English term or phrase: air sparging
Definition from United States Department of Agriculture:
Air sparging is an in situ remedial technology that reduces concentrations of volatile constituents in petroleum products that are adsorbed to soils and dissolved in groundwater. It involves the injection of contaminant-free air into the subsurface saturated zone, enabling a phase transfer of hydrocarbons from a dissolved state to a vapor phase. The air is then vented through the unsaturated zone.

Example sentence(s):
  • The air sparging system is incorporated as an annular header surrounding a portion of the body of the hydrocyclone with a porous wall providing the necessary passageway for air dispersion into the hydrocyclone. Free Patents Online
  • An air sparging system can use either vertical or horizontal sparge wells. Well orientation should be based on site-specific needs and conditions. United States EPA
  • From the latter we can estimate the maximum radius of influence of air sparging, as a function of the physical parameters. ScienceDirect

Airsparging
Definition:
In-situ-Sanierungsverfahren - Verfahren für die gesättigte Bodenzone:
Airsparging bezeichnet die Injektion atmosphärischer Luft in den Grundwasserleiter. Die Luftinjektion führt zur Ausbildung eines kegelförmigen Bereiches von fein verästelten Kanälen, durch die die Luft in die ungesättigte Bodenzone strömt.

Biosparging


Definition from Bundesamt für Umwelt (BAFU), Schweiz:
In Situ Sanierung - Biologische Verfahren:
Beim Biosparging führt die kontrollierte Injektion von ölfreier Druckluft in den Grundwasserleiter zum mikrobiellen Schadstoffabbau und zur in situ-Strippung der im Grundwasser gelösten leichtflüchtigen Komponenten.

Airsparging


Definition from Ing.-tech. Verb. f. Altlasten... (ITVA):
In-situ-Sanierungsverfahren - Verfahren für die gesättigte Bodenzone:
Airsparging bezeichnet die Injektion atmosphärischer Luft in den Grundwasserleiter. Die Luftinjektion führt zur Ausbildung eines kegelförmigen Bereiches von fein verästelten Kanälen, durch die die Luft in die ungesättigte Bodenzone strömt.

Example sentence(s):
  • Prinzip: Airsparging basiert auf dem physikalischen Prinzip der Desorption. Im Grundwasser vorhandene leichtflüchtige organische Verbindungen sollen durch einen Lufteintrag in den Aquifer in die Gasphase überführt und somit aus dem gesättigten Horizont ausgetragen werden. (Seite 28) - ITVA
