Managing the clogging of groundwater wells

Copyright © 2015
M E R Deed and M Preene Mike Deed, Geoquip Water Solutions Ltd, UK, and ! Martin Preene, Preene Groundwater Consulting Ltd, UK! Groundwater wells are common to many civil engineering schemes and are used for a wide range of purposes such as construcBon dewatering, open loop geothermal systems or alternaBve water supplies for buildings and faciliBes. Whatever the applicaBon, well performance must be opBmised and high levels of operaBonal efficiency and service availability achieved. However, the benefits of proacBve planned maintenance of groundwater wells on civil engineering projects are not widely recognised. Typically, wells have a near surface secBon of well liner, from which groundwater is excluded. The deeper part of the well is the permeable well screen, through which water enters the well. Water enters the well exclusively through the well screen, and it is here that clogging processes occur. Pumping lowers the water level in the well by an amount known as the ‘drawdown’. This comprises the drawdown in the aquifer and the ‘well loss’, a head difference between the inside and outside of the well that represents the resistance to flow of water into the well. An inefficient (clogged) well will have a greater well loss than an unclogged well, and therefore a greater drawdown for a given pumped flow rate. Clogging can become so severe that the yield of the well is reduced, so that less water is available to users, or so that dewatering is less effecBve. CLOGGING AND ENCRUSTATION PROCESSES A groundwater well is a complex hydrodynamic environment. As water passes through the well and the downstream pumping system, it undergoes pressure changes, temperatures changes, is exposed to the atmosphere and comes into contact with arBficial surfaces in well screens and pumps. This can create ideal condiBons for clogging to occur. Three main clogging processes occur in and around wells: physical clogging, where parBculate maWer is re-‐arranged; bacterial clogging, where bacterial colonies grow in the well, feeding from dissolved material in the well; and chemical clogging, where mineral compounds derived from dissolved material in the water are deposited. The focus of this paper is on chemical and bacterial problems. Iron-‐related deposits on well pumping equipment Bacterial clogging: Iron bacteria are one of the most common clogging processes in wells. Their life cycle oxidises the soluble ferrous iron (Fe2+) in the groundwater to an insoluble ferric form (Fe3+). The potenBally turbulent, oxygenated environment in a well and pumping system creates an ideal environment for this to occur. The bacteria produce a biofilm, typically a slimy or gelaBnous red-‐brown deposit (commonly known as biofouling) that can be difficult to remove. Chemical clogging: Occurs by chemical precipitaBon induced by the natural pressure release on the water as it moves from the formaBon into the well bore and to the pump, combined with the oxygen available in the well. The most commonly reported chemical encrustaBons are iron oxyhydroxides, sulphides and calcium carbonates. Carbonate clogging occurs when the natural carbon dioxide dissolved in soluBon is released, resulBng in an increase in water pH. As the pH increases in waters with high levels of calcium carbonates, rapid precipitaBon of white or pale grey calcareous deposits occur in the well and pump. Managing the Clogging of Groundwater Wells! STRATEGIES TO MANAGE CLOGGING AND ENCRUSTATION Chemical treatments are widely used to rehabilitate wells; many products and commercial treatments, are available (see table below, which is based on US Army Corps of Engineers 2000). Research has shown that chemical rehabilitaBon can provide 40 to 60% of the total gain during a combined chemical and hydro-‐ or mechanical rehabilitaBon (Houben 2001). The challenge for the well owner or operator is that each site will have unique aspects, requiring care in the choice of rehabilitaBon methods and chemical agents if well performance is to be returned to close to its original levels. However, rehabilitaBon alone is not the opBmal soluBon. The most effecBve programmes to manage well performance typically incorporate a monitoring and measurement plan alongside a regular chemical treatment. The elements of a well rehabiltaBon can be illustrated by reference to the BoreSaver well management programme intended to return performance to as close to the original drilled capacity as possible and to help maintain a conBnual, problem-‐ free water supply. The elements of such a programme are: Pre-‐rehabilitaAon survey: CollaBon of operaBonal data (pumping rates, water levels and water quality), visual inspecBon of pumps following removal, and a downhole camera survey. Assessment of borehole condiAon and required rehabilitaAon: Review and analysis of key well performance parameters and benchmarking against historical data for each well and wellfield. RehabilitaAon treatment: A combinaBon of mechanical and chemical methods is usually the most effecBve approach. Mechanical treatments can include: scrubbing; surging; water or air jedng; vibraBon. The chemical treatment component requires suitable treatment products and specialist rehabilitaBon equipment to deliver the products to the relevant secBon of the well screen. Post-‐treatment survey: Downhole camera survey and monitoring of iniBal post-‐treatment pumping. ConAnuing monitoring and maintenance: To provide the data to allow future rehabilitaBon treatments to be planned and scheduled. SelecBon of the appropriate chemical treatments is important to ensure that they are effecBve against the type of clogging idenBfied, have the necessary regulatory approvals and the post-‐treatment residues are harmless and can be safely disposed of.
