Abstract
The cleaner wick system, a modification of wick drains; a technology in recent use to consolidate low permeability soils, is proposed to treat contaminated groundwater plumes. Laboratory experiments on surrogate contaminants produce satisfactory results. Theoretical models are developed utilizing the cleaner wick system to treat volatile organic contaminants by air stripping and adsorption on granular activated carbon.
