A sparging system for in-situ groundwater remediation for removal of contamination
including dissolved chlorinated hydrocarbons and dissolved hydrocarbon petroleum
products including the use in injection wells of microfine bubble generators, matched
to substrates of selected aquifer regions, for injection and distribution of said
bubbles containing oxidizing gas through said aquifer and to selectively encapsulating
gases including oxygen and ozone in duo-gas bubbles which, in the presence of co-reactant
substrate material acting as a catalyst, are effective to encourage biodegradation
of leachate plumes which contain biodegradable organics, or Criegee decomposition
of leachate plumes containing dissolved chlorinated hydrocarbons.
