Abstract

Groundwater circulation wells (in German, Grundwasser Zirkulation Brunnen, GZB) have been established as an in-situ flushing method for the remediation of volatile contaminants in groundwater. Here the operation of a GZB with three well screens and numerical modeling of a field operating system of GZB and pumping well, for the remediation of volatile contaminants is presented. The GZB is used for the removal of volatile contaminants in a highly industrial polluted region and a pumping well is provided at the downstream of the GZB in order to capture the existing contaminants in the downstream which is recharged into the GZB. A three- dimensional super position model coupled with finite element method is used to analyze the flow pattern between GZB and pumpi
