Abstract
Chapter 9 is the third and final chapter on liquids addition system types, with a focus on horizontal systems. Buried trenches, blankets, and combination systems are discussed as the most common horizontal system types, with a companion evaluation of potential benefits and drawbacks of each. The latter portion of the chapter focuses on design techniques and approaches for horizontal systems, including tools to help identify and design horizontal systems over a variety of operating conditions and site constrains. Considerations for operation, monitoring and closure are presented at the end of the chapter.
