S200 OilGone Land Remediation
A test batch of 500 cu metres of refinery contaminated soil was selected to trial the effectiveness of S200 Oil Gone.at the Kurnell Caltex Refinery.
Contaminated soil from tank sediment, spills areas around leaky pipes and headers is deposited at the refinery land farm
Average TPH loading is 36,000 ppm
Target Total TPH is 10,000 ppm for refinery usage
Contaminated soil is spread at 0.5m thickness in a bunded area
S200 Oil Gone is applied initially and after 2 weeks with soil being turned over weekly
Test samples at 12 weeks indicted that S200 Oil Gone had halved the hydrocarbon loading to 18,000ppm
At 20 weeks the TPH levels were at 12,000 and under the threshold of 10,000ppm within the 25 week target period
Contaminants: Hydrocarbons
