  • Descrição: In this study, computer simulations of multiphase fluid flow surrounding sparge wells, as well as innovative field geophysical methods, have been employed to investigate the physical behavior of air sparging systems and the significance of conventional monitoring data. Field tests and simulations demonstrate the initial air injection is followed by transient system behavior during which the region of air flow first expands and then collapses partially once air breaks through to the unsaturated zone. These transient phases can last from hours to months or longer. For pilot testing it is important to realize that the radius of influence during transient behavioral phases may differ considerably from the radius at steady state. Furthermore, some monitoring parameters, such as water table mounding and other pressure measurements, will respond beyond the actual limits of air flow. The field and simulation studies demonstrate that the ambiguity of conventional monitoring data is a function of various factors which include their indirect relationship to air flow in the saturated zone, the transient aspects of pressure and water table changes, and differences in the controls on air flow within the saturated and unsaturated zones. It is also shown that water table mounding is generally a transient phenomenon that dissipates in time. As a result, the potential for water table mounding to cause undesired contaminant displacement is much less than commonly thought.
