EBJ BUSINESS ACHIEVER OF THE WEEK: GROUNDWATER & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

This week we recognize Groundwater & Environmental Services Inc. (GES; Neptune, NJ), winner of a 2007 EBJ Business Achievement Award for the continued successful deployment of its patented HypeAir chemical oxidation technology. In broad use by Fortune 100 companies, mobile HypeAir units have been used at more than 150 sites throughout the United States since 2004 at an average cost below $100,000 per project. As of the end of 2007, GES had achieved site closure or attainment monitoring at more than 30% of these sites. The HypeAir technology involves the injection of naturally occurring compounds such as oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and air to rapidly break down contaminants into harmless by-products, such as water and carbon dioxide. According to GES, the use of HypeAir involves less time and energy than competitive solutions and thus reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
