SOIL & GROUNDWATER SOLUTIONSDiscuss an overseas soil projectPATENT-BASED PCB TECHNOLOGY / SITE-SPECIFIC VALIDATION
Soil remediation for complex contamination
From investigation and treatability testing to in-situ treatment, adsorption and groundwater control.
MEISTER plans each project around the contaminant profile, soil and groundwater conditions, land use, regulatory criteria and verification method. The technology disclosed in international patent publication WO2011074120A1 provides a technical basis for evaluating persistent organochlorine contamination, including dioxins and PCBs.
PATENT EXAMPLE / CHAMPION DATA
99.33% reduction in dioxin TEQ
81,122 → 543 pg-TEQ/gRecorded after six weeks in Example 1 of international patent publication WO2011074120A1. A second sample decreased from 771.8 to 23.3 pg-TEQ/g (96.98%).Soil remediation for complex contamination
Integrated project design
Investigation, bench testing, treatment design, construction and verification are connected in one project plan.
Treatment selected by contaminant
Decomposition, immobilization, adsorption, separation and controlled disposal are evaluated according to the target substance.
In-situ and groundwater control
Solutions can be designed to limit excavation while managing contaminant migration and groundwater.
02 / FOCUS
Vietnam dioxin remediation: a verification-led proposal
PCBs, PCDDs and PCDFs are structurally related persistent chlorinated compounds; some PCBs are classified as dioxin-like PCBs. Based on our patented PCB technology, we propose staged treatability testing for dioxin-contaminated soil, followed by third-party analysis and a site-specific process design.
