Utvikling av en mobilt jorddampingsanlegg for behandling av biologisk forurenset jord

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Soil contaminated with invasive species (e.g., Japanese knotweed) and nematodes (e.g., potato rootworm) poses major challenges to agriculture and environmental sustainability. Current remediation methods, like stationary soil washing plants, face limitations. While effective for fine soils, stationary systems are immobile and inefficient for on-site treatment of diverse soils (e.g., clay, stony, wet). Transporting contaminated soil off-site incurs high costs and logistical hurdles, especially for remote/large projects, hindering scalability. We aim to address these by developing a containerized mobile steamer for efficient on-site remediation. Through soil pre-treatment and energy optimization, the steamer addresses soil adaptability and energy inefficiencies. This provides the soil industry with new insights into scalable mobile treatment, energy efficiency, and certification, supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals on soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable land management.
