State railway: contaminated wood treating facility

Description

The storage, handling and runoff of chemical preservatives (oil and oil tar, chromated copper salt) used in timber treatment gave rise to soil and groundwater contamination. Site Type: Wood Preserving The storage, handling, deponing and runoff of chemical preservatives (mixed oil and oil tar, chromated copper salt) resulted in soil and groundwater contamination. Impacted area covers 5.5 hectares. Groundwater extraction by 25 extracting wells.
Cleaning system skimming, air stripping activated carbon adsorber.

Phenol and kreosotes removal by ozone and hydrogenperoxide catalytic oxidation. Ion exchange separator for copper. Reductive fixation for CrvI. Project Status: soil excavation completed, groundwater treatment system under construction Media (quantity m³):
Soil (ex-situ) 3,000m³
Groundwater 18,000m³ Contaminants: PAHs, phenol, creosote, heavy metals Cleanup Goals:
TPH in soil: 1000 ppm, in groundwater phenol 0,05 mg/l, BTEX 0,15 mg/l Contaminant concentration before treatment:
In soil TPH 3,000-10,000 ppm, phenol 800-2,500 ppm
In groundwater dissolved: TPH 15-40 mg/l, BTEX 1-2 mg/l phenol 1-12 mg/l
