Industry/Application

Contaminated Land Remediation

Provectus Remediation Ltd has been providing turnkey contaminated land remediation solutions to the regeneration industry for over 25 years. This has included the first use of in-situ thermal desorption in Europe, fixed price remediation and enabling works as well as insurance backed risk transfer packages and innovative funding solutions.

Provectus provides unparalleled business led consultancy, risk and contracting services for contaminated land to a wide range of clients: effectively managing risk is their business. Provectus have a proven track record in successfully packaging services seamlessly with other areas including finance, environmental insurance, development and construction.

Supplied via ION Science’s distributor, Shawcity, Provectus is using the Tiger PID to indicate VOC concentrations in contaminated ground during investigations, trials and treatment. The instrument is occasionally used to check occupational exposure on very contaminated sites.

The Tiger is also used to calculate total mass loading in organic vapour extraction systems when combined with regular lab analysis. It is typically used by Provectus to take between 10 and 20 measurements per day.

Simon Dockerty, Process & Systems Manager at Provectus:
After many years of use, we needed to replace an older PID that had started to become unreliable and uneconomic to maintain. Having used ION Science instruments before, I was familiar with their quality design and ease of use.

As well as accuracy and simplicity, we chose the Tiger for its excellent lamp technology. Given that the instrument is used to monitor heaps of soil and boreholes in the middle of muddy fields, a robust and reliable lamp is very important.

As expected, the Tiger PID has proved robust, reliable and easy to use. The service provided by ION Science and its distributor has also been excellent.
