IEG GCWTM systems are specially designed and configured on a site-specific basis, depending on geoenvironmental and contaminant characteristics, to provide accelerated aerobic, enhanced anaerobic or sequential anaerobic to aerobic reactions to deliver more effective treatments.

By selectively applying biological, chemical, and physical processes, IEG's soil air and groundwater circulation technologies are applicable for a wide range of contaminants, including hydrocarbons (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, fuel oils), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), creosote, chlorinated solvents (trichloroethane, tetrachloroethane), pesticides and nitrates, ammonia and metals.

For complex problems, GCWTM technology can also be coupled with other IEG in-situ process methods such as vacuum liquid recovery, bioaugmentation, bioventing, soil flushing, soil air circulation and coaxial groundwater circulation/air sparging.

IEG's solutions deliver significant advantages over other in-situ remediation methods. They are: -

Quicker - groundwater circulating through the aquifer enhances the mobilisation of adsorbed and dissolved contaminants by forcing flow through less permeable lenses and drawing them to the treatment well; in addition, circulation flow accelerates and enhances delivery of oxygen and nutrients to contaminated zones, stimulating natural in-situ bioremediation much faster than other techniques.
Smaller - compact designs require less space on-site.
Smarter - in-ground circulation flow contains groundwater plumes and treats contaminants simultaneously in one well - operates as a "virtual Permeable Reactive BarrierTM".
Greener - requires low negative pressure-low energy, delivering maximum treatment efficiency, with minimum waste.
Other benefits offering potential for significant cost and time savings include: -

Minimal ground excavation and solid waste generation.
No abstraction of groundwater for above ground treatment - the aquifer is the treatment zone.
No reinjection wells required - no injection consent.
No trade effluent discharge - no discharge consent.
Achieves simultaneous hydraulic containment and physical, chemical and/or biological treatment.
