Groundwater remediation

Groundwater remediation

Groundwater remediation is the process by which water pollution is extracted and filtered.

Techniques

There are several techniques used for groundwater remediation. These include Pump and Treat, Bioremediation, Air Sparging, Vapor Extraction, Bioaugmentation, Surfactant Enhanced Recovery, Dual Phase Recovery, and Phytoremediation. The controls used to operate the remediation systems (PLC based controls) are often used in conjunction with telemetry for remote operations.
