Although in situ approaches have been the focus of much of current bioremediation practice, many site- and wastestream- remediation challenges are best met by applying bioreactos and other ex-situ treatment technologies, either singly or sometimes in combination with other technologies. Such engineered systems for the treatment of vapor, water, slurries, and soils are the focus of this volume, which covers a number of treatment technologies such as slurry reactors, compost reactors, biopiles, packed-bed reactors, vapor-phase reactors, and biofilters. Articles cover a number of technologies and media, as well as a wide variety of contaminants, among them arsenic, TPHs, MTBE, heavy metals, solvents, and other wastes. This book is one of eight volumes of the proceedings of the 1999 International In Situ and On-Site Bioremediation Symposium held in San Diego, April 1999.
