Abstract

The application of thermal-enhancement techniques to bioventing with soil warming at a Fairbanks, Alaska site is presented. The actively warmed test plot was successfully heated year-round to prevent soil freezing and to enhance microbial activity. Soil gas, microbiological, and geochemical sampling data evidenced correlation between increased bioactivity and soil warming. The biodegradation within both passively treated and untreated contaminated test plots was noticeably slower than within the actively-warmed plot. The thermally-enhanced bioventing successfully remediated hydrocarbon contamination in vadose zone soils at a subarctic site within two years.
