Borehole Diffusive Flux Apparatus
- Detailed Technology Description
- Title: Borehole Diffusive Flux Apparatus Invention: This invention characterizes contaminant plumes. Background: Removing contaminants from groundwater involves significant time and cost because contaminants spread in a plume through general water movement and specific contaminant diffusion. Mixtures of soils with different permeabilities can lead to back-diffusion complications, as contaminants travel from areas of untreated low-permeability to high-permeability soil already treated. Such information allows for remediation strategy planning most applicable to local conditions. Application:Groundwater remediation Advantages:Clear characterization of local contaminated site condition changesBetter understanding of permeability differences and diffusive fluxReal-time and continuous data tracks trends and progressionsVariety of testing techniques available through access to sampling pointExpands on current borehole testing processes to minimize remediation uncertainty Licensing Manager:Tod McCauleyTodM@tla.arizona.edu(520) 626-7916
