Long Term Hydrocarbon Removal Using Treatment Wetlands

This study focuses on the treatment performance of two full-scale treatment wetlands constructed by BP for groundwater remediation. The first is in Casper, Wyoming commissioned in 2003); the second is located in Wellsville, New York (commissioned in 2008). Treatment wetlands were selected in both cases due to low operating costs, which result in favorable life-cycle costs when managing legacy contaminants associated with former refining operations.
