JAROD-MICHAEL DEVRIES is an academic who published a paper in 2017 entitled Experimental investigation on the fate of ethanol-blended fuels in the subsurface. JAROD-MICHAEL DEVRIES published this work as part of a team: Devries, Jarod Michael. Here is a description of this work: Cur,,ently, the North American market for motor fuels is distributing E10 (gasoline with an ethanol content up to 10%). Recent legislature is promoting a range of higher ethanol content fuels to be introduced into the market. The result is an increased risk of accidental release of these higher ethanol content fuels. A comprehensive understanding of the fate of ethanol-blended fuels, including interactions between its constituents (e.G. Ethanol, benzene and toluene), degradation products (e.G. VFAs, COâ‚‚, CHâ‚") and potential secondary water quality impacts (e.G. Mn²âº, Fe²âº), is lacking. Eight large columns were constructed to evaluate the impacts of fuel blends of varying ethanol contents on biodegradation, and to determine the effect of soil type on gas generation and migration. In each scenario, approximately 2L of fuel was i.
