Can the GORETM Modules be placed in saturated soils, sediment and water?
Yes! The waterproof, vapor permeable membrane construction of the module allows it to be placed in virtually any aqueous or saturated soil environment. Dissolved contaminants present partition to vapor, move across the membrane and onto the adsorbent. Modules can be used to monitor trends in groundwater quality by placing the module in the screened intervals of monitoring wells. The hydrophobic nature of the standard membrane and the small pore size, prevent liquid water from penetrating the membrane to depths of 30 feet of water.
