Challenge

TCE, TPH, 1,2-DCE, and DNAPL contamination in fractured bedrock at an active metal working facility in Östhammar Municipality, Sweden required treatment under hydraulic constraints that had caused previous remediation attempts to fail in reaching deeper TCE impacts. Active facility operations required continuous coordination to maintain hydraulic control and minimize disruption.

Site Conditions

  • Active Facility
  • Infrastructure & Access

Approach

An IT-DSP™ (Inductive-Thermal Dynamic Stripping Process) system was carefully engineered to deliver targeted thermal energy into the fractured bedrock, minimizing surface disruption while achieving uniform heating and maintaining hydraulic control throughout operations.

Results

An estimated 81.4 kg of contaminant mass was removed from the fractured bedrock at the active metal working facility in Östhammar Municipality, Sweden, including greater than 99.8% reduction in TCE and 97.5% reduction in 1,2-DCE in groundwater. The IT-DSP inductive thermal system delivered targeted heating into the fractured rock formation, maintaining hydraulic control and achieving uniform temperature distribution across the treatment zone—conditions that previous remediation attempts had been unable to maintain. Active facility operations were sustained with continuous coordination throughout the thermal treatment program.
