NAPL Removal Surfactants, Foams, and Microemulsions

Complete and quantitative, NAPL Removal: Surfactants, Foams, and Microemulsions, presents the outcome of field demonstrations of innovative in situ remediation technologies. The monograph details two technologies, surfactant/foam and single-phase microemulsion, selected for their potential to provide the needed breakthroughs. Copiously illustrated with approximately 250 figures and tables, the monograph goes through the entire field demonstration step-by-step. It describes the development of the processes, analyzes the costs, discusses design issues, and covers performance and potential application of the new technology.
