Ecologia Cleans Up at Innovation Awards

Ecologia won the ‘most innovative’ category at the 2009 Brownfield Briefing Remediation Innovation Awards held in London on the 22nd September for its radiowave technology developed and piloted in Kent.

The award recognised the development of Ecologia’s remediation technique, which uses its patented In Situ Radio Frequency Heating (ISRFH) technology to speed up the removal of volatile organic chemicals from contaminated sites without the cost of removing the soil to landfill.

Dual Phase Extraction in Italy

Ecologia UK has been awarded the contract to undertake dual phase extraction works at a site in Italy owned by a multinational chemical company. Ecologia survived a tough selection process and will be installing the equipment and commencing remediation works in September this year.

Milk Clean-up

Ecologia has been contracted to undertake sparging works at a dairy site to remediate groundwater that has been heavily impacted by milk. The groundwater was rendered completely anoxic with a low pH resulting from biological activity. The sparging works will oxygenate the system and together with pH adjustment during the project remediate the groundwater at the site.

ISRFH Technology Presentation at the 10th Anniversary CL:AIRE Conference

The Managing Director of Ecologia, Dr Giacomo Maini, will present the results of the field trial carried out at a former service station contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons using In Situ Radio Frequency Heating (ISRFH) technology. The venue will be at the 10th CL:AIRE anniversary conference to be held at the Barbican Centre in London on the 01/07/09.

Solar Irrigation

Ecologia has been awarded by a local authority in Kent, the contract to provide a solar powered borehole pump for water irrigation. Ecologia has undertaken the design and manufacture of the solar powered system. The full installation included the drilling of the borehole by our in-house drilling division which was undertaken as part of an earlier contract.
