SYNOPSIS

Due to increasing global soil and water pollution from current and historical industrial land uses as well as land changing to residential usage, there is an increased need to remediate lands formerly used by industry. The principal objective of soil and groundwater remediation is to remove contamination or free product and/or reduce the concentration of contaminants in the soil and/or groundwater to acceptable level based on the land use. Your remedial strategy will be based on the contamination of your site, the linkage to receptors and local regulations. Some of the basic remediation technologies applied are Air sparging, Bio-Sparging, Multi Phase Extraction, soil washing, thermal desorption or natural attenuation. Each of these technologies will be discussed on their application and limitations.
