Projekt instalacji pilotowej przepuszczalnej bariery aktywnej do usuwania chlorowanych etenów z wód podziemnych

Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) are considered as an effective remedial option for groundwater contaminated with chlorinated ethens. A pilot-scale PRB installation described in this article has been used to: 1) test the possibility of treating groundwater contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) in the vicinity of the water works in SE Poland, and 2) to verify under field conditions the usefulness of compost and brown coal mixtures as the effective PRB reactive material (cheep, easily available and environmentally friendly) previously studied through batch and column tests.
