Groundwater Remediation
Groundwater Remediation
Pump and Treat :
Contaminated groundwater extracted from the subsurface
by pumping is treated before it is discharged
Contaminants : fuel , solvents , and pesticides
Air sparging :
Air sparging is an in situ technology in which air is injected through a contaminated aquifer .
Injected air traverses horizontally and vertically in channels through the soil column ,
Creating an underground stripper that removes contaminants by volatilization .
Contaminants : VOCs , and fuels .
Permeable Reactive Barrier ( PRB ) :
PRB is a wall created below ground to clean up contaminated groundwater . The reactive materials that make up
The walleither trap harmful contaminants or make them less harmful.
Contaminants : chlorinated solvent , other organics , metals ,inorganics , and radio nuclides .
