Phytoremediation is a proven remediation strategy that can provide outstanding results in the clean up of contaminated soils, groundwater and even wastewater. Because of our extensive experience in this area, TEA has enhanced and extended the effectiveness of standard phytoremediation. We call our approach Engineered_Phytoremediation℠.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT AN Engineered_Phytoremediation℠ SYSTEM?

First, an Engineered_Phytoremediation℠ system takes advantage of the selective uptake capabilities of plant root systems, together with the translocation, bioaccumulation, and contaminant storage/degradation abilities of the entire plant body. Plant-based soil remediation systems can be viewed as biological, solar-driven, pump-and-treat systems with an extensive, self-extending uptake network (the root system) that enhances the below-ground ecosystem for subsequent productive use.

Second, TEA uses patented and proprietary technologies to achieve outstanding results, tailored to each client's site. An Engineered_Phytoremediation℠system goes beyond just planting trees, grasses and shrubs. Using our technologies, we can direct roots to underground source areas of contamination. We can also enhance the aerobic degradation of many chemicals of concern using innovative technologies.

Finally, TEA has teamed with Dr. Edward Gatliff, one of the country's foremost agronomists in the use of Engineered_Phytoremediation℠systems. The Engineered_Phytoremediation℠ technology uses Dr. Gatliff's patented TreeMediation® system. The results of Engineered_Phytoremediation℠ technology will truly amaze you, and best of all, it can be used in conjunction with other remediation strategies.
