Remediation of soils contaminated with oil (petroleum or fuel oil) N ° 6Romina Gónzalez Q., Eva Soto A. Environmental Civil Engineer, Playa Ancha University. Chile

General Objective

Evaluate the technical feasibility, economic and environmental remediation of a soil contaminated with oil, by developing a methodology, so as to reduce the HTP (total

petroleum hydrocarbons).

Specific objectives

• Determine the magnitude and distribution of the oil spill No. 6 •Identify and assess the presence of THP (total petroleum hydrocarbons) from contaminated soil. •Select a technology for remediation of soils contaminated with oil. •Designing a methodology for implementing the selected technology for remediation of soil contaminated with No. 6 oil. •Implement the selected technology, a pilot scale, for soils contaminated with No. 6 oil.

Results & Indicators

• The performance of proposed remediation of soils contaminated with No. 6 oil, will provide a proposal to provide a solution and regularization of areas contaminated with No. 6 oil, implemented remediation techniques, and thereby reduce or eliminate, where possible, impacts causing environmental areas affected by oil spills..

• Provide information that will help and encourage the development of policies and procedures for managing contaminated sites or related subject.
