Abstract

Continuous flow through systems have been used to study the evolution of hydrocarbons in marine sediments by varying the dissolved oxygen concentrations in the overlaying water. The hydrocarbon degradation markedly occurred in superficial sediment (0–1 cm) where the oxygen concentration was 8 ppm, whereas such degradation was slower but detectable in the system incorporating 2–3 ppm. Under anaerobic conditions no degradation was detected.
