Dynamic LNAPL Skimming for Fuel Oil Contamination in Seneffe, Belgium

Following a fuel oil tank filling incident, Haemers deployed a Dynamic Skimming system to remediate hydrocarbon contamination in Seneffe, Belgium. Over six months, groundwater pumping and skimming successfully recovered the free-phase fuel oil from the affected area.

SITE DESCRIPTION

       Treated Volume

  675 m³ of contaminated soil

          Thermal technology

LNAPL Skimming (Non-Thermal Technology)

       Main contaminant

  Fuel Oil

        Site challenges

  Free-phase fuel oil contamination caused by a tank filling incident requiring continuous groundwater pumping

        Project Timeline

  6 months




SOLUTION

          Treatment Method

Dynamic LNAPL Skimming combined with groundwater pumping  

          Treatment program

Installation of 3 skimmers operating over a treatment depth of 2 m with continuous groundwater extraction for six months  

         Contaminated Vapors                          Management

Not applicable

       Process control

  Continuous groundwater pumping and skimmer operation to maximize free-phase fuel oil recovery



RESULTS

✅          675 m³ of contaminated soil successfully remediated

✅           Complete 6-month groundwater pumping and LNAPL                            recovery program

✅            Fuel oil contamination effectively removed using Dynamic                     Skimming technology
