Abstract
Engineered microbubble systems with ozone have proven to be a powerful means of targeting and effectively eliminating petroleum spill products from ground water, particularly the gasoline additive MTBE (Kerfoot, 2000; Kerfoot and McGrath, 2001). The primary reaction involves a low molar ratio of ozone to MTBE to decompose the contaminant molecule (Karpel vel Leitner et al., 1994). For field applications, a site in Lincoln, California, is presented with mass oxidation demand and equations for attenuation of MTBE, ETBE, BTEX, and naphthalene. Under field conditions of ozone injection, TBA and TAME also exhibit rapid degradation.
