Preventive methods -Remove and/or isolate sulfur.
-Remove oxygen from water sealing.
-Remove oxygen from dry sealing.
-Alkaline additives.
-Bactericides.
Containing methods -Avoid water flow.
-Permeable reactive barriers (PRB) of reactive material located in the path of contaminants, considered as a passive treatment method.
