In 2010 the
Hamburg Ministry of Urban Development and the
Environment (BSU) in cooperation with the
Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) and the Hamburg
Ministry of Economy initiated a project called
“ELSA - Remediation of contaminated Elbe
Sediments”. Hamburg’s interest is to
initiate the improvement of sediment
contamination in the Elbe, give advice and if
required also financially support measures.
Measures are to be implemented by the local
administration. ELSA closely works together with
the international and the national sediment
working groups.
In February 2012 the website
www.elsa-elbe.de was launched , where
background information on the project
“Remediation of contaminated Elbe Sediments –
ELSA” can be found. In addition the website
gives information on pollutant-sediment
management in the catchment basin of the Elbe. |

‘AMORAS’ –
Antwerp Mechanical Dewatering, Recycling and
Application of Silt – operational since October
2011
With the AMORAS project, there is a
permanent and sustainable solution for the
treatment and storage of maintenance dredging
material in the Port of Antwerp. This occurs by
means of a unique silt treatment system. It
consists of a treatment installation for
dewatering dredged spoil and purifying process
water. The filter cakes left behind, which are
at least 60% dry, are stored or reused as
environmentally friendly material. The
dewatering installation can process
approximately 500,000 tonnes of dry material (after
dewatering). The construction of the dewatering
installation was completed at the end of
September 2011. The complete system has been
operational since October 1st 2011.

EGU session
Sediments, and ecosystem and human health,
Vienna, Austria.
Session HS9.1/GM7.7
Conveners: Phil Owens and Ian Droppo
Session details: In recent years there has been
considerable interest in how the quantity and
quality of sediment impacts ecosystems and human
health. Examples of such impacts include
excessive fine-grained sediment on aquatic
habitats (such as salmonid spawning gravels),
detrimental impacts of contaminated sediment on
animal and human health (e.g. pathogens in
coastal beaches, mercury in Arctic food-chains),
and the role of airborne fine particulates (e.g.
PM2.5) on respiratory problems in urban areas.
This session welcomes contributions that address
these concerns from a variety of different
perspectives, including process studies,
experimental work, and research that focuses on
management needs.
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2012/
Deadline for the submission of abstracts is
Tuesday 17th January 2012. For details on the
EGU and abstract submission see:
