Groundwater Treatment Technology provides a complete review of current technologies for groundwater treatment.
It also explains the design techniques that are required to apply those technologies successfully in a groundwater cleanup and provides the reader with the unique design criteria and detailed knowledge of these specific treatment methods.
- A unique focus on aboveground treatment technologies
- Coverage of new treatment methods and regulations for arsenic, radon, 1,4-dioxane, MTBE, perchlorate, and NDMA among others
- New material covering the operations of treatment systems
- Detailed strategies for remediation
- Specific data on treatment methods as applied in the field
Given the current prominence of aboveground treatment, Groundwater Treatment Technology limits the design discussion to aboveground techniques, though it still discusses how the various aboveground technologies interact with various in-situ methods.
