During the Intersoil congress, organised by Web-Event in collaboration with several parties including Leefmilieu Brussel, the theme was soil remediation. Being the soil remediation specialist, HMVT was of course in attendance.

Dry-cleaning
Klaas de Jong spoke on behalf of HMVT at the Intersoil Congress. On Tuesday 13 November, in his presentation Klaas recounted the story of the remediation of a former dry-cleaning business. This remediation was carried out using a thermal approach to an unsaturated soil zone and an oxidative approach to the groundwater.

Current developments
In the course of this congress the changes in the regulations were also discussed, as well as the responsibilities of all the parties involved in soil remediation. In addition, new techniques and methods in carrying out soil studies were explained in detail, as well as innovative techniques in soil and groundwater remediation.
