| Long description: |
Avenue Coking Works in Wingerworth, Chesterfield was in operation producing smokeless fuels and associated coal carbonisation by-products. The site closed in 1992, and became the responsibility of East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) as part of English Partnerships National Coalfields Programme.
Following a tendering process, a contract was awarded to DEC NV to undertake a solid phase bioremediation trial. DEC NV chose to demonstrate the potential for bioremediation using a three phased approach. This consisted of slurry biodegradation tests, followed by a bench scale bioreactor test and then a field scale active biopile.
The purpose of this report is to describe the design and construction of the active biopile and provide an objective assessment of the performance of the technology.
