The first successful use of electrokinetic phenomena to recover contamination from soil, was performed by Reinout Lageman and Wiebbe Pool in the Netherlands in 1986. Geokinetics was founded by them in 1987 to commercialize this process. With over 9 years of commercial scale operation and numerous completed projects, we have become the world's leading electrokinetic remediation company. Electrokinetically deployed fixation. Our technologies are based on a common core - the manipulation and management of ground conditions using electrodes.
Deployment optimization is a key feature of our service.
During the development phase of each technology, great emphasis is placed on the range and divergence of individual client needs. Consequently, for each technology, the deployment, project cost, project duration and other parameters can be optimized to meet client objectives and constraints. In some situations the value of the recovered resource can substantially offset or even pay for the full scale site remediation. If appropriate we can evaluate resource recovery options, looking at form, purity etc. With the basic TS performance data established and resource recovery optionsdetermined, we can optimize the remediation deployment to meet client objectives using our extensive modeling capability.
