Two MICCS Demo tests have been successfully carried out in the Netherlands. The technology and equipment have been tested under field conditions. Stability and efficiency of sensors have been verified, yielding on-site, real-time data, as expected.
Advanced in-situ soil investigation method for identifying and characterizing pollution, developed by the MICCS Project, lead to a 30% faster site investigation and thus reduced the cost for site investigation by 20% compared with conventional methods The remaining market barriers require a full-scale demonstration of the technological advanced that resulted from the MICCS project. Results will be compared with the existing, conventional methods. This is necessary to obtain a regulatory acceptance of the MICCS technology. This is last obstacle to introducing the technology to the market. The team is looking forward to proving the cost-effectiveness and the advantages of the technology.
