UTCHEM MODEL OF DNAPL REMEDIATION WITH A PUMP AND TREAT SYSTEM
(View Résumé 🔳)
INITIAL DNAPL CONTAMINATION
This webpage describes the UTCHEM simulation of Pump and Treat (PT) remediation of the hypothetical 30-day PCE spill described on the webpage titled DNAPL Contamination. The liquid PCE distribution at the end of the spill is characterized by the 10 percent locus shown on Figure 1. This purple contour encloses the part of the aquifer where the oleic phase PCE fills more than 10 percent of the pore space. Figure 1 also shows the inhomogeneity of the aquifer with respect to permeability.
