Description:

The GHEA Associates process applies surfactants and additives to soil washing and wastewater treatment to make organic and metal contaminants soluble (figure 1). The process components include a 25-gal extractor, solid liquid separation, rinse, mixer-settler, and ultrafiltration systems. This technology can be applied to soil, sludges, sediments, slurries, groundwater, surface water, end-of-pipe industrial effluents, and in situ soil flushing. Contaminants that can be treated include both organics and heavy metals, non-volatile and volatile compounds, and highly toxic refractory compounds.
