Litoclean Galicia has demonstrated the effectiveness of pilot tests in a complete remediation project.
Litoclean’s delegation in Galicia is working on a remediation project that covers the entire process, from the evaluation of the conceptual model to the action, in which it has demonstrated the effectiveness of pilot tests in this type of work.
This is a site affected by chlorinated compounds, both in soil and groundwater, at significant depths. After completing the analysis phase, in which a detailed analytical investigation was carried out, several pilot tests were conducted to assess the feasibility of decontamination, which allowed testing the effectiveness of the planned actions.
In this case, pilot tests have been carried out in the vacuum field and hydraulic pumping, as well as treatability tests in the laboratory to evaluate the effectiveness, on the one hand, of targeted bioremediation processes and, on the other, of different types of oxidants.
The results obtained in the first phase of action have been positive and have demonstrated the usefulness of pilot tests to evaluate the feasibility of remediation actions, which optimizes time and resources in the medium and long term.
Litoclean is an ENAC accredited entity for the inspection of soils and associated groundwater, with several centers, including Galicia, a territory in which it is currently carrying out more than 30 remediation actions, which positions it as a reference consultancy in the area and demonstrates the commitment of the industries and the Xunta de Galicia for sustainability, safety and the environment.
