REMEDIATION OF CONTAMINATED SITES
EKONTA has successfully cleaned-up hundreds of sites contaminated by various organic and inorganic pollutants in a number of countries. Depending on the character of the contamination and the site-specific conditions, the optimum remediation approach is applied. Two basic kinds of approaches are considered:
“Ex situ“ remediation: excavation of contaminated soil or pumping contaminated
groundwater and subsequent treatment;
“In situ“ remediation – decontamination of
soil and/or groundwater directly at the place of original occurrence (without pumping and excavation).

PROCESS WATER AND WASTE WATER TREATMENT
Process water (PW):
Waste water treatment (WWT):
Cooling waterDemineralization & bacteria-free waterWater softening & pH adjustment Suspended solid removal
Nitrate, iron, manganese removalWell realization & regeneration
Primary treatment (physical & chemical)Heavy metals removal
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) removal by photochemical oxidation with hydrogen peroxide/UVCSecondary treatment (biological)Disinfection

WASTE WATER TREATMENT FOR MUNICIPALITIES AND SMALL VILLAGES
Constructed wetlands (CW) represent a cost-effective and proven solution for the wastewater treatment for villages, small municipalities and isolated facilities.
The wastewater is discharged to a properly designed and constructed wetland where the polluting substances are removed from the flowing water by special bacteria. These bacteria are fixed on the roots of particular plants that grow in the CW.
Turn-key delivery of CWSelection of sites suitable for CW constructionDesigning and permitting of CWSelection, delivery and growing of plants suitable for CWOperation and maintenance of CW
DEKONTA offers:
In order to keep our service portfolio unique, we could also provide alternative WWT solutions like constructed wetlands.
