Project Description
In Situ Remediation for Contaminated Sites
Project period: 05/2013 - 11/2014
Up until a few years ago, the established approach to site remediation in Germany was to excavate contaminated soils, transport them to a remote treatment plant, and process the contaminated soil using energy or water intensive physical process systems. As a consequence,
there has been little experience with the full scale application of “in place” remediation technologies in Germany. This collaborative project entailed the proof of concept and pilot demonstration of environmental fracturing for the in situ remediation of contaminated sites in
Germany.
