SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING RATE OF GROUND WATER RE-CONTAMINATION DUE TO ROCK MATRIX BACK DIFFUSION

摘要

The present invention is a low permeability rock matrix back diffusion testing system and method which enables contaminant concentrations and hydraulic pressure values to be independently tested. This system includes specially configured packer components which allow precise placement and maintain test conditions for the duration of a study to accurately measure and predict the rate of back flow diffusion over time in low permeability zones.
