LVM-BIOcells

LVM-BIOcells stands for: "Using hydrogeobiocells (HGBcells) for the in-situ biological treatment of CAH (Chlorinated Aliphatic Hydrocarbon) contaminated groundwater in areas with low hydraulic gradients."  It is a project realized with the contribution of the European Community through the LIFE+ program (agreement number LIFE08 ENV/B/000046). The project has started  in January 2010 and will run for 5 years (until December 2014).

This project wants to demonstrate the applicability of an innovative, cost-efficient and energy-efficient remediation technique for groundwater contaminated with CAHs for a site characterized by low natural groundwater flow velocities.  The project takes place at the LVM-site in Tessenderlo, Belgium.
