Handbook of Diagnostic Procedures for Petroleum-Contaminated Sites (RESCOPP Project, EU813)

This handbook is a practical guide for the methods and procedures required in assessing the nature, degree and related risk of hydrocarbon pollution in contaminated sites. Focuses on the techniques for investigating and remediating oil-contaminted sites within a specifically European context. It is the result of a four-year research and development programme initiated by the European Union, names RESCOPP (The REmediation of Soils COntaminated by Petrochemical Products).Technologien, um mineralölverseuchte Gebiete zu untersuchen und die Probleme zu beseitigen, werden von den Autoren, allesamt Experten aus der Industrie, umfassend und kompetent behandelt. Sie als Manager erfahren, wie Sie bei der Planung mit Hydrologen, Geologen und Chemikern zusammenarbeiten können, um Ihr Vorgehen wissenschaftlich zu fundieren. Eine Zusammenstellung der chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften von Mineralölprodukten ist ebenfalls enthalten. Preliminary Studies (P. Lecomte).

Paul Lecomte and Claudio Mariotti are the authors of Handbook of Diagnostic Procedures for Petroleum-Contaminated Sites (RESCOPP PROJECT, EU813), published by Wiley.

The approach is to combine a review of current state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures for petroleum-contaminated sites with the experiences of such activities by several companies directly involved in this field. The contents include an introduction to the types of product involved, preliminary studies required in assessing a contaminated site and field survey activities, results analysis, and survey costs involved. The main text is supported by appendices providing a summary of legislation, identification of the different petrochemical pollutants, and different remediation systems. The contributors to this handbook are all experts within the industry. This book will provide an excellent review and problem-solving reference for hydrocarbon manufacturers, distributors and engineers, as well as operating managers and site investigation contractors and consultants.
