In-Situ

An amazing development in treatment of petroleum contaminated soils provides dramatic, fast results when performed in landfarming or "in-situ".

These developments have resulted in a tremendous cost savings when using the P.O.L. Sorb technology.

In this instance, we have a serious problem with crude oil that has soaked the soil and has a great deal of free liquids on the surface.

Notice the development of the project:

Stage 1:

The problem: General oil spillage

The choices are: Landfilling, Landfarming or Incineration. The choice here was "Landfarming", using the P.O.L. Sorb technology.

After applying product with site specific nitrates and blending with the soil, the oil is immediately encapsulated by P.O.L. Sorb, safely containing the spill, it now will no longer spread or leach.

Moisture (Water), Heat (Sun) and Nitrogen are integral components for the bioremediation process.

Metabolic synthesis now occurs where the Nitrogen and the Enzymes in the soil combine to achieve the "Landfarming" of the soil, however, we have utilized "in-situ" technology. 

Stage 2:

The initial results are achieved when all the oil has been remediated out of the soil, without destroying the natural enzymes and other components for healthy soil.

Stage 3: 

The final results are achieved when all evidence of the project are gone and there is healthy, green, and productive soil that can now be useful.

The final result is that after six months, the site is completely remediated with minimal disturbance of the environment.
