Pump and treat is safe, but cleanup is a slow process. It will usually last at least five to ten years, but can last for decades.
At the Area 6, about 6.3 million gallons of groundwater are pumped and treated every month. Only 1.3 gallons of DNAPL is recovered.
One Olympic swimming pool is 650,000 gallons. Therefore, for every 10 pool-volumes treated, only 1.3 gallons on NAPL are recovered.

Hydrocarbons like to adhere “sorb” onto the surfaces of activated carbon.
And, activated carbon has a lot of surface area.

Many LNAPLs and DNAPLs are Volatile Organic Carbons (VOCs)
i.e., they evaporate into the air vapors and are hazardous

Organic vapors are extracted (removed) from the ground by applying a vacuum to pull the vapors out of the unsaturated porous media.
5. Soil-Vapor Extraction (SVE)

Air Sparging
Air is pumped into the groundwater to volatize the organics out of the water which are then removed by SVE.

Microbes that live in soil and groundwater like to metabolize organics found in fuel and solvent.
When microbes completely digest these chemicals, they change them into water and harmless gases such as carbon dioxide.
