SITE DESCRIPTION
Pumped volume | 740m³ |
Thermal technology | In-Situ Treatment |
Main contaminant | LNAPL |
| Site challenges | Deep groundwater table located 22 m |
Project Timeline | 2021 - now |
SOLUTION
Treatment Method | Deployment of SKIM 2-25 and SKIM 4-25 skimmers |
Treatment program | Long-term recovery program |
Contaminated Vapors Management | Dynamic vacuum skimming of free-phase hydrocarbons using DS 500-12D pumping units and dedicated skimmers, with on-site settling and storage of recovered product. |
Process control |
Recovery operations were continuously adjusted to account for groundwater level variations and changing free-phase thickness within the recovery wells. |
RESULTS
✅ Reduced free-phase thickness from up to 7 m to less than 10 cm in all wells |
✅ Demonstrated the effectiveness of dynamic vacuum skimming for highly viscous hydrocarbons at depths exceeding conventional vacuum pumping limits. |
