Course description
In In-Situ Groundwater Bioremediation, you'll learn ...
- What is in-situ groundwater bioremediation and how does it work
- Advantages and disadvantages of in-situ groundwater bioremediation
- Site characteristics and constituent characteristics that influence the potential effectiveness of in-situ groundwater bioremediation
- How to quickly assess whether in-situ groundwater bioremediation will likely be effective at a particular site
Overview
Credit: 3 PDH
Length: 39 pages
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed nearly 3,000 new releases from underground storage tanks (USTs) during fiscal year 2010, bringing the cumulative total to 491,572 releases since 1984. Although progress has been made in cleaning these sites, over 96,000 of them still require remedial action. These UST leaks pose a grave threat to human health and the environment by contaminating groundwater and soil.
This course provides an overview of in-situ groundwater bioremediation, which can effectively degrade organic constituents that are dissolved in groundwater. The course is intended for engineers who wish to expand their knowledge of alternative methods of groundwater treatment.
