Two, pilot-scale, GeoSiphon(TM) systems have been installed and tested for the treatment of contaminated ground water at the Savannah River Site (SRS). These systems consisted of an in situ treatment cell located in an area of higher hydraulic head and a siphon connecting the cell to a surface stream at a lower hydraulic head. The siphon induced contaminated ground water flow through a permeable treatment media in the cells and transported the treated water to the discharge points in a surface stream. The hydraulic head available to drive the systems is divided between the head losses associated with the treatment cell and siphon. Six different treatment cell configurations and seven different siphon configurations have been hydraulically evaluated in association with both pilot-scale systems. The results provide valuable guidelines for the design of GeoSiphon systems.
