Application

Electrically Induced Redox Barriers for Treatment of Groundwater
T. Sale, M. Petersen, and D. Gilbert.
Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), CU-0112, NTIS: ADA438421, 187 pp, 2005

Closely spaced permeable electrodes can be installed through a ground-water contaminant plume in the format of a permeable reactive barrier, called an e-barrier. An e-barrier was installed at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in August 2002 in the path of a shallow alluvial TCE plume. This report documents results from a three-year collaboration between ESTCP and Colorado State University on the development and testing of this innovative electrolytic approach for managing redox-sensitive contaminants in ground water.

ElectroChemical Remediation Technologies (ECRTS): In Situ Remediation of Contaminated Marine Sediments. Innovative Technology Evaluation Report
U.S. EPA, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Cincinnati, OH.
EPA 540-R-04-507, 74 pp, 2007

Describes a demonstration of the ElectroChemical Remediation Technologies (ECRTs) process conducted between August 2002 and March 2003 at the Log Pond at Georgia Pacific, Inc., in Bellingham, WA. The demonstration was designed to evaluate the ability of the ECRTs process to reduce concentrations of mercury, PAHs, and phenols in sediments. The system did not perform as well as anticipated, due in part to system operational problems encountered during the course of the demonstration.
