New Remediation Technologies

Problem statement

New remediation technologies have recently followed two major trends : 1) increased attention to sustainability has pushed towards natural solutions, and 2) the need to address recalcitrant contaminants has pushed an array of new technologies, often energy intensive. There is a need to connect new technology development to the market and assess their validity.

 

Key stakeholders

  • Contractors
  • Regulators
  • Laboratories

 

Knowledge base

 

Challenges

  • Identifying suitable new technologies
  • Scale up from bench to field trials
  • Demonstrating proof of concept for regulatory approval and independent verification
  • Providing sites for field scale trials

 

Member priorities

  • Natural recovery technologies (MNA, wetlands, sediment recovery, etc.)
  • In situ Bioremediation
  • On Site soil treatment technologies (soil washing, bio-piles, landfarming, etc.)

 

Working Partnerships

  • Linking site owners and innovators (universities, start-ups, small companies)
  • Promotion of the development of from innovation to full scale and supporting funding
  • Promote partnerships with innovators
