Enhanced Pump & Treat
A common contamination remediation technique is known as Pump-and-Treat, where impacted groundwater is extracted from subsurface and pumped into a facility or holding tank. Subsequently, the impacted groundwater is treated using appropriate methods; including air stripping, carbon adsorption, chemical oxidation and biological degradation. Waterloo Barrier® cutoff walls have been included in the designs of new or existing Pump-and-Treat systems in order to increase the efficiency and to reduce the operation costs.
Waterloo Barrier® Cutoff Wall installed along a riverbank to enhance the pump and treat system.
