Separate phase kerosene and degraded gasoline existed at two different active gasoline stations owned by a major oil company. A total of nine and five 8-hour EFR® events were conducted at the kerosene and gasoline free product sites, respectively, at a total cost of $39,153 for both sites. Although only 0.20 to 0.25 feet of product existed at the site, the low mobility of the kerosene and degraded gasoline posed a challenge. Free product was successfully removed from both sites.

A single eight hour EFR® event was conducted at an active service station site as an emergency response action. A release of approximately 2,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline via an overfill/overspill was documented. Approximately 1,000 gallons were removed prior to implementation of EFR®. Offgas concentration exceeded 100,000 ppm during the initial five hours of the event and an estimated 998 equivalent gallons of gasoline were removed at a total cost of $3,272, inclusive of the cost to dispose of product and groundwater.

A pump and treat system was previously installed at this site at a total cost of >$200,000, which reportedly recovered only ~200 gallons of gasoline. Over 3 feet of product persisted onsite and >1.5 feet of product existed offsite (across a highway) near a creek. Five 8 hour EFR® events have been implemented at the site utilizing offgas treatment. A calculated total of 203 gallons of product have been removed at a total cost of $14,822. Product in the onsite well (which has been subjected to three of the five EFR® events) has been reduced from 3.31 feet to 0.06 feet and in the offsite well (two EFR® events) from 1.65 feet to 0.19 feet.

EcoVac Services was retained by a national environmental consulting firm to remove free product at an airport car rental facility. As much as 1.27 feet of free product has existed in two monitor wells. Free product was removed after seven EFR® events performed at a cost of $24,017. EFR® has been continued at the site due to the high VOC offgas concentrations (>100,000 ppm) so as to further reduce adsorbed and dissolved phase concentrations in the soil and groundwater.
