What Does PRB Stand For?
PRB stands for Permeable Reactive Barrier
PRB, or Permeable Reactive Barrier, refers to an innovative environmental remediation technology designed to treat contaminated groundwater. It consists of a subsurface barrier made from reactive materials that facilitate the degradation or immobilization of pollutants as groundwater flows through it. PRBs are effective for managing various contaminants, including heavy metals, chlorinated solvents, and nutrients, while allowing the natural flow of water, making them a sustainable solution for addressing groundwater quality issues.
