Leveraging Warm Water from Source Area Thermal Remedy for Synergistic Biotic and Abiotic Degradation of a CVOC Plume
OverviewBackground and Approach Thermal remedy in DNAPL source area Downgradient plume extends ~1,600 feet Leverage warm water for enhanced bioremediation Provect-IR – biotic and abiotic reaction mechanismsResults Water temperatures have increased 3-22°C 10x to >100x reduction in plume VOC concentrations One well cluster with insufficient reagent

Wrap Up Leveraged warm water downgradient from thermal treatment area Utilized Provect-IR, combined biotic and abiotic treatment reagent Direct-push injection in two permeable reactive zones Temperature increases observed but less than expected One well cluster likely has insufficient reagent
TCE decrease 50%, cDCE increase 3x
10x to 100x reductions in other wells Continuing to evaluate semi-annually
