Water Quality and Production Optimization
Increasingly stringent standards for trace levels of contaminants such as chromium, arsenic, nitrates, and TCP, in combination with a surge in demand for groundwater resources, have led to a need for more efficient and precise well characterization. Under exclusive license to BESST, Inc. from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Dye Tracer system uses an NSF 60 certified rhodamine dye solution injected at varying depths within a well while the well is still operating at a steady state.
Offline wells present their own challenges to successful wellfield management, but can also serve as valuable tools when gathering data for subsurface characterization. In order to measure the ambient flow and chemistry within offline wells, BESST has developed its Ambient Flow Profiling Service to better characterize flow and mass flux under non-pumping conditions. The Ambient Flow Profiling Service utilizes the dye tracer system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey that injects small quantities of diluted rhodamine dye solution into the well.
BESST Inc. has integrated the practice of test well investigations with the precision and granularity of BESST’s proprietary dynamic flow tracer and chemistry profiling to confidently inform development of production wells. A dynamic, steady state flow and chemistry profile is employed in a long-screened test well with a custom injection and sampling plan to best characterize the subsurface environment in tandem with lithologic and geophysical data.
