Is the operation and maintenance of the Butane Biostimulation Technologies treatment system labor intensive?
A. One of the most attractive features of this technology is that the butane injection equipment has been engineered to be simple and effective. Once the equipment has been installed, the operation and maintenance of the system is related to replacing empty butane and nitrogen cylinders. In general, it takes approximately 15 minutes to replace a cylinder. At most sites O&M visits are usually scheduled monthly. This is unlike labor-intensive remedial additive technologies that involve handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals and adding them to the subsurface over numerous addition events.
