Foam for environmental remediation

Foam can also redirect the flow of gas or liquid in in situ cleanup of groundwater. The same trends in behavior observed in research on foam for oil recovery apply to environmental remediation, but the permeabilities are higher and the constraints on injection well pressure are more severe.
