Abstract

This paper presents a general numerical model able to simulate both organic pollutants migration (3-phase compositional flows, mass transfer, transport) in soils and aquifers and decontamination techniques such as pumping, in situ stripping, venting, hot venting, steam injection, surfactant injection and biodegradation. To validate the simulator, a 3-D experiment in a large pilot was carried out. A total of 475 liters of diesel oil was injected in the pilot and numerous in-situ measurements were performed to determine pollutants location and concentrations within the
