Contaminated groundwater has become an ever-increasing problem. It poses a threat to the environment where fuels, cleaning solvents, and degreasers have seeped into the ground due to past disposal practices, spills, or leaking storage tanks. Volatile organic compounds are another large problem and are found in most municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents. In this project, treatment of a model VOC contaminated wastewater stream is presented.
