UNDERSTANDING LNAPL IN FINE GRAINED SOIL:
Convention, Misconceptions and New Advances
This 90-minute webinar will provide practitioners with an advanced understanding LNAPL occurrence and distribution in fine-grained soils and a discussion of the geochemical conditions that affect LNAPL saturations. Comprehensive analysis of various sites will illustrate practical ways to consider LNAPL saturations their residual effects.
Some webinar topics include:
- Why LNAPL does not float on the water table in FGS - or most soil
- Understanding how FGS structure controls LNAPL distribution
- How this distribution can be drastically different than we expect
- Understanding LNAPL saturations measured at field sites
- The impact this has on LNAPL volume
- Understanding residual LNAPL saturation
- Importance of vertical hydraulic gradients in LNAPL distribution
- An introduction to confined LNAPL conditions
Attendees are invited to actively participate during this live and interactive on-line web seminar. Discussion is planned following the webinar for those who want to continue the session. Bring your questions to the webinar and present them to the instructor and other participants for exploring the best solution.

Instructor Bio
Mark R. Adamski, PG is a Technical Specialist with BP America where he directs BP and API research in the occurrence and behaviour of LNAPL in the subsurface. He has conducted research on this topic for ten years within BP and conducted, analyzed, and modeled LNAPL distribution and recovery at BP sites worldwide. As a result of this experience he has presented at conferences, seminars, and workshops internationally for several years, including the Midwest GeoSciences Group. He has been involved with the development of landmark regulatory LNAPL guidance documents developed by the State of Texas, ITRC, and the US EPA. His primary areas of current LNAPL study are site characterization techniques, LNAPL metrics, plume migration, and recovery techniques. Mark has worked in modeling fluid migration in porous media throughout his 17 year career with BP. He holds a BS in Geological Engineering and a MS in Hydrogeology. Mark is currently located in the BP office at Westlake in Houston, Texas.
