Trichloroethylene Treatment via In-Situ Microbial and Chemical Oxidation Technologies - A Field Study

The main objective of this proposed work is to identify and compare the effectiveness, both technological and economical, of two chemical oxidation technologies and a bioremediation scheme for TCE remediation using "side by side" in-situ treatment zones atTinker Air Force Base. Surbec's work will emphasize the importance of side-by side comparisons for technology selection. While some aspects of our proposal can be considered novel, our goal is to address the shortcomings that have previously beenidentified for chemical oxidation and microbial technologies for chlorinated solvent remediation in an effort to identify an effective method for TCE cleanup at Tinker Air Force Base. The results gathered from this work will be useful for evaluatingclean-up options in many areas of Tinker Air Force Base and other military installations. Our overall goal is to assist Tinker Air Force Base in identifying technologies for source zone and dilute plume remediation.
