Port of antwerp oil spill soil remediation project case study
THE PROBLEM In 1990, 4500 m3 of silty sand/soil contaminated with mineral oil (diesel) to a level of 1500 ppm was treated on-site (Port of Antwerp) at the request of the client. OUR APPROACH On reviewing both the site and the scope of the project it was clear to Nordevco staff that the most cost effective and efficient approach would be to treat the soil in a modified soil pile/wet cell using ...

ST. Thomas, USVI diesel oil spill soil remediation project case study
The Problem Staff at a major four-star resort outside St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands spilled diesel fuel and kerosene during the transfer from a tanker truck to on-site storage tanks. Approximately 67.3 m3 of soil having an average concentration of 12,000 ppm was contaminated. Because there are no treatment facilities on the Island, the resort was facing significant costs to transport the ...

Heavy Metal Fixation Reagent for Soil - What is Heavy Metal Fixation?
Heavy Metal Fixation can be done by a chemical process that will prevent leaching of metals into the ground water during soil remediation projects. Different reagents are available which can stabilize lead, however different reagents required different cure times and addition of moisture, produce different amount of bulking, and produce material with different strengths, densities and other ...

SF Box – A tool for evaluating the effects on soil functions in remediation projects
Although remediation is usually aimed at reducing the risks posed by contaminants to human health and the environment, it is also desirable that the remediated soil within future green spaces is capable of providing relevant ecological functions, e.g. basis for primary production. While addressing a contamination problem by reducing contaminant concentration/amounts in the soil, the remedial ...

Lead Stabilization on Industrial Projects - What is Lead Stabilization?
Lead stabilization is the process of encapsulating lead particles created during industrial projects rendering them non-leachable to dispose of as non-hazardous waste. With the occurrence of recent lead stabilization issues, TDJ Group uses a chemically engineered product (Blastox®) to stabilize lead and other heavy metals with a one step process. The modern day is progressing in hazardous ...

Contaminated Soil Fixation
Contaminated soil is one that has heavy metals present within the project site. The EPA requires a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test to determine if metal contaminated soil needs to be managed as hazardous or non-hazardous waste. Soils exhibiting hazardous characteristics need to be disposed of at a facility permitted for that material at a high cost. The alternative is to ...
