Insulating company with phenol and oil contaminationSpills of non-polymerisated phenolicformaldehyde resulted in the phenol pollution of groundwater. The area around the storage tanks was contaminated with diesel fuel and heating oil. |
| Project description |
Client: Insulating company with phenol and oil contamination
Technology:
Soil bioremediation in-situ with bioaugmentation, nutrient addition through injection wells
infiltration galleries, active soil aeration system
groundwater pump and treat system, with activated carbon adsorption
Project Status: Completed
Media (quantity in m³):
Soil (in-situ): 3000m³ Groundwater: 3000m³
Contaminants:
diesel, heating, and lubrication oil, phenol
Project Manager: József Varga, Judit Tóth
Date of operation: 1994-1996
Cleanup goals (=contaminant concentration after treatment)
Residual petrol hydrocarbons in soil: 500 ppm, in groundwater <0.1 mg/l
Phenol in groundwater 0.05 mg/l
Contaminant concentration before treatment:
petrol hydrocarbon contaminated soil treating in-situ 500-5000 ppm
in groundwater dissolved diesel hydrocarbon 1-3 mg/l, phenol 0.5-2 mg/l
