This new work describes the state-of-the-art of remedial technologies for petroleum contaminated soils and impacted ground water-13 feasible methods and their basic elements, along with discussion of the factors to consider when selecting the method(s) to use-and their implementation. It presents a thorough description and evaluation of each available technology for remediating soil and groundwater containing petroleum products released by underground storage tank leaks and spills. State remedial action practices are discussed.

This paper presents a methodology for evaluating site conditions and for screening various remediation technologies that may be applicable to cleaning up releases of petroleum products from underground storage tanks (UST). The methodology enables the user to develop a conceptual understanding of site conditions before the completion of extensive field studies, define remediation goals, evaluate technologies capable of meeting remediation goals, and identify monitoring requirements during and after remediation.

A guide to the entire process of installing and managing underground storage tanks, with a focus on preventing leaks, and what to do if a leak occurs.

This new book presents state-of-the-art for treating groundwater contaminated with Petroleum Hydrocarbons, based on CDM's vast experience in treating contaminated groundwater using air stripping, GAC and biorestoration. Design issues and pitfalls to avoid when implementing treatment technologies are explained. Capital costs, operation and maintenance costs, unit costs are presented. Groundwater Remediation and Petroleum is the most comprehensive examination of these technologies and the implications of recent UST regulations. It provides hands-on information in the form of detailed step-by-step design procedures and case studies.

Steel tanks have been used for underground storage of petroleum products and derivatives for about 30 years. The oldest tanks have now exceeded their design life and product leaks related to corrosion problems are increasing. The length of the tank's life is one of several factors which could result in a petroleum product leak, which can contaminate soil and water in the immediate surroundings. This report summarizes the different recovery and treatment techniques applicable to hydrocarbon contaminated soil and water due to tank leaks. Detection and prevention are briefly discussed and some examples of available equipment are given.
