ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION PROCESS FOR CONTAMINATED SITES
First Claim
1. A process for assessing and remediating a contaminated site comprising the steps of:
- assessing contaminated soil and/or groundwater at a contaminated site by conducting geophysical scans of the site;
assessing the contaminated soil and/or groundwater by analyzing the soil and water samples for chemical parameters;
remediating the soil and/or groundwater by electro-kinetics;
during remediation, assessing the contaminated site by conducting hydrological and chemical tests of the water; and
assessing the remediated soil and/or groundwater by conducting electromagnetic scans of the site.

Abstract
Process for assessing and remediation of a contaminated site comprising the steps of assessing the contaminated soil and/or groundwater at a contaminated site involving geophysical scans of the contaminated site and pH, microbial, salinity and metal testing of the soil and/or water contained in the site or other site specific parameters. Remediation of the soil and/or water at the site insitu is followed involving electro-kinetics of the contaminated site. Water testing is carried out during remediation to determine the effect of remediation. Following remediation, an assessment of the remediated soil and water involves electromagnetic scans of the contaminated site as well as pH, microbial, salinity and metal testing of the soil and water contained in the site Once the results of all tests are analysed, the electro-kinetic remediation can be deemed successful or optimized and continued for an extended duration. Effluent water collected from electrodes during remediation can be treated using electrodialysis or suitable technology and then used to flush the vadose zone or reinjected into the groundwater zone the water was extracted from.
