Description:
Permeable reactive barriers (PRB's) are an emerging, alternative in-situ approach for remediating groundwater contamination that combine subsurface fluid flow management with a passive chemical treatment zone. The few pilot and commercial installations which have been implemented thus far have proven that passive reactive barriers can be a cost-effective and efficient approach to remediate these compounds. However, in all of the pilot and commercial installations to date there has been very little data collected or research focused on the long-term performance of these in-situ systems, particularly with respect to the build-up of surface precipitates or bio-fouling.
