| Use advice for data set | When using this dataset, ensure to model the in-situ groundwater remediation process accurately by considering the unique installation methodology of the caisson-based gate, its diameter, and the nature of the reactive materials used within the gate. The dataset includes all major raw materials and essential energy consumption, which should be accounted for in the life cycle assessment. Users should note the functional unit of the process – a single operation – and its application to a simulated polluted site for PRB installation. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The caisson-based gate described is employed as a component within a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) system for in-situ groundwater remediation. Its function is to direct contaminated groundwater through an impermeable funnel into the gate, where it is then treated by passing through reactive materials within the gate. The term 'caisson-based' refers to the installation process of the gate, which involves the use of the caisson method, a technique that allows for the construction of the gate in an underwater environment. |

| General comment on data set | The gate is one of the components of the groundwater PRB system. The impermeable funnel guides or collects polluted groundwater flow into the gate. The gate is filled with active materials to dispose of the groundwater flowing through it. Caisson-based gate refers to a gate installed using the caisson-based method. |
