| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set, ensure proper modeling of the energy consumption associated with the pump and treatment system's operation. Account for the specific contaminants in the groundwater and the efficiency of the remediation process. Exclude any external water sources or discharges not directly related to the system's operation from the assessment. Adapt the data for local technological variations, energy mix, and specific environmental regulations associated with groundwater remediation in Jiangsu Province or similar locations. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The industrial process described refers to the operation of a pump and treatment (P&T) system for the remediation of contaminated groundwater. This system is typically applied in the environmental industry, specifically for groundwater decontamination at sites afflicted by hazardous materials, such as a closed pesticide manufacturing plant. The operation uses electric power to extract the contaminated groundwater, treat it to remove pollutants, and ultimately discharge the cleaned water back to the environment or for further use. |

| General comment on data set | The site is a closed pesticide manufacturing plant. The water table is located around −4 m (below the ground). The aquifer mainly consists of silty sand with approximately 20 m depth, and the aquitard containing silty clay is located at about −24 m to −33 m. Other hydrogeological parameters include water content 26.33 %, hydraulic conductivity 0.00105 cm/s, groundwater gradient 0.008, Darcy velocity 0.73 cm/d, and actual velocity 1.83 cm/d. High concentrations (hundreds of mg/L) of VOCs were detected in the groundwater including BTEX, vinyl chloride (VC), 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA), chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene. |
