| Abstract: | The first reactive barrier water-treatment system to be used in Europe was installed in Belfast, Northern Ireland by Golder Associates for client Nortel Ltd. Ground water under the Monkstown facility in Belfast was found to be contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) resulting from many spills of chlorinated solvents during the manufacture of electronic components. A cement/bentonite wall in a V shape funnels the contaminated ground water through a permeable reactive iron gate. Monitoring results since the 1996 installation indicate a 99.97 % reduction in TCE levels and daughter product concentrations as a result of the plume passing through the iron gate. |

| Abstract: | Designing reactive treatment systems with appropriate chemical reactions can be complicated by fitting such systems to the particular circumstances of a site. A case history is presented of a full-scale permeable reactive zone installed at an active industrial site for the manufacture of electronic components in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Iron filings were deployed in an in situ reactor vessel to treat such chlorinated solvents as trichloroethene (TCE), trichloroethane (TCA), and tetrachloroethene (PCE). |
