Anaerobic biorestoration field demonstration project

Use of nitrate as an alternative electron acceptor for in situ treatment in an anaerobic biorestoration field demonstration project was reported by researchers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (54, 55). A shallow aquifer contaminated with jet fuel spill was the study site in which BTX removal by nitrate addition, along with other essential nutrients, was examined. Significant depletion of benzene, toluene, and m- and p-xylenes (but not o-xylene) were observed. Benzene loss was attributed to oxygen, whereas toluene and xylene losses appeared to be related to the nitrate and nutrient additions (54, 55).
