SITE DESCRIPTION
Treated Volume |
>93 m³ of recovered hydrocarbons |
Thermal technology | LNAPL Skimming (Non-Thermal Technology) |
Main contaminant |
Hydrocarbons, BTEX, aromatic and aliphatic compounds
|
| Site challenges |
groundwater fluctuations up to 2.5 m induced by a nearby river; deep aquifer (12 m bgl)
|
Project Timeline |
Approximately 4 years
|
SOLUTION
Treatment Method | Long-term LNAPL recovery using ATEX pumping units and adaptive skimming technology |
Treatment program | Installation of two DS 500-6D ATEX pumping units connected to 5,000 L storage tanks and eight SKIM 4-250 skimmers |
Contaminated Vapors Management | Not applicable |
Process control |
Automated operation controlled by groundwater levels, allowing skimmers to continuously follow aquifer fluctuations of up to 2.5 m
|
RESULTS
✅ More than 93 m³ of pure hydrocarbons recovered |
✅ Continuous operation despite groundwater fluctuations of up to 2.5 m |
✅ Long-term containment and recovery of historical petrochemical contamination |
