CRC CARE’s Department of Defence demonstration program
focuses on laboratory and field-based investigation of potentially
contaminated sites, and the validation of innovative technologies
developed for their assessment and remediation.
The program uses interdisciplinary methodologies to arrive at
optimal solutions for the complex environmental problems at a range
of representative sites across Australia.
Projects

- AFFF-impacted soils and management strategies
- Gradient permeable reactive barrier for treating TCE
contaminated groundwater at EDP Site 9, Edinburgh
- Surfactant enhanced in-situ chemical oxidation (S-ISCO) and
enhanced bioremediation of remediation of volatile organic
compounds at Edinburgh, Sites 1,2 & 3
- AFFF wastewater remediation, RAAF Edinburgh
- Modified natural clays for remediation of hazardous
substances
