Stengaardens Landfill, Hvalsø

The site is a former landfill contaminated with phenoxy acids. The site has been remediated since 1995 by P&T and since 2011 the gas has been extracted to prevent intrusion into nearby houses.
In 2013 Region Zealand purchased the ground on which the water treatment plant was build.
The plant vent through a complete reconstruction during 2015 / 2016 which included new technologies as advanced oxidation.
The reconstruction of the plant also gave the possibility to prepare the plumbing for “plug and play” testing of external systems by taking a part current of the process water anywhere in the treatment system and afterwards returning it for retreatment in the main system. Region Zealand expects phenoxy acids to be a high cost remediation area in the near future and there by the need for new remediation technologies is obvious. Furthermore, the site gives the possibility for private companies, university’s etc. to test and validate new products and technologies.

Transport of containers and equipment can be done with a crane truck.
Minimum crane outreach is 10 meters (front mounted).
Crane trucks greatest width at < 10 meters outlays must not exceed 2.5 meters.
Appropriate support plates must be used.
Equipment to be set up in the barn can be moved with pallet trucks. Use appropriate protective plates at work so that the epoxy floor is not damaged.

The site has the following facilities:
