Our Remediation Services Include:

Ponos Support Services offers comprehensive remediation solutions to address environmental, pollution and contamination, restore your environment and property to its original condition or better. We understand the complexities of environmental regulations and the importance of sustainable practices. Despite the technological control and the continuously improved preventive measures, oil spills that pollute many elements of the environment are still occurring today. According to the NOSAI, almost 28,000bar oil spills are reported each year in NIGERIA alone. Oil spill control measures aim to decrease and limit oil spills, as well as limit their spreading in the environment. This can be done in several ways, including the controlled.

Use of barriers and adsorbent materials – to mechanically recover the spilled oil is a commonly used method when the oil spill happens in a water environment, implying the use of physical barriers for the mechanical prevention of oil spreading. Some of the barriers may also chemically interact with the spilled oil and thus providing both mechanical and chemical control means. The main types of barriers used are:

• Booms – Fire resistant booms are used in order to restrict the burning area, especially when controlled burning is applied.
• Skimmers – Skimmers are usually propylene mop-like pads that are placed on the ocean surface to adsorb the spilled oil film.
• Natural and synthetic absorbing materials – These have a sponge-like behavior, used to control a large variety of spills by removing some of the spilled oil and serving as a physical barrier that limits oil migration.

Use of monomolecular surface films around the oil spilled on water to compress it into a thick layer that can be recovered more easily and reduce the damage to the environment, fishing and properties. This technique appeared in the early 1970’s and was incorporated by the Navy into the control programs of bays and harbors.

Our team of experienced engineers and environmental scientists work closely with clients to develop and implement cost-effective remediation strategies tailored to their specific needs.

• Site Assessment and Investigation: We conduct thorough site investigations to identify the type and extent of contamination, including soil, groundwater, and surface water sampling and analysis.
• Remediation Planning and Design: We develop customized remediation plans based on the site assessment findings, considering factors such as regulatory requirements, site conditions, and project objectives.
• Remediation Implementation: We utilize a variety of proven remediation techniques, including:
  • In-situ remediation: Treating contamination in place, minimizing disruption to the site.
  • Ex-situ remediation: Excavating contaminated soil and treating it off-site.
  • Bioremediation: Using microorganisms to break down contaminants.
  • Phytoremediation: Utilizing plants to remove or stabilize contaminants.
• Remediation Monitoring and Reporting: We monitor the effectiveness of remediation efforts and provide regular progress reports to ensure compliance and achieve desired outcomes.
