Project SIReN: Conceptual Site Model & Groundwater Model
The aims of the SIReN project were to identify a site that could allow demonstration of monitored natural attenuation (MNA) under UK conditions and to make that site available as a national research facility. A chemical works was identified which is contaminated with substances including BTEX, styrene, naphthalene, and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAH). There are four geological layers: sand and gravels, overlaying clay, overlaying sands and gravels, overlaying sandstone. Several plumes have been identified, at least one of which has entered the sandstone aquifer. Technical reports (the site selection procedure and the conceptual site model) are available from the Environment Agency.
SIReN is a National Facility for research into Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) under UK conditions. SIReN is a joint initiative between AEA Technology, CL:AIRE, Environment Agency and Shell Global Solutions International. The SIReN research facility is located at a large petrochemical manufacturing plant and was officially launched at the GQ2001 meeting in Sheffield, UK.
