Aisch (Namur) concerns the remediation of a deep (>11 mbgl) BTEX contamination in the unsaturated zone at a large high way petrol station. Significant residual contamination is still present after shallow excavation and horizontals SVE was conducted in the past.
After succesfull pilot testing, a vertical SVE system and innovative biological air abatement system was designed by Greensoil to effectively treat the 12T of residual contamination.
