Abstract
An evaluation of data detailing in situ air sparging (IAS) systems at 59 sites has been assembled into an American Petroleum Institute in situ Air Sparging Database (API‐IAS Database). The database was developed to provide site managers insights concerning the state‐of‐the‐art of IAS system design, operation, and evaluation. The IAS radius of influence (ROI) is often evaluated based on changes in a number of physical, chemical, or biological monitoring parameters. Measurements of groundwater dissolved oxygen levels was the technique used most often to determine the ROI. Other parameters such as pressure changes in the vadose and saturated zones, groundwater mounding, air bubbling in wells and tracer gases were also used to aid in the determination of the IAS ROI. A review of 37 pilot studies revealed that the IAS ROI is generally between 10 to 26 ft. IAS technology is generally being applied in sandy soils. The application of IAS technology was deemed infeasible at seven sites where soils contained high l...
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
