This fully serviced laboratory is used for treatability tests to evaluate the removal of dissolved metals and metalloids in groundwater from mining, industrial and municipal sites.
The treatability tests involve the use of bench scale flow-through column tests to identify reactive materials and mixtures that may be suitable for use in a full-scale PRB. The treatment promotes the removal of dissolved contaminants under natural groundwater flow conditions.
