ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION PROCESS FOR CONTAMINATED SITES

摘要

Process for assessing and remediation of a contaminated site comprising the steps of assessing the contaminated soil and/or groundwater at a contaminated site involving geophysical scans of the contaminated site and pH, microbial, salinity and metal testing of the soil and/or water contained in the site or other site specific parameters. Remediation of the soil and/or water at the site insitu is followed involving electro-kinetics of the contaminated site. Water testing is carried out during remediation to determine the effect of remediation. Following remediation, an assessment of the remediated soil and water involves electromagnetic scans of the contaminated site as well as pH, microbial, salinity and metal testing of the soil and water contained in the site Once the results of all tests are analysed, the electro-kinetic remediation can be deemed successful or optimized and continued for an extended duration. Effluent water collected from electrodes during remediation can be treated using electrodialysis or suitable technology and then used to flush the vadose zone or reinjected into the groundwater zone the water was extracted from.
