X-625 Groundwater Treament Facility: A Field-Scale Test of Trichloroethylene Dechlorination Using Iron Filings for the X-120/X-749 Groundwater Plume

摘要

Because of its successful application in the laboratory and other field sites, the X-625 Groundwater Treatment Facility (GTF) was constructed to evaluate reactive barrier technology for remediating trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated groundwater at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS). The X-625 GTF was built to fulfill the following technical objectives: (1) to test reactive barrier materials (e.g., iron filings) under realistic groundwater conditions for long term applications, (2) to obtain rates at which TCE degrades and to determine by-products for the reactive barrier materials tested, and (3) to clean up the TCE-contaminant water in the X-120 plume. This report describes start up and operating results through mid-August, 1996.
