VECTOR Systems for Remediation Systems Evaluation
Optimization of the three-dimensional zone of influence for poorly
performing Ground Water Circulation Wells, Air Sparging systems, In-Situ Flushing, In-Well Stripping, and Pump and Treat Systems in unconsolidated, saturated sediments:
- Refine field parameters and improve model calibration for analyzing aquifer-disturbing technology performance.
- Directly observe effects on three-dimensional aquifer motion by changing fluid pumping and injection rates, schedules, and even directions.
- Determine optimum sampling locations and intervals based on observed travel time and direction.
- Monitor field-scale and regional environmental contributions to induced flow vectors. Use in conjunction with existing monitoring wells to directly monitor changes to localized hydraulic anisotropies over time.
- Optimize monitoring efficiency by performing long-term flow vector monitoring and data downloading remotely via wireless or land-line modem or satellite link.
Flow (Net) Determination for optimizing capture zones in passive remediation environments:
- Determination of field-scale flow lines near permeable barrier systems for effective monitoring of barrier foul-up over time.
- Easily manipulate ground water flow vectors for determining diurnal or seasonal background flow contributions to catchment areas in funnel and gate systems.
- Monitor subsurface stresses to passive technologies from extreme climatic effects.
Improved characterization of flow system degradation over time in bioremedial environments:
- Monitor steady, long-term decreases or anomalous variations in hydraulic conductivity from biofouling.
- Improve nutrient or biocide injection schedules for more consistent contaminant degradation over time.
- Improve sampling locations and schedules by compensating for areas of decreasing flow over time.
