Treatment walls are structures installed underground to treat contaminated ground water found at hazardous waste sites. Treatment walls... are put in place by constructing a giant trench across the flow path of contaminated ground water and filling it with one of a variety of materials(reactive fillings) carefully selected for the ability to clean up specific types of contaminants. As the contaminated ground water passes through the treatment wall, the contaminants are either trapped by the treatment wall or transformed into harmless substances that flow out of the wall. 2, record 1, English, - treatment%20wall

L'Institut de recherche sur les nappes d'eau souterraines a développé un système d'ingénierie pour le traitement passif de la contamination au nitrate provenant d'effluent de système septique. Le traitement s'effectue à la sous-surface à l'intérieur d'une couche réactive de média poreux ou d'un mur qui intercepte l'effluent. La couche réactive est augmentée avec une source de charbon organique sous phase solide qui active la biodégradation du nitrate par dénitrification [...] La barrière réactive peut être installée sous le champ du système septique comme couche horizontale qui empêche le nitrate d'atteindre la table d'eau ou elle peut être installée comme mur vertical pour traiter les descentes existantes de nitrate dans les aquasphères circulant à l'horizontal. 2, record 1, French, - paroi%20drainante

Basic system operation and performance allow for the processing of contaminated JP-5 fuel that consists of any combination of particulates, water, and aviation fuel. Contaminated fuel is loaded into the process tank via a defueler truck used to collect the segregated JP-5 from squadron hazardous waste storage sites. The fuel is circulated at 15 gpm through the system until it is determined to be visually clean via a sampling port. A gravity drain valve allows for the discharge of wastewater stripped from the fuel during circulation. Depending on the level of particulate contamination, the fuel may be considered clean(less than 2mg/1 particulates, less than 5ppm free water) after one pass through the system or several. A sample of the fuel is then sent to the laboratory for further testing, especially with respect to the flash point. The system can only remove water and particulates. 3, record 5, English, - fuel%20reclaimer
