Oxygen Release Compound (ORC super( registered )) was applied at a chemical plant to oxygenate an aquifer contaminated with organic compounds to enhance in situ bioremediation. The contaminants of concern included nitrochlorobenzene, nitroaniline, and chloroaniline. The ORC loading rates were based on dissolved organic compound mass in the treatment area as well as on DO concentrations and oxidationreduction potential measurements. The treatment was conducted over a six-month period, and the dissolved masses of o-chloroaniline, 2-nitroaniline, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichloropropane, naphthalene, and nitrobenzene were reduced 82.8, 82.1, 63.5, 61.0, 54.5, and 54.5%, respectively.
