Copenhagen – Denmark

The contamination was due to leaks in 5 underground oil tanks inside a basement of an ancient hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark between October 2020 and April 2021. The project is in an urban area, in the middle of the city of Copenhagen with high-level constraints on noise and smells management. 37 Diesel burners – reburn technology. 250°C at the cold points 100ppm (C10-C40) Soil Temperature every meter 4 points from 0 to 3m 2 points from 0 to 5m October 2020 and April 2021 The treatment has been...

Saint-Nazaire – France

This site was part of a rehabilitation project in an urban area of the city of Saint-Nazaire (France). The contamination of the site was presumably caused by the previous activities of a gas plant. Two ESTD piles (respectively 1.500m³ and 2000m³ of soil) were built to treat the contaminated soil. 75 Gas Fired burners with the reburn technology. Hydrocarbons C10-C40 < 2.250 mg/kg BTEX < 1.6 mg/kg PAH < 500 mg/kg Soil temperature in cold points Soil Pressure Burner combustion gases Chimney Emissions (with activated carbon filter) October 2019 to February...

Noroxo – France

The whole Noroxo site covered about 34 hectares. It was located between a commercial area and an agricultural area. In order to build the stockpiles (ESTD), 7.566 m² located at the extreme North West of the site were allocated for the thermal treatment. As the site contained explosive ordnance from WW1, a UXO clearance was performed prior and during all excavation works. Residual explosives were treated with the soil (ESTD) after ordnance removal. The main issue with high concentrated spots on a...

Sambreville – Belgium

We are carrying out a study to clean up materials from the screening of construction waste by Bruco. These materials are composed of small organic waste, PVC, plastic, insulation, polystyrene, etc. The objective of this project is to analyze the ability of thermal desorption to clean up these materials containing construction waste. Organohalogens are organic chemicals that contain one or more bonds between carbon and a halogen (chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine). EOX (Extractable Organohalogens) are the organohalogen compounds that can be extracted...

Beijing – China

The site was in a major former steel and coking factory, covering an area of 8.63 km², located in the west of Beijing (China), for which the industrial activity was stopped in 2006. These types of sites present a big issue in terms of ground pollution, due to the industrial activity, and therefore space reconversion. In this case, the former industrial site is to be transformed into a brand-new park for the next Winter Olympics of 2022. The first phase of...

Gela – Italy

The site is located in the Refinery of Gela (Italy) that belongs to the Company ENI S.p.A. The treatment takes place in the ex-discharge of the refinery divided in 2 zones, that contained refinery ole fins deposited in the past (called FNP). This area, named Vasca A, is situated within the former landfill sites (also called Vecchie Discariche) in the Isola 32 of the Refinery. The objective of the full project is to treat by thermal desorption the zone for single...

Wuwei – Shangaï

The site is in QiLianShan Road 145, Shanghai, China in a 90 000m² field in the city. The location was once occupied by a dying company which spilled various contaminants in the ground. The project is a pilot test on a 25m² at 14m depth (heating zone) with 11 gas burners (V3/V4), a vapor treatment unit and a liquid treatment unit. Construction of the watertight wall In order to isolate the treatment zone from the ground water a wall was built in the...

Vedbaek – Denmark

The site is located at LINDEVANGSVEJ 8, DK 2950 Vedbaek, Denmark. It is a private house located in a residential area, north of Copenhagen. Contamination is partially located by the house under the terrace and mainly in the garden. The target zone is contaminated with mineral oil (C10-C40). The estimation of the diesel amount present in soil are 12000 to 15000 liters and its total mass is estimated to 10800 kg. The soil analysis results showed that the average concentration is...

Rue de la science PROJECT in european center

Rue de la Science – Brussels

The project took place in Brussels, in the basement of an office building situated in the heart of the European district. The pollution is due to the leakage of two oil tanks located beneith the underground car park. The soil was polluted with hydrocarbons. An average concentration of 18.000 mg/kg DM. The depth was 14 meters and the total contaminated surface was 50 m². Planning : Mobilization : 4 weeks Treatment : 5 weeks Analyses & reports : 2 weeks Demobilization: 2 weeks The objective of...

Xinxin – China

The site is located in the Province of Gansu in People’s Republic of China, near the town of Qingyang. The treatment zone is in an industrial area. The contaminated soils come from various sites in the region. The project is setup in a hangar on a surface of about 250m² with 9 diesel burners and a vapor treatment unit. The treatment area is impacted with various solvents. The targeted concentration at the end of the treatment is 3000 mg/kg. The treatment...
