Soil vapor extraction (SVE) and bioventing (BV) are proven strategies for remediation of unsaturated zone soils. Mathematical models are powerful tools that can be used to integrate and quantify the interaction of physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring in field scale SVE/VB systems. This report describes the conceptual and mathematical formulation, numerical implementation, and application of a multiphase, multicomponent, biodegradation model designed to simulate physical, chemical, and biological interactions occurring in field scale SVE and BV systems. The model, the Michigan Soil Vapor Extraction Remediation Model (MISER), is two-dimensional and may be run in a cross-sectional or axisymmetric mode. Phase and constituent mass balance equations are discretized with a standard Galerkin finite element approach using linear triangular elements. A modular, set-iterative solution algorithm is employed. Features of the model include: the ability to simulate multiphase gas and aqueous fluid flow; the simulation of multicomponent transport processes, incorporation of rate-limited interphase mass transfer for volatilization and dissolution of an entrapped organic liquid, volatilization and sorption of aqueous phase constituents, and biophase update; and the simulation of multicomponent biodegradation kinetics and microbial population dynamics. A complete description of the computer code, implementation procedures, and example SVE and BV simulations is included.

This manual provides practical guidance for the design and operation of soil vapor extraction (SVE) and bioventing (BV) systems. It is intended for use by engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, and soil scientists, chemists, project managers, and others who possess a technical education and some design experience but only the broadest familiarity with SVE or BV systems.

This report provides an engineering analysis of, and status report on, selected enhancements for soil vapor extraction (SVE) treatment technologies. The report is intended to assist project managers considering an SVE treatment system by providing them with an up-to-date status of enhancement technologies; an evaluation of each technology's applicability to various site conditions; a presentation of cost and performance information; a list of vendors specializing in the technologies; a discussion of relative strengths and limitations of the technologies; recommendations to keep in mind when considering the enhancements; and a compilation of references. The performance of an SVE system depends on properties of both the contaminants and the soil. SVE is generally applicable to compounds with a vapor pressure of greater than 1 millimeter of mercury at 20EC and a Henry s Law constant of greater than 100 atmospheres per mole fraction. SVE is most effective at sites with relatively permeable contaminated soil and with saturated hydraulic conductivities of greater than 1 x 10 or 1 x 10 centimeter per second (cm/s). SVE by itself does not effectively remove contaminants -3 -2 in saturated soil. However, SVE can be used as an integral part of some treatment schemes that treat both groundwater and the overlying vadose zone. Enhancement technologies should be considered when contaminant or soil characteristics limit the effectiveness of SVE or when contaminants are present in saturated soil. The five enhancement technologies covered in this report are as follows and are described in the following subsections: * Air Sparging * Dual-phase Extraction * Directional Drilling * Pneumatic and Hydraulic Fracturing * Thermal Enhancement.
