Quartier Glashüttenareal Achern

Biological in-situ remediation

Parallel to the preparation of the residential area "Neues Wohnen an der Acher", groundwater remediation was successfully carried out by MuP Umwelttechnik GmbH.

Based on the available documents and our own investigation services, we carried out a contaminated site and groundwater remediation. Hydrogeological and environmental analytical investigations for a comprehensive understanding of the hydrogeological conditions laid the foundation for determining the extent of the focus of the damage. Through additional groundwater exploration and immission pumping tests, we were able to narrow down the extent of the GW plume. Preliminary tests were carried out in our laboratory to determine the applicability of in-situ remediation methods (ISCO / biodegradability) and to determine framework parameters. After just under 1 ½ years of remediation operation and a further 6 months of monitoring, we were able to successfully complete our biological in-situ remediation of the groundwater on the former industrial site in Achern at the end of May 2020 and dismantle the plant technology.
