Demonstration and Validation of the Horizontal Reactive Media Treatment (HRX) Well for Managing Contaminant Plumes in Complex Geological Environments

Abstract

The objective of this project is to field-validate the horizontal reactive media treatment well (HRX Well), a new in situ remediation approach that uses directionally drilled horizontal wells filled with granular reactive treatment media. Groundwater is treated in situ as it flows through the HRX Well. The HRX Well concept is well-suited for sites where long-term mass discharge control is a primary performance objective and is particularly appropriate for recalcitrant and difficult-to-treat constituents, including chlorinated solvents, poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), 1,4-dioxane, and metals.
