API PUBL 1628A, 1st Edition, July 1996 - Natural Attenuation Processes



1.1 Purpose and Scope

This publication describes the physical, chemical, and biological processes that decrease the concentrations and ultimately limit the extent of the dissolved plume migrating from a hydrocarbon release. It is primarily focused on the more soluble hydrocarbon fraction that makes up the dissolved plume. Emphasis is given to the biological processes that can play a major role in the attenuation of a dissolved plume.
