Abstract
The operation and performance of an iSOC ™ (in situ Submerged Oxygen Curtain) groundwater bioremediation system were evaluated over a period of twenty -one months at a low-permeability Colorado gasoline release site. The iSOC™ system was initially evaluated with a pilot study and then selected to replace a failing air -sparging system. The iSOC™ system was designed to enhance natural attenuation and control a hot spot of benzene and MTBE contamination in groundwater. The results demonstrate that the system has been successful in achieving significant reductions in benzene and MTBE concentrations and has substantially reduced the size of the contaminant hot spot.
