One of Sweden’s most notorious environmental contamination cases involved toxic chemicals—including chlorinated phenols, phenoxy acids, PCBs, and chlorinated dioxins—illegally discharged into an adjacent stream and buried in more than 600 drums at the former BT-Kemi facility in Teckomatorp, Sweden. Groundwater infiltration, legacy contamination, and community safety concerns complicated the remedial approach.
IT-DSP™ thermal remediation was implemented to treat the complex multi-compound contamination. Real-time temperature control was incorporated to prevent thermal impacts on a critical interceptor line located within the treatment zone boundary.
Approximately 72 kg of contaminant mass—including chlorinated phenols, phenoxy acids, PCBs, and chlorinated dioxins—was removed during the IT-DSP thermal remediation program at the former BT-Kemi facility in Techomatorp, Sweden. Real-time temperature control successfully protected the critical interceptor line located within the treatment zone boundary from thermal impacts throughout the program. The remediation efficiently addressed one of Sweden’s most complex and high-profile historical contamination cases, involving chemicals illegally discharged into an adjacent stream and buried in more than 600 drums, while maintaining the integrity of critical subsurface infrastructure.
