Environmental Products And Services
Conduct An Environmental Audit And/Or Implement An Environmental Management System (ems).
ALTECH is known internationally for environmental auditing and implementing environmental management systems. ALTECH participated in the development of the ISO standards, making significant contributions. We have Certified Environmental Auditors (CEA) on staff, as accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. ALTECH has performed in excess of 400 audits in industry sectors such as food and beverage, printing and newspaper, pulp and paper, petroleum and petrochemicals, metals and metal finishing, automotive, steel production, waste management industry, pharmaceuticals, paints and coatings, electrical utilities, mining and coal operations, plastics, and numerous general manufacturing operations. ALTECH also provides the development and implementation of environmental management systems tailored to the activities and culture of the organization. Where a company requests, the EMS can be compatible with ISO 14000 when certification is important.
With regard to process optimization, a comprehensive audit is a valuable way of evaluating the performance and cost of the management control system. Recommendations focus on cost reductions as well as compliance to environmental regulations.
This can include: water characterization and audit; waste management and minimization; energy audit.
Conduct A Subsurface Assessment Of Groundwater And Soil Contamination And Assess Cost Effective Remediation Options.
With ALTECH's scientific expertise and protocol sampling methods, ALTECH has conducted a large number of contaminant migration studies and decommissioning projects.
Contaminant migration and tracking may take a number of different routes. The most effective is determined by type of contamination and location in the soil horizon. Delineation of contamination is completed by ALTECH professionals in all of the following four area of a soil horizon: soil testing into the unsaturated zone; and delineation of soil contaminant characteristics and extent; contaminant presence in the capillary zone directly above the water table; migration of LNAPL liquids; contaminant presence and movement on the water table, or saturated zone; presence of LNAPL liquids, and delineation of extent, characteristics, groundwater speed, depth, and direction of flow; contaminant presence and movement in a groundwater strait; DNAPL presence and characterization at base aquacludes and their delineation, speed, and direction of saturated zone water flow.
Decommissioning of a site includes the most effective remediation techniques to meet the most cost effective schedule. Remediation options available for contaminated site clean up include: bioremediation; the process of contaminant destruction by naturally enhanced microorganism activity; soil washing; an ALTECH innovation which releases the contamination from the soil to be treated in a water phase - this physically and chemically separates the chemical contaminant from the soil; groundwater investigations and remediation; the identification and clean up of contaminated groundwater - groundwater remediation strategies which are sight specific, ie. carbon filtering.
Insitu remediation techniques can often be the most cost effective approach for remediation. ALTECH owns and operates insitu remediation equipment such as pump-and-treat as well as vapour extraction systems.
