Project name: Geldrop (Peijnenburg): CVOC ** Case submitted by: A&G Milieutechniek bv Contact: Peter Middeldorp Address: Postbus 660 5140 AR Waalwijk Telephone number: +31 (0)416 - 344 044 Email-address: peter.middeldorp@aengbedrijven.nl
Location
Country: The Netherlands City/region/county: Geldrop / Noord-Brabant (future) use of location: Industrial Built-up location during the active remediation phase?: Yes
Technique
Explanation technique: Groundwater recirculation system with the addition of molasses and nutrients. Since the dechlorination by nature does not exceed CIS, dechlorinating bacteria (D. ethenogenes) are added to the site to stimulate dechlorination. Also other remediation techniques applied?: No After care needed?: Yes, monitoring stable final situation Rationale for the chosen technique: The contaminated area is cultivated. Biological degradation occurs, but is not complete and not fast enough to avoid spread of the contamination. Therefore in situ stimulation with the use of natural degradation (by infiltration of a carbon source), nutrients and CVOC-degrading bacteria have been applied. A recirculation of groundwater has been applied to keep the contamination at it’s place.
