Petroleum
contamination of soil and water at refineries, service stations, and other
facilities is a serious problem. Through
the chemical analysis of the soil and water it can be determined what
product(s) are present, the extent of the contamination, and, under the
right conditions, when the contamination occurred.
Remediation of soil and water can be monitored and optimized
through analysis and understanding of the processes in conjunction with
the site characteristics.
We
present here a series of resources to assist you in understanding
petroleum products and the factors involved in remediating petroleum
contamination.
