Applying a One-Dimensional Mass Transport Model Using Groundwater Concentration Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One-dimensional analytical mass transport models are familiar to environmental professionals because they are typically used as learning devices in undergraduate groundwater courses. The application of the models requires ...
Using Regional Climate Center Data to Predict Small Wind Turbine Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of renewable energy systems may be attractive to environmental professionals who are designing and operating groundwater cleanup systems because of potential cost savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The ...
General Method for Predicting Capture Zone Widths for PV-Powered Pump-and-Treat Systems Using PVWATTS and Basic Hydrogeologic Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pump and treat (P&T) is one of the most commonly used technologies to remove and/or contain contaminated groundwater. An appropriate delineation of capture zones is necessary to design an effective P&T system. The study ...
Modeling of a Groundwater Circulation Well Removal Action Alternative
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the basis for using groundwater circulation wells (GCWs) for removal actions focused on contaminated domestic water supplies. A properly placed GCW could be used to pretreat water before it enters a ...
Model-Predicted Groundwater Circulation Well Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Groundwater circulation well (GCW) techniques are an innovative remedial technology that may effectively remediate contaminated groundwater in areas unfavorable to more traditional technologies. Traditional pump-and-treat ...
Using Conditional Probability to Predict Solar-Powered Pump-and-Treat Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of remediation projects is to protect human health and the environment by removing harmful substances from the environment. The carbon footprint of an environmental remediation site can be reduced by powering ...
Performance Evaluation of PV-Powered Pump and Treat Systems Using Typical Meteorological Year Three Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pump and treat (P&T) is a technology that has been extensively used to remove and/or contain contaminated groundwater. P&T systems conventionally operate continuously, which requires significant amounts of energy. The use ...
Pilot Study Evaluation of Pulsed Plasma Arc Ground-Water Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pilot-scale ground-water treatability studies were performed at the former Nebraska Ordnance Plant site near Mead, Nebr. Ground water at the former Nebraska Ordnance Plant is contaminated by trichloroethene (TCE) and ...
Application of a Mass Balance-Based Stochastic Transport Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The definition of contaminant source release is a necessary element of contaminant mass transport simulation in the saturated zone. At many sites the release history is unknown, and there has been a significant body of ...
Capture Zone Comparison for Photovoltaic Microgrid-Powered Pump and Treat Remediation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pump and treat groundwater remediation systems typically rely on utility power to continuously pump contaminated groundwater to an above-ground treatment unit. The use of renewable energy for a pump and treat remediation ...
