Groundwater Treatment
The 29th and Grove mitigation efforts include using a Directed Groundwater Recirculation (DGR) system.
How Directed Groundwater Recirculation Speeds Up Remediation
Extraction and Treatment:
- We use special wells to pull out polluted groundwater from specific areas.
- The water goes to a treatment site where filters remove dirt and particles before it enters a device that bubbles air through the water to clean it.
- The vapor from this process is cleaned using a special filter to remove harmful chemicals before being released into the air.
Reinjection and Discharge:
- The clean water is collected in another tank and treated to prevent bacterial growth.
- This clean water is then either put back into the ground to help speed up the cleaning process or safely released into local water systems.
Monitoring:
- The system has sensors and alarms to monitor its operation and notify us of any issues. It can automatically shut down if there are any problems.
- Remote monitoring allows us to keep track of the system’s performance and respond quickly to any alerts.
Efficiency:
- By combining the processes of pulling out, treating, and reinjecting water, the DGR system speeds up the cleanup process, making it faster and more effective.
