Summary

An on-site remediation project combining an excavation of heavily tar contaminated materials in a ventilated tent with a two step thermal treatment plant, has been demonstrated in a densely populated area at an old gasworks site in Copenhagen. The project has shown, that the tent effectively protects the surroundings against toxic effects and smells which is released under the excavation activities. Further it has been demonstrated that the thermal treatment has a cleaning effect greater than 99,8 %.

Kurzfassung

Auf dem Grundstück eines stillgelegten Gaswerkes, daß in einem dicht bebauten Gebiet in Kopenhagen liegt, wurde ein on-site Reinigungsprojekt vorgeführt, daß das Aufgraben von mit Teer stark verschmutzten Materialien in einem ventilierten Zelt, kombiniert mit einer 2-stufigen termischen Behandlungsanlage, zeigte. Das Projekt zeigte auch, daß das Zelt die Umgebung effektiv vor Gerüchen schützt, die bei den Grabarbeiten auftreten. Außerdem wurde hierbei gezeigt, daß die termische Behandlung einen Reinigungeffekt von mehr als 99,8% hat.

Résumé

Un projet d’assainissement in situ combinant d’une part l’excavation de matériaux fortement pollués au goudron dans une tente aérée et d’autre part un traitement de deux étapes en usine a été effectué sur le terrain d’une ancienne usine à gaz de Copenhague, dans une zone à forte densité de population. Le projet a montré que la tente protège efficacement les alentours contre les effets toxiques et les odeurs libérées par les activités d’excavation. Il a en outre été démontré que le traitement thermal produit un effet de nettoyage supérieur à 99,8%.
