TOUGH2/EOS7CA was used to address the origin of patchy emissions at the ZERT shallow-release experiment.

A three-dimensional grid (3D) wasHigh-flux regions correlate A three-dimensional grid (3D) was developed that captures the changes in elevation of the pipe.

High flux regions correlate with packer locations.

• Patches are correlated with packer locations and high-Patches are correlated with packer locations and highelevation regions in each zone in the soil material.

• With more packers (i.e., more zones), there are still early breakthroughs but overall emission is less patchy.

• Therefore, simulations support the hypothesis that along-pipe flo of CO p ards ithin each one leads to an

pipe flow of CO2 upwards within each zone leads to an effective point-source release that creates a persistent patchy emission.

CO2 impact study on shallow groundwater Electric Power Research Institute, LLNL

• Scope of Work– Simulate CO2 intrusion into USDW– Observe effects in the field– Model experiment Plant Daniel Test Sitep

• Purpose of StudyAddress stakeholder concerns– Address stakeholder concerns

– Identify indicator parameters– Understand abatement options

Lab studies and modeling suggests that CO2 intrusion into aquifers may mobilize naturally-occurring metals and compromising quality of water. Field pilot projects provide field test-occurring metals and compromising quality of water. Field pilot projects provide field test

beds to understand the reality of this issue.
