Definitions for "Bioventing"
The process of aerating vadose zone soils by means of installed vents to stimulate in situ biological activity and optimize biodegradation of organic compounds with some volatilization occurring.
Circulation of air through the unsaturated subsurface to remove volatile contaminants and provide oxygen, which stimulates microorganisms to degrade remaining contaminants.
remediation technique – typically used to enhance bioremediation by providing oxygen to native in situ organisms.
