The Problem:

Groundwater remediation is the process that is used to remove pollution from groundwater. Groundwater is water present below the ground surface that saturates the pore space in the subsurface. At least one half of the population of the United States depends upon groundwater as a source of drinking water.

Groundwater is also used by farmers to irrigate crops and by industries to produce everyday goods. Most groundwater is clean, but groundwater can become polluted, or contaminated as a result of human activities or as a result of natural conditions. The many and diverse activities of man produce innumerable waste materials and by-products; Before the 1980′s the regulation of these wastes was less stringent and waste materials were often disposed of or stored on land surfaces where they percolated into the underlying soil and eventually these waste materials were carried downward, contaminating the underlying groundwater and therefore jeopardizing the natural quality of it.

As a result, contaminated groundwater became unsuitable for use. Current practices can still impact groundwater, such as the over application of fertilizer or pesticides, spills from industrial operations, infiltration from urban runoff, and leaking from landfills. Using contaminated ground water causes hazards to public health through poisoning or the spread of disease, and the practice of groundwater remediation has been developed to address these issues.

Contaminants found in ground water cover a broad range of physical, inorganic chemical, organic chemical, bacteriological, and radioactive parameters. Pollutants and contaminants can be removed from ground water by applying various techniques thereby making it safe for use.

The Solution:

The Power to Economically Recycle Groundwater while Substantially Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Your Operation.

One of the largest opportunities for the application of LATITUDE SOLUTIONS, INC’s Electro Precipitation Technology™ is in treating groundwater from pollution caused by human activities and natural conditions. LATITUDE SOLUTIONS, INC has developed an alternative energy-driven means of filtering groundwater that few competing technologies can tackle. LATITUDE SOLUTIONS, INC’s technology recycles groundwater by using a unique filtration technology and harnessing a chemical energy source required by downstream E&P processes, a cost and resource that is already being consumed on each well.

Application of this technology saves money, dramatically reduces energy consumption, and reclaims or recycles millions of barrels of fresh water that are normally transported long distances, injected in deep disposal wells and forever lost from the fresh water cycle.

LATITUDE SOLUTIONS, INC’s technology for filtering wastewater dramatically conserves and recycles precious fresh water, and significantly reduces the overall carbon footprint.
