Greentech's remediation specialist, Eko Harden Technologies, announces that its innovative, in-situ EKOGRID electro kinetic oxidation technology has been approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Waste Management division.
This recognition paves the way for EHT to enter the lucrative Florida government’s remediation program, including the ability to work on 54 waste spots across the state coined “Superfund sites” as well as other sites designated by the State as contaminated. Toxic chemical spills from factories and landfills have been dumped in the sites for decades and now, the surrounding soil, water and air has now become highly polluted.
The scale of remediation in the US is staggering. About 17 percent of America’s population live within five kms of a Superfund site, including 18 percent of children under the age of five, affecting their health and lifestyle.

“The Florida State’s acceptance of our cutting-edge EKOGRID solution is groundbreaking and enables EHT to formally enter the US environmental remediation market,” states Erkki Linderg, Chairman of Eko Harden Technologies. “It could see EKOGRID being used to remediate more than 3,500 chemical spills each year in the US and at many of the 1,300 Superfund polluted sites on the Federal Government’s National Priority List.”
The EKOGRID solution will be distributed in Florida by EHT partners Greenvo Oy of Finland and local US environmental remediation specialists Royal Consulting Services Inc.
“Environmental pollution continues to be a major problem in the US and cannot be overlooked despite diminishing funding and resources,” stresses Brian Roy, President and Operating Manager at Royal Consulting Services, Inc. “Smarter, more cost-efficient solutions are now urgently required for in-situ nationwide remediation projects and EKOGRID is at the forefront.”
EHT’s in-situ remediation technology is rapidly becoming the method of choice for many government agencies, municipalities, land developers, and energy companies united in their effort to eliminate environmental disasters.
The technology supports the developing growth of global wealth and improvement of determining a healthier environment through a sustainable manner. This can be done by removing chemical pollutants from both land and water “in situ” through an advanced oxidation and enhanced bioremediation process. EKOGRID electro kinetic oxidation technology produces a controlled low voltage electric field in a polluted area and the patented technology has already proven to be an ecologically sustainable and cost-efficient way of re-mediating polluted sites in fifteen countries across all continents.
