For more than 40 years, hydrocarbon activities have had negative impacts on the Tigre, Pastaza, Corrientes and Marañón river basins, the most important oil extraction area in the Loreto region.
In response to this problem, the Peruvian government, together with the federations of the four basins involved and Profonanpe, Peruvian environmental fund, are seeking a solution to this situation through environmental remediation of the areas impacted by hydrocarbon activities.
Accordingly, and at the initiative of Profonanpe, the international event “Remediation of Contaminated Sites by Hydrocarbons in Remote Areas” is being organized with the support of RemTech Europe, a series of environmental conferences whose objective is the remediation of contaminated sites and protection of territories, making it the most specialized event in Europe, as well as AESAS (Brazil), the Ministry of the Environment (Minam) and the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem).
The event will be held virtually next Tuesday, February 15, 2022, from 08:30 to 13:00, seeks to be a space for the exchange of experiences related to the remediation of environmental liabilities in remote areas and is aimed at companies, remediation professionals, members of the academia and others interested in learning about processes, technologies and experiences applied to the remediation of soils contaminated by hydrocarbons, which may be applicable to the reality of our country.
Thus, through the presentation of different case studies, international and national experts will share the challenges and innovative solutions they implemented during the environmental remediation process in remote areas.
