| Short description: |
Emulsified edible oils have been used to
stimulate in situ anaerobic biodegradation of groundwater
contaminants at commercial, industrial and military sites
throughout the US. The procedures and applications of emulsified
oils for the anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated solvents are
applicable to numerous other anaerobically biodegradable
contaminants like nitrates, perchlorates, and energetics (e.g., RDX,
TNT). The protocol presented in this document is intended to assist
base managers and project engineers in: (1) determining if the
emulsified oil process is appropriate for their site; and (2)
designing and implementing this technology. This protocol also
provides background information on the development and
scientific basis of this technology (June 2006, 100 pages).
