Retekulation is an American developed environmental remediation process, established since the mid-eighties by United Retek Corporation (USA). The Retek Process can be simultaneously applied to a broad range of contaminated material associated with land, infrastructure and industrial waste. When utilised at its optimum, it would be applied on-site, helping its procurement redress and enhance budgetary implications associated with redevelopment hindered by soil contamination, especially from an environmental and commercial perspective.
The Retek Process mixes chemicals, reagents and binding agents in order to eliminate, modify and immobilise the hazardous physical and chemical constituent properties of the contaminated material. Its primary function is to remove the risk, protecting health and the environment by preventing migration of contaminants to human, animal, and plant receptors. The intention is that the treated material will be rendered safe for on-site or off-site reuse. Source waste can be inorganic or organic material, sludge or dredge. In short, it is stated that the process simultaneously converts multiple contaminants from hazardous waste to a re-usable product leaving no residual waste.
