Preliminary analysis of NAPL behavior in soil-heated vapor extraction for in-situ environmental restoration

Webb, Stephen W.

Simulations of soil-heated vapor extraction have been performed to evaluate the NAPL removal performance as a function of borehole vacuum. The possibility of loss of NAPL containment, or NAPL migration into the unheated soil, is also evaluated in the simulations. A practical warning sign indicating migration of NAPL into the unheated zone is discussed.
