The LIFE SURFING project aims to demonstrate the field feasibility of a soil decontamination technique in soils cointaining residual Dense Non-Aquous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) of a high pollutant mixture of multicomponent organic contaminants and POPs. Esta técnica se desarrollará en un proyecto de demostración en el que se combinarán técnicas de oxidación química conocidas con la acción de los surfactantes (prueba SURFING).Objective
The detailed objectives of the project are
- Objective OB-1: To DEMONSTRATE the applicability of the SURFING test for the removal and decontamination of DNAPL and the transferability of the already performed laboratory test to field.
- Objetivos OB-2: To reduce the risk for the health and the environment, generated by the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) existing at the site, by means of the removal of the residual DNAPL at the demonstration project area.
- Objective OB-3: To guarantee the reduction of the environmental risks and to analyse the full scale applicability of the technique from a technical, economic and environmental point of view, as well as to evaluate the reduction of the pollution for the health and the environment in case of a future full-scale implementation, considering the information gathered during the monitoring of the demonstration test.
- Objective OB-4: To disseminate the results of the project to stakeholders, as well as the raising of a general public awareness of to the problem of such type of contamination to the, paying special attention to the project surrounding area, affected by the contamination.
- Objective OB-5: To innovate the application of the surfactant-enhanced chemical oxidation technology in DNAPL contaminants.
- Objective OB-6: To analyse the replicability and transferability of the technique to other locations, by the definition of a strategy that allows to multiply the impact of the results obtained for their use in other locations.
- Objective OB-7: To create a network to share, interchange and transfer knowledge and experiences for projects related to sites affected by organochlorines, POPs, POP pesticides or POPs pesticides and other pesticides soil contamination.
