Fumes in garage after a spill from AST

Photoionization detector meter (PID) values showed a 94% reduction in the values of fumes below the slab while the carbon dioxide values showed continued bacterial activity during the process. As the soil beneath or groundwater showed any contamination, the project was closed. For more details, please follow this link

Objective:

About 200 gallons of heating oil were lost from an AST in the garage at a residence. The oil primarily flowed from the tank location to the gravel and soil under the garage slab. Strong petroleum odors were present nine months after the initial release and VaporRemed was used for the elimination of fumes.

Release from Above Ground Storage Tank

A heating oil spill had migrated below the garage in a residential facility with high hydrocarbon values in the air as measured by the PID meter. After one application of VaporRemed, a 94% reduction in the values of fumes below the slab was recorded and the carbon dioxide values indicated a continuous bacterial activity during the process. As the soil beneath or groundwater did not show any contamination, the project was closed.
