All about LNAPL in the subsurface
CSIRO is offering an opportunity for groundwater remediation
consultants, project managers, contaminated site owners and regulatory
compliance officers (in both the public and private sector) to learn about
the distribution and recovery of light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL)
in contaminated aquifers.
The practical two-day course will run in major capital
cities (Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide) in February/March
2005. A one-day option is also available – as the second day is
for those who are interested in how the theory is incorporated into the
modelling process, or would be expected to interpret or perform modelling
for remediation design and site evaluation.
The course is designed to provide an advanced understanding
of LNAPL behaviour in the subsurface as well as the significance and implications
of LNAPL with respect to site remediation. Course leaders Dr Randall Charbeneau
(University of Texas), Mark Adamski (BP America) and Colin Johnston (CSIRO
Land and Water) will explain how LNAPL enters, occupies and migrates in
the subsurface using a recently revised conceptual model for LNAPL behaviour
in the subsurface. The new conceptual model is supported and explained
using the latest research and work from the American Petroleum Institute
(API), the US Environmental Protection Agency, CSIRO and BP.
