[0023] And the pollutants in the groundwater pollution plume use the permeable reactive wall technology in the area with low water head. The groundwater flow rate is slow in the area with low water head, which leads to low contact efficiency of the filler in the reactive wall and the polluted water flow, thus leading to slow remediation of the polluted groundwater.

[0024] The present application provides a groundwater remediation system.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, the groundwater remediation system 100 comprises a plurality of reactive walls 1, a remediation agent 2, a dewatering well 3 and a sewage pump 4. The reactive walls 1 extend along a second direction, and a plurality of reactive walls 1 are arranged at intervals along a first direction. The reactive walls 1 are hollow. The remediation agent 2 is filled in the interior of the reactive walls 1. The reactive walls 1 are used for the groundwater to penetrate and flow through along the first direction to contact the remediation agent 2. At least one dewatering well 3 is arranged between two adjacent reactive walls 1. The sewage pump 4 is installed in the dewatering well 3 and used for pumping groundwater.

[0026] The technical scheme of the present application is characterized in that the first direction is the flowing direction of the underground water, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the reaction wall 1 is filled with the remediation agent 2, the depth of the reaction wall 1 is 2 m into the impermeable layer of the floor of the contaminated underground water, and the top of the reaction wall 1 is flush with the original ground. The underground water continues to flow on the flowing path through the reaction wall 1 to ensure that the underground water contacts the remediation agent 2 and realizes the remediation of the underground water. In order to ensure the remediation effect of the underground water, a plurality of reaction walls 1 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The precipitation well 3 is 2 m into the impermeable layer of the floor of the contaminated underground water, so that the precipitation well 3 can communicate with the underground water, and the submersible sewage pump 4 is installed in the precipitation well 3 and used for pumping the underground water. The precipitation well 3 is arranged between the adjacent two reaction walls 1. For the reaction wall 1 located upstream of the precipitation well 3, the pumping of the underground water from the precipitation well 3 can lower the water level of the underground water downstream of the reaction wall 1, increase the water level difference on both sides of the reaction wall 1 along the first direction, increase the permeation efficiency of the underground water, accelerate the flowing speed along the first direction, and improve the remediation speed of the contaminated underground water. For the last reaction wall 1 located downstream, the precipitation well 3 and the submersible sewage pump 4 can be arranged downstream of the last reaction wall 1.

[0027] The distance between the two reaction walls 1 can be far, the storage of the underground water between the two walls can be large, and the pumping speed of the single submersible sewage pump 4 is too slow to quickly lower the water level. A plurality of precipitation wells 3 are arranged between the adjacent two reaction walls 1, the plurality of precipitation wells 3 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the submersible sewage pump 4 is also provided with a plurality of precipitation wells 3.

[0028] In order to automatically pump the underground water when the underground water level is high, the underground water remediation system 100 further comprises a liquid level sensor 5 arranged in the precipitation well 3 and used for detecting the depth of the underground water. The underground water remediation system 100 further comprises a controller which receives the water level information through the liquid level sensor 5, controls the submersible sewage pump 4 to start when the water level is too high, and controls the submersible sewage pump 4 to stop when the water level is low.

[0029] Since the position for remediation of the underground water is generally in the wild and it is difficult to connect to the indoor power supply, the underground water remediation system 100 further comprises a solar panel 6 arranged outside the precipitation well 3 and used for receiving solar energy. The submersible sewage pump 4 has an internal power supply, and the solar panel 6 is electrically connected with the internal power supply. The solar panel 6 converts the solar energy into electric energy and stores the electric energy in the internal power supply, so that the submersible sewage pump 4 can work normally. The solar panel 6 can also supply power to the controller.

[0030] For the precipitation well 3, the height of the precipitation well 3 in the third direction is higher than that of the reaction wall 1. Since the depth of the reaction wall 1 is 2 m into the impermeable layer of the floor of the contaminated underground water and the top of the reaction wall 1 is flush with the original ground, the top of the precipitation well 3 protrudes from the ground, so that the well platform is convenient to build.

