EKOTEK Soluciones Medioambientales

Development of a bioremediation technology for the reclamation of contaminated soils

Objectives

EKOTEK has developed an on-site bioremediation technology for soils contaminated with organic compounds, based on the application of composts specifically designed to the characteristics of each site, and enriched with specific degradative micro-organisms, selected to breakdown the contaminating substances. Moreover, this technology has been demonstrated in full-scale applications in two highly-contaminated sites in the framework of a LIFE-ENVIRONMENT project funded by the European Commission..

Results

EKOTEK can offer a versatile technology that achieves lower end-levels of contamination than conventional bioremediation processes and reduces the overall treatment time. This technology offers our customers a technique for the recuperation of contaminated soils that is highly cost-effective, and that incorporates innovation and quality into the contaminated land management models.
