The TreeWell System’s ability to selectively target specific lithologic horizons and address extreme depths positions it as a meaningful alternative for the remediation of complex environmental challenges. By expanding the frontiers of phytoremediation, TreeWell Systems contribute to the development of more sustainable and effective groundwater treatment methodologies.

As a company, we place value on ensuring that our TreeWell Systems are the right fit for each project we take on.  Our technology is not appropriate for every site, and we take pride in making sure our systems lead to effective contaminant remediation where they are implemented. Unlike a “buyer beware” strategy, we believe in partnering with our clients through thorough feasibility assessment—an approach that’s not always standard in the remediation industry.

The symbiotic relationships between the trees planted in TreeWell units and the underground microbial populations have demonstrated that TreeWell unit-based phytoremediation systems present an effective nature-based remedial alternative for addressing 1,4-dioxane impacts in groundwater.

The complexities of our world are intersecting and interrelated, so we want to be a part of solutions that are layered too.

Coal combustion residuals (CCR) is the preferred terminology for the waste material generated when coal is burned. These residuals can have destructive effects on ecosystems and public health. The advancements we’ve made as well as the unique scenario presented in the case of CCRs makes engineered phytoremediation a very promising remediation alternative.

A dose of skepticism and appreciation for phytoremediation’s processes have fueled our creative remedial work. Our resulting TreeWell system has expanded phytoremediation’s efficacy while level-headedly respecting limitations.

Paul Thomas (president of ANS) spoke on overcoming the limitations of phytoremediation at the recent NICOLE Fall Workshop in Malmö, Sweden.

Check out his slides for more details and interesting case studies drawn from his years of experience in the field.

Phytoremediation emerged in practice, though not in name, in the 1980s. Like many groundbreaking ideas, it has experienced the ebb and flow of positive public perception. But what is the state of the field now and where are we going? A look at phytoremediation’s perception history through the lens of the Gartner hype cycle yields some insights.
