"Groundwater - Making the invisible visible"
Provide on-site groundwater monitoring to reduce response times, anticipate pollution,
and prevent related risks.
We bring to market the next generation of groundwater
monitoring solutions.
IFLUX's passive sampling and real-time sensing technology can
explore
the dynamics of pollution flow
underground over certain periods of time.
Groundwater & mass flux concept
= Concentration x Darcy velocity
= C x q https://www.itrcweb.org/GuidanceDocuments/MASSFLUX1.pdf
iFLUX Passive sampling
80+ projects in 13 countries across EU towards cost-efficient site remediation
Patented and validated
Captures 90% of all pollution types
Accurate measurement of mass flux and direction of
spreading
Potential remediation cost reduction
up to 30%
PFAS in groundwater
The difficulties
Often encountered as large, dilute plumes: >1 mile in length 75% of plume is < 10 g/L
Extremely recalcitrant compounds they stay for ever difficult to remediate
Very mobile, low retardation
Low clean-up criteria: combined 0.07 g/L
Analytical issues

Case: PFAS - fire brigade training ground
Objectives : Perform iFLUX measurements
to design active barrier To follow-up efficiency of active barrier
Single barrier
To limit plume expansion Focussed injection on high flux zones
Amount liquid activated carbon Injection depth - preferential pathways

PFAS : design of plume barrier
Mass flux
Low and high conductivity 6 depths
Evaluation
High K - High flux Low K - Low flux Depending on parameter
and concentration
Results
Save up to 30 % of liquid activated carbon
Follow up barrier in layers with high flux
