On former industrial land, high levels of environmentally hazardous heavy metals and other toxins are often hidden in the soil. Soil remediation issues are complex, and it is crucial to understand how different treatment methods affect a contaminated site. Are the contaminants broken down? Can they be permanently immobilized in the soil, or does the treatment instead risk spreading pollutants to air and water? Being able to select the best method in advance, before outdoor pilot tests begin, can save significant resources.
Industridoktorn® works hands-on with projects where we test various remediation methods at laboratory scale (bench scale). If you need to simulate methods in the lab, we have the capability to both run tests and analyze what happens chemically in the soil during remediation. Contact us if you have such questions!
