Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Lands by Crude Oil using Enhanced Natural Attenuation
Abstract: This study evaluated the effect of remediation by enhanced natural attenuation, (RENA) carried out to determine the effectiveness of RENA as a method of remediation in restoring crude oil-contaminated land. The work compared its effect on two different spills of different intensities and the effects across different depths of penetration. It further investigated the reason some sites remediated by RENA are restored better than some other sites remediated using the …
