PROJECT

Clonminam Industrial, Estate Facility, Portlaoise

Client: ENVA Ireland LTD

Location:  Clonminam Industrial, Estate Facility, Portlaoise

Contract Value: £29,650

Dunton Environmental utilizes Bio-accelerator technology to rapidly treat soils heavily contaminated with hazardous levels of hydrocarbons to enable its disposal off site to an inert landfill facility.

THE CHALLENGE

  • At one of ENVA’s facilities there were 1,100 tons of contaminated soils that required treatment.
  • The initial level of mineral oil was between 6,000 mg/kg – 10,000 mg/kg. The target level to achieve was 500 mg/kg to enable its disposal off site at an inert landfill facility.

OUR SOLUTION

  • Dunton started the treatment of the contaminated soils and streamed, screened, batched, treated, tested and validated the material after completion.
  • Technology used by Dunton included Bio-accelerator and Regener8 and after 5 weeks the soils   concentrations were reduced to the site target levels.
