Rapid Hydrocarbon Remediation at an Industrial Site in Northern Italy

PetroFix minimizes site disruption, allowing redevelopment to go ahead

A vacant industrial site in an urban area in Northern Italy, contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons and BTEX from underground storage tanks, was effectively remediated using PetroFix colloidal activated carbon technology.

• The project required substantial and rapid contaminant reductions to allow for planned site redevelopment.

• Studio Planeta selected PetroFix^® as the most appropriate and least disruptive technology, due to the urban site setting, time-scales for redevelopment and economic factors.

• Achieved concentrations below stringent regulatory levels within weeks, with reductions observed in both treated and surrounding areas.
