combination to treat a high-concentration source of TCE arose from the successful ...
This project is focussed on remediating the source area of trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated groundwater. TCE is the most commonly detected groundwater contaminant at DoD and Superfund sites. Low-cost alternatives for treating the source of TCE-contamination are needed, preferably ones not requiring the removal of contaminated water from the subsurface. The overall project objective is to demonstrate the potential of combining two innovative, recently demonstrated, remediation technologies, in-well vapor stripping (IWVS) and ...
