Project Summary
This project has been initiated in
response to an invitation from Southern Regions / SA Environment
Minister and Mobil Refining Australia Ltd to develop a major
initiative focussing on the assessment of contaminants and risk
based management options for the Port Stanvac refinery site in
South Australia.
Researchers from CRC CARE, in
partnership with Mobil, the University of South Australia and
Coffey Environments Pty Ltd, will use the Port Stanvac site to test
environmentally-friendly, cost-effective bioremediation strategies
to clean up petroleum residues.
The project will initially focus its activities (scopes) at three
discrete locations at the Port Stanvac site:
Scope 1: Wharf
road / foreshore / ballast tank farm
Scope 2: Ex-situ soil bioremediation cell
Scope 3: In-situ soil bioremediation site (Crude tank farm
area)
