During the remediation process of groundwater there is an in-situ water culture system situated in a part of the area. (photo 1.) |
To ensure efficient progress of the phytorem- ediative extraction process an extensive knowl- edge of the various suitable plant species is necessary, particularly as regards the response of a plant to its local environment. Also know-how in fields of waste removal and processing and logistics is of utmost importance.
Environmental Options has this specific knowledge and expertise. Presently, as a frontrunner, puts phytoremediative extraction into the market in The Netherlands and elsewhere.
