SEKRET Sediment ElectroKinetic REmediation Technology for heavy metal pollution removal
Country: International organisation- network or project
Start Date:   1/10/2015         Duration: 24 months         Project Type: Demonstration
Contract Number: 
Organisation Type:  EC Project
Topics: 
Contaminated land-->Remediation options-->In situ treatment technologies
Sediments
Project objectives: 
The SEKRET project will consist of different actions aimed at demonstrating that the innovative Electro- Kinetic Remediation (EKR) technology can effectively 
remove heavy metals from contaminated harbour dredged sediments from European ports. The innovative technology will be demonstrated in the Port of Livorno 
in order to prove the technical and financial feasibility of the project, as well as the environmental advantages compared to current management strategies 
(disposal in landfills and dumping at the open sea).
Project Summary: 
The project will be realized at a pilot scale in a real port environment; it will demonstrate that dredged sediment with heavy metal and hydrocarbon concentrations 
over the agreed standards can be treated via EKR in order to reach full compliance. The main action will be the demonstration of the EKR technology by way of a demonstrative 
plant to be built in a dedicated area (500 m2 and already located in agreement with Livorno Port Authority) within the Port.
