1、Designation: E2856 111Standard Guide forEstimation of LNAPL Transmissivity1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2856; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenthese

2、s indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorial changes were made throughout in January 2012.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides field data collection and calculationmethodologies for the estimation of li

3、ght non-aqueous phaseliquid (LNAPL) transmissivity in unconsolidated porous sedi-ments. The methodologies presented herein may, or may notbe, applicable to other hydrogeologic regimes (for example,karst, fracture flow). LNAPL transmissivity represents thevolume of LNAPL (L3) through a unit width (L)

4、 of aquifer perunit time (t) per unit drawdown (L) with units of (L2/T).LNAPL transmissivity is a directly proportional metric forLNAPL recoverability whereas other metrics such as apparentLNAPL thickness gauged in wells do not exhibit a consistentrelationship to recoverability. The recoverability f

5、or a givengauged LNAPL thickness in a well will vary between differentsoil types, LNAPL types or hydrogeologic conditions. LNAPLtransmissivity accounts for those parameters and conditions.LNAPL transmissivity values can be used in the following fiveways: (1) Estimate LNAPL recovery rate for multiple

6、 tech-nologies; (2) Identify trends in recoverability via mapping; (3)Applied as a leading (startup) indicator for recovery; (4)Applied as a lagging (shutdown) indicator for LNAPL recov-ery; and (5) Applied as a robust calibration metric for multi-phase models (Hawthorne and Kirkman, 2011 (1)2and IT

7、RC(2). The methodologies for LNAPL transmissivity estimationprovided in this document include short-term aquifer testingmethods (LNAPL baildown/slug testing and manual LNAPLskimming testing), and long-term methods (that is, LNAPLrecovery system performance analysis, and LNAPL tracertesting). The mag

8、nitude of transmissivity of any fluid in thesubsurface is controlled by the same variables (that is, fluidpore space saturation, soil permeability, fluid density, fluidviscosity, the interval that LNAPL flows over in the formationand the gravitational acceleration constant). A direct math-ematical r

9、elationship exists between the transmissivity of afluid and the discharge of that fluid for a given induceddrawdown. The methodologies are generally aimed at measur-ing the relationship of discharge versus drawdown for theoccurrence of LNAPL in a well, which can be used to estimatethe transmissivity

10、 of LNAPL in the formation. The focus,therefore, is to provide standard methodology on how to obtainaccurate measurements of these two parameters (that is,discharge and drawdown) for multi-phase occurrences toestimate LNAPL transmissivity.1.2 Organization of this Guide:1.2.1 Section 2 presents docum

Significance and Use4.1 Application:4.1.1 LNAPL transmissivity is an accurate metric for un-derstanding LNAPL recovery, is directly proportional toLNAPL recoverability and tracking remediation progress to-wards residual LNAPL saturation.4.1.2 LNAPL transmissivity can be used to estimate

39、 the rateof recovery for a given drawdown from various technologies.4.1.3 LNAPL transmissivity is not an intrinsic aquiferproperty but rather a summary metric based on the aquiferproperties, LNAPL physical properties, and the magnitude ofLNAPL saturation over a given interval of aquifer.4.1.4 LNAPLt

40、ransmissivity will vary over time with chang-ing conditions such as, seasonal fluctuations in water table,changing hydrogeologic conditions and with variability inLNAPL impacts (that is, interval that LNAPL flows over in theformation and LNAPL pore space saturation) within theformation.4.1.5 Any obs

41、erved temporal or spatial variability in valuesderived from consistent data collection and analysis methods ofLNAPL transmissivity is not erroneous rather is indicative ofthe actual variability in subsurface conditions related to theparameters encompassed by LNAPL transmissivity (that is,fluid pore

42、space saturation, soil permeability, fluid density,fluid viscosity, and the interval that LNAPL flows over in theformation).4.1.6 LNAPL transmissivity is a more accurate metric forevaluating recoverability and mobile LNAPL than gaugedLNAPL thickness. Gauged LNAPL thickness does not accountfor soil p

43、ermeability, magnitude of LNAPL saturation aboveresidual saturation, or physical fluid properties of LNAPL (thatis, density, interfacial tension, and viscosity).4.1.7 The accurate calculation of LNAPL transmissivityrequires certain aspects of the LNAPL Conceptual Site Model(LSCM) to be completely un

44、derstood and defined in order tocalculate LNAPL drawdown correctly. The methodologies fordevelopment of the LSCM are provided in Guide E2531. Thegeneral conceptual site model aspects applicable to this guideinclude:4.1.7.1 Equilibrium fluid levels (for example, air/LNAPLand LNAPL/water).4.1.7.2 Soil

47、itions. Any differences in evaluation are discussed inSection 5.4.2 PurposeThe methods used to calculate LNAPL trans-missivity have been published over the past 20 years; howeverlittle effort has been focused on providing quality assurance forindividual tests or refinement of field procedures. In ad
