Edible Oil Barriers for Treatment of Perchlorate Contaminated Groundwater
2006
Borden, Robert C. | Zawtocki, Christie | Lieberman, Tony M.
This final technical report documents the demonstration of emulsified edible oils for remediation of perchlorate in groundwater. The demonstration was conducted at a confidential site in Maryland with a mixed perchlorate and 1,1,1-TCA groundwater plume. The primary objective of this project was to evaluate the cost and performance of an emulsified oil permeable reactive barrier (PRB) to control the migration of perchlorate plumes at DoD installations. The performance of the PRB was evaluated by monitoring the distribution of the oil emulsion in the aquifer, the impact of the oil injection on the aquifer permeability and groundwater flow paths, and the changes in contaminant concentrations and biodegradation indicator parameters both upgradient and downgradient of the PRB. Data obtained during the pilot test were used to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of emulsified edible oils for remediation of perchlorate and chlorinated ethanes in groundwater through enhanced biodegradation.
