Apparatuses for removal of volatile organic compounds in a soil formation
include a microporous diffuser for injecting air and gaseous ozone as
bubbles into water in the soil formation. The gaseous ozone is present at
concentrations to effect removal of volatile organic compounds by the
gaseous ozone reacting with the volatile organic compound(s). Injection
of air and gaseous ozone is controlled by a timer to allow separation of
bubbles by size. In various embodiments, a plurality of microporous
diffusers may be controlled by a single timer or each of the plurality of
microporous diffusers may be controlled by one of a plurality of timers.
