The double-level process consists of Strip-technology with subsequent contaminant oxidisation, using ozinisation and/or hydrogen peroxide/UV (advanced-oxidation-processes, AOP). In the currently ongoing follow-up project, a compact strip-installation in pilot-scale, so-called “Inferatorstripper”, is being developed and constructed with a cost-efficient exhaust-treatment process For optimalisation of desorption temperature, a number of energy efficient technologies (Solar heating, Waste Heat Utilisation) are being integrated. As a result of the project, it is expected that an innovative technical process for sustainable removal of volatile organic contaminants from groundwater will be produced.
