Deep aquifer re-injection in a Mediterranean climate

Action:
Soil and groundwater remediation.

Location:
Spain

Customer:
Confidential

Methods:
Pump&treat with reinjection

Products:
TPH, BTEX, PAH, cumene and surfactants

Background information

Since the 1970s, there has been an open file on the site for the presence of surfactants.
In 2018, there is also a record of hydrocarbon contamination in the deep aquifer (65-70 m).

Objective and limitations

Reduction of TPH, BTEX, PAH concentrations, cumene and surfactants.

Methodology applied

Pump&treat with reinjection.
Generating a convective cell between the devices that exploit the water and those that re-inject the treated water into the aquifer itself, reducing the water footprint.

Stages

Treatability tests – execution of wells – pumping – water sampling – verification of objectives.
