Hydrogen-Powered Technology: The Green Future of Environmental Restoration
Iron Creek’s technology is superior to traditional soil remediation technology for a number of reasons. It’s emergency ready, space efficient and scalable. There’s no waste, meaning one hundred percent of soil and sludge contamination is treated, keeping pollutants out of landfills. The technology treats all organic contaminants, including PFAS, hydrocarbons, explosives and more.
Guidance on PFAS Remediation
There are thousands of different kinds of PFAS. Overall, qualities like moisture-repellence and flame retardant which made them so appealing for commercial use are the same qualities that make them break down slowly and accumulate in the environment. Today, you can find at least small concentrations of PFAS in nearly any place you can imagine– water, air, soil, people, animals, food.
Remediating Soil While Preserving Soil Structure
Pollutants can build up and degrade the soil. This decline in soil quality is extremely problematic, but the risks don’t stop at erosion and crop yields. When toxins sit in the soil, they can permeate groundwater and pollute water tables. As we know, when water sources are affected, the matter becomes dire. One only needs to look to Red Hill in Hawaii, in which residents were sickened and displaced as a result of aging infrastructure that leached fuel into the drinking water.
Brownfield Development Will Help the Global Housing Crisis
According to the 2020 report, England has 182,000 brownfield sites — the equivalent of 64,247 acres — that can sustain more than one million new homes. America has an estimated 450,000 brownfields that could be redeveloped to support new housing. The restoration of these sites will improve local property values and help increase the tax base of municipalities. But brownfield redevelopment can be fraught with problems, a deterrent for investors and developers.
Three Ways To Simplify Brownfield Redevelopment
The redevelopment of brownfield sites can bring additional economic value to towns, and allow for building without taking over previously unoccupied natural lands. But restoring contaminated sites can be difficult, expensive, and even dangerous. There are ways to simplify the process, and it all boils down to the right technology.
Improving the Predictability of Petroleum Brownfield Restoration
Recognizing the economic and environmental importance of brownfield redevelopment, Iron Creek Group has designed patented and proven soil treatment technology that mitigates the risks of land revitalization, adding a layer of predictability to brownfield restoration.
