Abstract
A Comparison of Popular Remedial Technologies for Petroleum Contaminated Soils from Leaking Underground Storage Tanks
Highlights
A summary of remediation technologies discussed in this paper is summarized in the table below
When comparing the various technologies, landfill disposal of petroleum product contaminated soil ($11 yd3) is more cost effective than other alternatives such as bioremediation ($42 yd3) and in-situ volatilization ($40 yd3)
Summary
A Comparison of Popular Remedial Technologies for Petroleum Contaminated Soils from Leaking Underground Storage Tanks. Today’s remediation of contaminated soils is as diverse as the types of contaminants and the site conditions. Some of the most widely implemented types of remediation for petroleum products include: Land farming, Excavation, Bioremediation, and Volatilization. Issues discussed will be a process description of each technology, the environmental effectiveness, and total cost of the technology, generally, as each applies to petroleum product impacted soils. O Site conditions such as types of soils, topography, depth to groundwater, impacted versus non-impacted ground water, and population. O In situ treatment of petroleum product impacted soils vs ex-situ removal. Depending upon the types of compounds that are present and site conditions, in-situ volatilization can be a very effective, cost efficient remedial action
