Summary

Principles and Practices of Bioslurping presents an overview of bioslurping compared to other conventional remediation technologies and documents procedures for designing and implementing bioslurping at petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated sites with free product. The book is based on free-product recovery research and development efforts by Battelle, and sponsored by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and others. Principles and Practices of Bioslurping provides details on free-product recovery principles; site characterization; pilot tests; system design, installation and operation; process monitoring; and site closure. The book describes basic principles of free-product recovery and focuses on bioslurping design and process monitoring. Principles and Practices of Bioslurping is intended for use by environmental contractors or site personnel responsible for funding, performing, or managing projects to remediate sites contaminated with LNAPL. Primary users are expected to be remedial project managers, their support contractors and similar technical personnel. The boo
