Biologically enhanced removal of PCE from NAPL source zones
Article Abstract:
Tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene removal from groundwater through dechlorinating microorganisms is researched at Rice University, finding that chlorine removal was 5 to 6.5 greater than a system relying on dissolution alone. The article supplies charts and graphs to support the researchers' conclusions.
