Environmental Material Science, Inc. (EMS) was founded upon the commercialization of 15 years of university-based research conducted by the world’s foremost soil scientists in soil fertility and remediation. We create and deliver technology that autonomously monitors and remediates hydrocarbon spills by using solar power and local groundwater to biostimulate soil health. EMS products/services: 1) Soil Sense - Our sensor packs installed at different depths constantly assess hydrocarbon vapours, oxygen, carbon dioxide and methane year-round. 2) Distributor – Our compact, solar-powered injection system uses ground water while it delivers a lab-tested nutrient and electron acceptor solution to help clean hydrocarbon spills at a site. 3) Optimizer - Our proprietary amendment solution provides a tailored blend of macro- and micro-nutrients for each site, creating an optimal environment for “hydrocarbon hungry” microorganisms to thrive, translating into significantly quicker remediation time. EMS Proven Value Proposition: 1) help customers predict when and how much to spend on contaminated sites; 2) increase customer revenue by minimizing disruptions to operations; 3) reduce customer costs by using natural processes to clean contaminated soil; 4) help customers comply with regulations and improve ESG metrics by continuously measuring pollutants and pollutant degradation. ems-inc.ca
