CarbonGEO® | Technology for groundwater contamination plume containment

What if it were possible to intercept contamination before it reaches rivers, springs or wells?

Contamination doesn't always stay where it started. Underground, groundwater can carry dissolved contaminants along different paths, forming plumes that silently advance toward water resources, neighboring areas and other sensitive points.

But what if it were possible to act before that contamination reached its destination?

An invisible barrier. A strategic protection.

CarbonGEO® is an environmental remediation technology developed by GEOAMBIENTE® to create adsorptive barriers directly underground, capable of intercepting and retaining certain contaminants present in groundwater.

Its application makes it possible to establish a treatment zone along the plume's path, where contaminants are retained by adsorption while the water continues to flow through the porous medium.

It's like installing an underground filter exactly where the contamination needs to be intercepted.

How does CarbonGEO® work?

  1. Plume identification: environmental studies determine the location of the contamination, its behavior and the direction of groundwater flow.
  2. Barrier deployment: the technology is applied directly underground, at strategically defined points and depths.
  3. Contaminant interception: as it crosses the treated zone, part of the dissolved contaminants is retained by adsorption, reducing its migration.
  4. Results monitoring: environmental monitoring allows the barrier's performance to be assessed and the need for additional interventions to be identified.

Technology applied to environmental protection

CarbonGEO® can be part of management strategies for areas contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, BTEX, certain chlorinated solvents and other organic compounds with an affinity for adsorption.

Among its main benefits are:

Intercepting plumes before they reach sensitive receptors.
Direct underground application, with no need for large-scale linear excavation.
The possibility of reducing the need for pumping and off-site treatment systems.
Integration with other environmental remediation strategies.
Control over contaminant migration with technical monitoring.

Applicability and performance depend on hydrogeological characteristics, the contaminants involved and the sizing of the intervention. Retention by adsorption does not mean the automatic destruction of the contaminant mass.

Innovation to act before the impact spreads

More than treating a contaminated area, environmental remediation requires understanding how contamination behaves and anticipating its possible impacts.

With CarbonGEO®, GEOAMBIENTE® turns technical knowledge and environmental engineering into solutions focused on controlling contaminant migration and protecting water resources.

Contamination is on the move, your remediation strategy needs to be too.
