Air stripping and liquid-phase activated carbon adsorption systems are two of the most commonly implemented water treatment technologies for removing dissolved gasoline components from groundwater. This study was undertaken to compile cost and treatment effectiveness data from installed and operating remediation systems throughout representative regions of the United States. The fuel components of particular interest including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) as well as the oxygenates methyl=tertiary-butyl-ether (MTBE) and isopropyl ether (IPE).
Relevant data were collected and analyzed from 57 anonymous remediation sites under the supervision of Groundwater Technology, Inc (GTI). Selected site visits were conducted in order to verify engineering descriptions and to gather influent and effluent water quality samples. Water quality and cost data were used to document actual treatment effectiveness and capital and operating/maintenance costs in comparison to design parameters.
Pertinent summary data are presented and discussed in the brief narrative section of this report. All relevant site-specific data and a variety of tubular summaries are provided in the various appendices.
