Is there a nature-based, cost-effective solution for your remediation problems?
Applied Natural Sciences’ innovative TreeMediation® services go beyond the capabilities of traditional phytoremediation. Our patented TreeWell® technology allows access to deeper groundwater and bedrock aquifers, thus providing sustainable, nature-based alternatives to conventional remediation techniques.
Benefits of Our Patented Remediation Systems
-
On average, the lifetime cost of our remediation system is substantially lower than conventional remedies such as groundwater pump-and-treat systems.
-
Our systems have been successfully used to provide contaminant degradation in soil and groundwater under a variety of lithologic conditions. Additionally, our systems can be used to provide hydraulic control of groundwater, thereby mitigating plume migration.
Treatable contaminants include soluble compounds in soil and groundwater, including most VOCs, agricultural inorganics, solubilized metals, PFOA/PFAS, and semi-volatile organics.
-
While significant remediation is taking place in the soil and groundwater in the subsurface, the foliage of beautiful willows, hackberries, live oaks, palms, poplars, or spruce trees is growing above the surface.
-
As the trees mature, their groundwater uptake rates increase, providing improved hydraulic control and contaminant mass removal. Also, the root system typically hosts robust microbial populations that are capable of degrading many contaminants.
-
Our pioneering work in phytoremediation began in 1988. In 1993, Applied Natural Sciences was founded to implement our unique TreeMediation system. We have successfully completed dozens of projects in North America, South America, and Europe, including projects with a wide range of climatic and physiographic conditions.
