A former landfill site, located at the Refinery of Gela, polluted by heavy hydrocarbons, chlorinated compounds and mercury, is currently remediated with the technology of In-situ Thermal Desorption executed by a consortium of companies: Haemers Technologies SA, Icaro Ecology S.p.A. and Simam S.p.A.
The treatment area is divided into two zones, the internal area called Zone A (Total surface ≈ 3.400 m² - 4.5 m deep), and the external area called Zone B (Total surface ≈ 5.200 m² - 12 m deep).
In early 2020, the zone A was successfully completed, and the zone B is now ongoing treatment.
