Remediation

Remediation project

Over the last 20 years, CESI has developed significant experience in soil and groundwater environmental remediation at industrial sites, in Italy and around the world.

CESI designs remediation interventions at every stage of the project (from feasibility to execution. Our approach embraces innovation and sustainability in the choice of remediation technology and includes the following services:

  • Evaluation of the available market technologies, their costs and benefits
  • Identification of innovative technologies and their applicability
  • Cost-benefit evaluation of new technologies and comparison with market technologies
  • Ranking of potential remediation solutions using appropriate decision support systems and multi-criteria analysis (for example, EPA screening matrix). The ranking considers:
  • Potential to improve the site
  • Ensuring the efficiency of the remediation process
  • Reducing the environmental impact and the ecological footprint of remediation interventions
  • Improving technological innovation
  • Lab testing the performance of the relevant remediation technology or product, checking the effect of technology application parameters and optimizing the remediation process in order to create site-customized solutions
  • Design and execution of full-scale pilot tests to check the optimal operational parameters (for example, chemicals dosage) before implementing full-scale remediation
  • Drafting remediation projects
  • Design of remediation interventions
  • Assisting clients with project approval, managing administrative aspects and co-ordinating interactions with public authorities
  • Support during the procurement phase (for example, drafting of technical specifications, technical evaluation of suppliers’ bids)

Enhanced biotreatment pilot project

Enhanced biotreatment pilot project and full-scale site remediation project at Piombino power plant for Enel Power Generation.

CESI was selected to supervise a site remediation pilot project at Piombino, which Enel identified as a key project in its programme to convert and reclaim its Italian power plants, with the aim of turning them into commercial developments. To convert the site, heavy fuel oil had to be removed from the subsoil around the power plant. CESI has developed and tested technologies for doing this through partnerships around the world. Through tests conducted initially at CESI’s labs and subsequently in the field, we were able to reach the expected targets defined by the Polytechnic of Milan and the University of Rome. Enhanced biotreatment technology involves injecting biodegradable surfactant products into the soil that speed up the removal of fuel oil and allow the activation of secondary biodegradation processes to meet the decontamination target.
