| Short description: |
Biowall substrates are
typically low-cost materials (e.g., mulch, compost). The
substrates are mixed with common construction materials (e.g.,
sand, gravel) to prevent compaction and maintain permeability.
Amendments can be added to stimulate both biotic and abiotic
degradation processes, based on the type of contaminant(s)
present and the desired degradation pathway(s) to be stimulated.
The technology can be applied in source areas or use groundwater
recirculation to capture deeper plumes in an in situ bioreactor
configuration
