==Summary==
 
Emulsified Vegetable Oil (EVO) is commonly added as a slowly fermentable substrate to stimulate ''in situ'' anaerobic bioremediation.  Commercially available EVO typically contains a mixture of 45 to 60% vegetable oil present in small (0.5 to 2.0 µm) droplets, more readily fermentable soluble substrates (e.g. fatty acids or alcohols), surfactants, nutrients and water.  Oil droplets are retained by aquifer material when they collide with sediment surfaces and stick (referred to as interception).  The tendency of oil droplets to stick to aquifer material varies due to a number of factors including pH, droplet and matrix grain surface coatings, ionic strength, surface roughness, sediment surface charge heterogeneity, and blocking of the sediment surface with previously retained droplets.  Following injection, the vegetable oil is hydrolyzed to glycerol and long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs), which are subsequently fermented to hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) and acetate.  The rate of LCFA fermentation and resulting H<sub>2</sub> production is limited by sorption to sediment surfaces and/or precipitation with divalent cations (Ca<sup>+2</sup>, Mg<sup>+2</sup>, Mn<sup>+2</sup>, Fe<sup>+2</sup>).  Since H<sub>2</sub> is rapidly consumed near where it is produced, the oil droplets should be distributed as uniformly as possible throughout the target treatment zone.  This involves injecting sufficient EVO and sufficient water to distribute the EVO throughout the treatment zone.
