Data were collected at four U.S. Navy and Marine Corps bases to evaluate bioventing technology efficacy in removing low-volatility fuels from subsurface soils and the groundwater table. These sites have soil contamination attributed to spills or leaks of fuels having low vapor pressures and very low water solubilities, such as JP-5 jet fuel, diesel fuel, #6 fuel oil (bunker fuel), waste oil, and lubricants. The ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of surfactant-enhanced biodegradation of JP-5 in soil from Patuxent Naval Air Test Center (NATC) under simulated conditions of soil venting. Surfactants and emulsifiers were screened for microbial toxicity and for their capacity to solubilize jet fuel from soil. Three surfactants were subsequently evaluated in 60-day flask aerobic biodegradation experiments. One surfactant was tested in soil columns under simulated soil venting ...
