Optimization design based on ensemble surrogate models for DNAPLs-contaminated groundwater remediation
The optimization design of surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation for dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs)-contaminated groundwater is proposed through integrating simulation and optimization models. Many studies have demonstrated that the surrogate model is an effective tool for building a bridge between simulation and optimization models. In this paper, the simulation model was first ...

Adaptive Kriging surrogate model for the optimization design of a dense non-aqueous phase liquid-contaminated groundwater remediation process
The optimization model needs to call the simulation model to calculate the response under different conditions for many times, and this is computationally expensive and time-consuming. To solve this problem, surrogate models can be used to yield insight into the functional relationship between the design variables and the responses, instead of simulation models in the optimization. In this ...

A mixed-integer non-linear programming with surrogate model for optimal remediation design of NAPLs contaminated aquifer
A mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) with surrogate model was introduced to derive the optimal surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) process (remediation cost minimisation and removal rate maximisation) at a nitrobenzene-contaminated site. First, a 3D multi-phase flow simulation model was developed to simulate the SEAR process; using a radial basis function artificial neural ...

Surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) using Ivey-sol surfactant technology
This paper will focus on the application of Ivey-sol non-ionic surfactant technology to improve the in-situ remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is soil and bedrock aquifers. Normally hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOC) exhibit limited solubility in groundwater as the contaminants tend to partition onto the soil and bedrock matrix. This partitioning can account for as much as ...

CASE STUDY - Setup and calibration of a three-dimensional numerical multiphase model for design of in-situ remediation of jet fuel with surfactant
BACKGROUND Storage and pumping of jet-fuel have caused a severe contamination of soil and groundwater at a military facility in Denmark. The contamination was detected in 2001. The Danish Defence has conducted 3 a series of investigations and set up a skimmer system, that has recovered approximately 25 m of jetfuel. In 2005, the recovery stopped, and the remaining jet-fuel is trapped as a ...

DNAPL Characterization Methods and Approaches, Part 1: Performance Comparisons
Contamination from the use of chlorinated solvents, often classified as dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) when in an undissolved state, represents an environmental challenge with global implications. Mass-transfer limitations due to rate-limited dissolution can lead to long-term aquifer persistence for even small volumetric fractions. The identification of DNAPL source zones located beneath ...

Perchlorate Remediation Project Case Study
ARCADIS was contracted in 2000 to lead the development, evaluation and selection of a final groundwater remedy for this 94-acre site in California. As part of this work, ARCADIS is also participating in the evaluation of innovative technologies with the potential to treat soil impacts in the multiple source areas across the site. Specifically, the project is focused on the remediation of seven ...

Stevens enhances groundwater remediation effectiveness - Case Study
The Stevens HydraProbe is now being used to monitor the progress of a new groundwater pollution clean up method called phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is the method by which trees are used to pull contamination out of groundwater. Remediation of contaminated aquifers can take many years to complete. The need for clean, healthy rivers, lakes and streams has stimulated ...
