Microbiologically Enhanced
Vertical Groundwater Circulation Well
Microbiologically enhanced vertical groundwater circulation
well (mGCW™) technology significantly modifies conventional
GCW systems to effect the removal of inorganic constituents
(e.g., heavy metals and nitrate) and/or accelerate the biodegradation
of persistent organic compounds under aerobic (e.g., high-molecular-weight
PAHs) or anaerobic (e.g., organic explosives, perchlorate,
chlorinated hydrocarbons) conditions. The mGCW systems are
specifically designed and uniquely configured to provide
accelerated aerobic, enhanced anaerobic or sequential anaerobic/aerobic
reactions. These reactions facilitate terminal destruction
of persistent organics, appropriately coupled with the removal
of inorganic constituents where needed.
mGCW technology can simultaneously provide in situ treatment
of soil (vadose zone) and the saturated zone without removing
groundwater.
