Description

Oxygen Releasing Materials (ORMS) are commercially available materials that are being used to treat petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater aquifers. ORMS release oxygen togroundwater, which stimulates the growth and activity of native microorganisms. The principle questions that must be answered when evaluating a proposed ORM installation are:

1. How much ORM is required and how much will it cost?;

2. What method of ORM installation will distribute oxygen most effectively across the site?; and

3. What type of monitoring will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the ORM installation in meeting site cleanup goals?

This technical bulletin addresses these questions using a step-by-step design approach intended for practitioners who are evaluating the use of ORMS.

The scientific basis for ORMS is discussed and the current state of knowledge of ORM-based technology is reviewed. A systematic approach is presented for evaluating the utility of ORM treatment for a site and for use in designing ORM installations. Example design calculations are used to illustrate the principles discussed and an annotated bibliography of the technical literature is presented.