[0031] In order to improve the remediation effect on groundwater, the remediation agent 2 is arranged at different positions. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The remediation agent 2 is arranged in the cylinder of the dewatering well 3. When the groundwater passes through the dewatering well 3, the remediation of the groundwater by the remediation agent 2 is completed. A plurality of dewatering wells 3 are arranged along the second direction to remediate the groundwater at different positions along the second direction of the flow channel. In order to fill the remediation agent 2 in the interior of the dewatering well 3, the dewatering well 3 comprises an inner well cylinder 31 and an outer well cylinder 32, the outer well cylinder 32 is sleeved on the inner well cylinder 31, a first filling cavity 33 is formed between the inner well cylinder 31 and the outer well cylinder 32, the first filling cavity 33 is filled with the remediation agent 2, and the inner well cylinder 31 and the outer well cylinder 32 are provided with a plurality of first through holes, the diameter of the first through holes is smaller than the diameter of the remediation agent 2. The groundwater passes through the first through holes of the outer well cylinder 32, enters the first filling cavity 33 to contact with the remediation agent 2, and then passes through the first through holes of the inner well cylinder 31 to enter the interior of the dewatering well 3. The groundwater in the interior of the dewatering well 3 can also flow to the outside of the dewatering well 3 through the first through holes.

[0032] Specifically, the dewatering well 3 comprises an inner well cylinder 31 frame, an outer well cylinder 32 frame, and two first metal nets, the first metal net is detachably mounted on the inner well cylinder 31 frame to form the inner well cylinder 31, the first metal net is detachably mounted on the outer well cylinder 32 frame to form the outer well cylinder 32, and the mesh holes of the first metal net correspond to the first through holes. The inner well cylinder 31 frame, the outer well cylinder 32 frame, and the two first metal nets are metal structures, so that the overall mechanism is more stable and the hole collapse is prevented.

[0033] The remediation effect of the remediation agent 2 will become poor after a period of use, and the remediation agent 2 needs to be replaced. The existing technology is to replace the remediation agent 2 together with the components for installing the remediation agent 2. Therefore, the replacement of the remediation agent 2 requires a large replacement cost. The well body comprises an inner cylinder frame and an outer cylinder frame sleeved on the outer side of the inner cylinder frame, two first metal nets are detachably mounted on the inner cylinder frame and the outer cylinder frame, a first filling cavity 33 is formed between the two first metal nets, the first filling cavity 33 is filled with the remediation agent 2, and the mesh holes of the first metal net are smaller than the diameter of the remediation agent 2. After the dewatering well 3 is taken out from the ground, the first metal net is detached, the remediation agent 2 is replaced, the first metal net is mounted again after the replacement of the remediation agent 2, and the dewatering well 3 is installed at the position where it was installed before. The inner well cylinder 31 frame, the outer well cylinder 32 frame, and the two first metal nets are metal structures, so that the dewatering well 3 is stable in structure and has a long service life.

[0034] For the reaction wall 1, please refer to Figure 2In order to fill the reaction wall 1 with the repair agent 2 and enable the groundwater to permeate the reaction wall 1, the reaction wall 1 comprises a filling shell 11, the filling shell 11 has a second filling cavity 12 inside, and the filling shell 11 is provided with a plurality of second through holes penetrating in the first direction on both sides of the first direction, the repair agent 2 is filled in the second filling cavity 12, and the diameter of the repair agent 2 is greater than the diameter of the second through hole.

[0035] Specifically, the filling shell 11 comprises a metal mounting frame and two second metal nets, and the two second metal nets are respectively detachably mounted on both sides of the first direction of the metal mounting frame to form the second filling cavity 12, and the mesh of the second metal net corresponds to the second through hole. The groundwater enters the second filling cavity 12 through the mesh of one side of the second metal net and contacts the repair agent 2, and then flows out of the reaction wall 1 through the mesh of the other side of the second metal net. Wherein, the detachable mounting mode is that the metal mounting frame and the second metal net are connected by steel wires. The steel wire binding and fixed connection is a commonly used connection mode on the construction site, which is not only firm after installation, but also simple to operate. The filling shell 11 is a metal structure, so the filling shell 11 can be reused. After the reaction wall 1 is taken out, the binding steel wire is directly cut off by an angle grinder, the filling shell 11 is reserved, the repair agent 2 is replaced, and then the steel wire is bound again after replacement, and then the filling shell 11 is reinstalled in the ground.

[0036] The above is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
