Innovative REMediation and assessment TEChnologies for contaminated soil and groundwater

The project team proposes to conduct novel and applied research that will both advance the state-of-the-science in groundwater remediation engineering and improve the methods for application of remediation technologies in the field. Special emphasis will be paid to contamination in low perme-able media with chlorinated solvents and treatment of source zones with complex mixtures of con-taminants (including chlorinated solvents) with different physico-chemical properties. In addition methods for remediation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s) and mobile heavy metals will be explored and tested with regards to their ability for contaminant stabilisation as well as reduction of risk.
