NEW ABSTRACT : ISTD FOR THE TREATMENT OF VOCI-CONTAMINATED SOIL FROM A FORMER ALUMINUM FACTORY®

The object of this article is to study the application of In-Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD) for the treatment of VOCl-contaminated soils (i.e. DCE, TCE, PCE) in urban areas. A concrete case of soil remediation project that Haemers Technologies® has conducted in the residential area of Bonheiden (Belgium) is also presented. This abstract has been written by Yannick Lolivier , Aline Jordens, Hatem Saadaoui and Jan Haemers. If you want to know more about it, you can find their work below ! Read the...

SITE UPDATE : KALINA POUND, POLAND

We recently celebrated the successful end of our combined remedation with our partner REMEA PL ! The site was contaminated with PAH and BTEX and we have remediated it by applying Ex-Situ Thermal Desorption (ESTD). Thanks to both teams for this amazing work !

SITE UPDATE : GELA REFINERY, ITALY

We have finished the treatment of the last zone (24 zones treated) of VASCA A in the Ex-discharge of the Gela refinery in Sicily. Waiting for the results of the last zones, our client has validated more than 85% (15% still waiting for results). We applied In-Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD) to remediate the soil contaminated with Heavy Hydrocarbons and Mercury (150.000 Tons). The desired treatment temperature was 250°C and an average of 200 burners were heating to treat 9500 tons of soil per...

NEW ABSTRACT : THERMOREACT®

Haemers Technologies has developed a new product : the Thermoreact®, already registered and patented ! The Thermoreact® can be used in combination with Thermal Desorption systems. It is placed around the extraction tubes, in order to neutralize polluted vapors on the ground and form inert compounds. Recently, our Innovation Team, Aline Jordens, Ysaline Depasse, Hatem Saadaoui and Jan Haemers, has written a new abstract entitled “Thermoreact® - An innovative remediation product for In Situ neutralization of halogens and sulphur during Thermal Desorption”. If you...

SITE UPDATE : STRASBOURG, FRANCE

We have finished the treatment of the 2nd pile on our site in Strasbourg, France. Our client has validated the results of the treatment and the facility was shut down in early December. The next step will be the dismantling, scheduled in January. We applied Ex-Situ Thermal Desorption (ESTD) to remediate the soil contaminated with Hydrocarbons and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The desired treatment temperature was 250°C. 75 burners were heated to treat 2000m³ of soil. We are working on this project with Lingenheld...

SPONSORSHIP: The SaintéLyon

On December 3 & 4, our valiant teammate Jean Rhoné took on the challenge to participate to one of the oldest trail races in France, the SaintéLyon, which links Saint Etienne to Lyon via trails and roads at night. Jean completed it in 7 hours and 37 minutes. It was 78 km with 2200 D+ elevation, which made the run one of the most physically demanding race he’s ever done. He finished the race at the 56° position out of 7000 runners. But...

EVENTS: CAMERA FORENSE AMBIENTALE

On early December, Jan Haemers and Youssef Ourrid had the opportunity to attend and participate to the roundtable on "Good Practices of Circular Economy and New Job Opportunities", organized by Camera Forense Ambientale (CFA) at the Teatro Eschilo di Gela. Following the successful completion of a major In Situ thermal desorption project of Vasca A at the Gela refinery, it was the right place and time to reflect on future remediation plans in Italy and build on the successes already achieved in this iconic project.

SITE UPDATE: LUCCIANA, FRANCE

We have launched the treatment of the first of the two batches of our site in Lucciana, France. We applied In-Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD) to remediate the soil contaminated with Volatile Organic Halogenated Compounds. The desired treatment temperature is 85°C for a treatment depth of 5 to 13 meters. 33 burners are heated to treat the first batch and 51 will be heated to treat the second batch. We are collaborating with Englobe France on this site remediation for EdF.

EVENTS AND FAIRS: NICOLE

We are attending NICOLE from November 24 to 25, in Athens, Greece. NICOLE is a leading forum on sustainable soil management between universities, industries and companies that provide sustainable services in Europe. As you may already know, we are members of NICOLE's organization! We will be meeting with all the other members of the organisation during a working time to discuss on the development and application of sustainable technologies. You can catch us on Thursday and Friday during the Common Forum joint...
