Case Studies

Background The study was conducted in line with the former Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program that was designed “to provide objective and quality-assured performance data on environmental technologies, so that users, developers, regulators, and consultants can make informed decisions about purchasing and applying these technologies”. Ziltek made a number of claims relating to accuracy (<12% RSD), repeatability (<7% RSD) and detection limit (<250 mg/kg) which were […]

The lagoons covered more than 4 square kilometres and are situated approximately 60 km south west of Doha in Qatar. The site had previously been used for dumping up to 60,000 m3/day of untreated industrial and municipal wastewater from Doha by tankers over many years. The reclamation and rehabilitation of these lagoons was decided by ASHGHAL because this area was raising environmental concerns

Students enrolled in the Environmental Biotechnology (BIOL2324/BIOL2370) course have been using RemScan to measure the effectiveness of bioremediation as part of their practical laboratory training. Bioremediation is a simple, low-cost, and environmentally safe method for cleaning up total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil. It uses natural microorganisms in the soil to break down the TPH

TMK Consulting Engineers invited RemScan to examine a potentially hazardous site where a hopper had been linked to a waste oil storage tank by a pipe suspected of leaking mixed hydrocarbons onto the soil below. RemScan Spill Response Mode was used to provide timely measurements of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration in the soil. Sampling

Introduction Accurate measurement of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is essential for agriculture, environmental management and climate change mitigation efforts. Ziltek recently participated in a project aimed to lower the cost of and enhance SOC measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) processes, particularly in the medium to high rainfall regions of southwest Western Australia. This initiative was driven
