Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the potential of applying acoustic waves, to enhance the mobility of non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) in aquifer, during pump and treat operation. A laboratory device was also developed, to study the influence of acoustic waves on the transport of DNAPLs in the saturated porous media. A specially designed acoustic reservoir attached to a pack column was developed, to conduct the study. Several studies were conducted during the first year of the project, to test the effect of acoustic waves propagating through saturated porous media on the mass transfer and the resulting dissolved phase transport of DNAPLs and mobility of DNAPL blobs in saturated porous media.
