- Retekulation
Retekulation is an American developed
environmental remediation process, established since the mid-eighties, now licensed in the UK and Europe... and marketed worldwide. It can be simultaneously applied to a broad range of contaminated material associated with land,infrastructure andindustrial waste . It is applied on-site, thereby redressing and enhancing the budgetary implications associated withredevelopment hindered bysoil contamination , especially from an environmental and commercial perspective.Retekulation, at its simplest, is the mixing of chemicals, reagents and binding agents in order to eliminate, modify and immobilise the hazardous physical and chemical constituent properties of the contaminated material – in other words, removal of the risk... protecting health and the environment by preventing migration of contaminants to human, animal, and plant receptors, rendering the retekulated material safe for on-site (or off-site) reuse. No matter what the source waste - whether it be
inorganic ororganic material ,sludge ordredge - retekulation simultaneously converts multiple contaminants fromhazardous waste to a re-usable product... leaving no residual waste.The process utilises fast deployment, compact mobile plant, and flexible scalabilty. Techniques can be applied on any site with any quantity of soil. The treated soil stays on-site, bringing about enormous savings in haulage and landfill costs. Processing hundreds of tonnes per hour, per mobile unit, the secondary aggregate makes an ideal paving base for use under access roads, car parks and other service provisions... giving further value and savings.
