Descripción del proyecto
Tecnología novedosa para la descontaminación edáfica
La limpieza de suelos contaminados es esencial para preservar la salud humana y el medio ambiente. Tan solo en Europa, más de 340 000 zonas están altamente contaminadas, mientras que, en China, el 20 % de las tierras agrícolas requieren acciones de recuperación urgentes. ReSoil es la única opción de recuperación disponible que elimina de manera eficaz plomo y otros metales tóxicos de suelos contaminados, preservando así el suelo y sus nutrientes como un recurso natural. Brinda una tecnología de lavado de suelo que ayuda a reciclar las aguas en un circuito cerrado, lo que garantiza que no se genere ningún residuo líquido. ReSoil constituye un gran avance, una innovación medioambiental ecológica con una transcendencia mundial que se está preparando para asaltar los mercados.
Objetivo
In Europe, more than 340 000 sites are likely to be highly contaminated and in need of remediation measure. About 20% of farmland soil in China require urgent remediation action. Urban soils are contaminated by Pb-based paint and emissions from the combustion of leaded gasoline in all major cities in US. Lead was identified by WHO as 1 of 10 chemicals of major public health concern. Urban soil is a lingering source of lead poisoning in children. Most countries have made the clean-up and restoration of the contaminated land a priority thus creating the opportunity for soil preserving remediation options. The remediation of contaminated soil is essential for the protection of environmental resources and human health. There are no effective and sustainable (soil preserving) remediation technologies for soils contaminated primarily with Pb. Excavation with landfilling is unfortunately still one of the most used solutions (used in 82-84% of cases. ReSoil is the single available remediation option which efficiently removes Pb and other toxic metals from contaminated soils and preserves soil as a natural resource. ReSoil is EDTA-based soil-washing technology with innovative technology for recycling of EDTA and process waters in closed-loop and thus ensuring generation of no liquid wastes. ReSoil is a breakthrough, globally important green environmental innovation in the verge of commercialization. ReSoil demonstration plant (6 t/day) and demonstration garden are available. Low operation and remediation cost, no environmental emission and preserving soil as a natural resource for safe food production make ReSoil technology disruptive innovation in the growing soil remediation market (8% annual growth rate). Increasing public concern and awareness requires new effective and cost-efficient gentle remediation options. ENVIT is an engineering company with an aim to offer the world the efficient solution for removal of lead and other pollutants from soil.
