The Kleen-Team specializes in the fast and effective removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater, using state-of-the art thermal technology to heat and treat sites in periods of 3 to 4 months, depending on size and contaminants. From start to finish, a project can be completed in 9 to 12 months (or less).

WHAT EXACTLY IS SOIL REMEDIATION?

Soil remediation is the process of removing, reducing or neutralizing industrial soil, sediment and water contaminants that threaten human health and/or ecosystem productivity and integrity.

• Developing techniques to remove or reduce levels of hydrocarbons and heavy metals from contaminated soil by means of specially selected plants, microorganisms, surfactants and solvents.
• Modeling how hydrocarbons and other contaminants move in soil so contaminants can be located even long after a spill.
• Transferring technology to engineering companies and public agencies for locating and removing contaminants to clean up spills at industrial sites.
• Consulting with regulatory agencies to develop improved criteria for acceptable levels and procedures for removal of soil contaminants and environmental impact assessment.

WHAT SOIL CONTAMINANTS DOES KLEEN-TEAM TREAT?

Basically, all VOCs (for example, chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents) at any depth, and SVOCs (for example, PCBs, coal tar, creosote, pesticides) located above the water table. With SVOCs below the water table, additional water control measures are needed, such as hydraulic isolation or longer operational periods.
