Abstract
SVE, air sparging, bioventing, and biosparging are the gas-based technologies used to volatilize and/or biodegrade VOCs in the subsurface. Before the introduction of MTBE to gasoline, these gas-based technologies were frequently the technologies of choice for managing gasoline releases. These technologies are still useful solutions for remediating gasoline releases containing MTBE; however, a designer must change some of the details of equipment and airflow sizing to accommodate the differences between MTBE and the other components of gasoline.
