Electromagnetic Borehole Flowmeter Testing at the H-Area Extraction Wells (U)

Abstract

Electromagnetic Borehole Flowmeter (EBF) testing has been used at several locations at the Savannah River Site to characterize hydraulic conductivity variation along well screens (Phifer 1996, Boman et al. 1997, Flach et al. 2000a and b, Flach et al. 2001). The objective of the EBF testing documented in this report is to expand the technology to include simultaneous characterization of conductivity, contaminant concentration, and mass flux profiles. The latter two parameters, especially mass flux, can be valuable information for remedial design.
