Comparative Demonstration of Active and Semi-Passive in Situ Bioremediation Approaches for Perchlorate-Impacted Groundwater at Longhorn Army Ammunitions Plant

Abstract

The overall objective of this work was to demonstrate the efficacy of the semi-passive approach to EISB to generate accurate full-scale design and cost information for widespread technology consideration and application. The demonstration was designed to evaluate performance objectives, including 1) the ease of installation of system components, 2) the ease of electron donor delivery events, 3) the enhancement of microbiological activity and the reduction in perchlorate concentrations, 4) the ease of performance monitoring and validation, and 5) the radius of influence and distance for degradation. Based on the experience and observations made during the demonstration, the performance objectives for the demonstration were achieved.
