Hydrotechnics in Situ Flow Sensor

Abstract

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfluid Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program evaluated performance of HydroTechnics, Inc. flow sensors in measuring the three-dimensional flow pattern created by operation of the Wasatch Environmental, Inc. (WEI) groundwater circulation well (GCW). The GCW is a dual-screened, in-well air-stripping system designed to remove volatile organic compounds (VOC) from groundwater. Operation of the GCW creates a groundwater flow pattern that forms a three-dimensional regime known as a "circulation cell." EPA's evaluation of the GCW circulation cell involved use of in situ groundwater velocity flow sensors that were developed at Sandia National Laboratories and manufactured by HydroTechnics, Inc.
