The main areas of EKG application are categorised as follows:
Civil Engineering
To date Electrokinetic have used EKG to:
- Consolidate super soft clay
- Construct a reinforced soil wall using clay slurry
- Dewater sewage sludges
- Control the condition of natural sports turf surfaces
- Dewater construction waste slurries and mine tailings
For example, recent work on diamond mine tailings has shown that EKG can
achieve highly accelerated settling of tailings with 50% of the final natural
settlement occurring during the first 30 seconds of treatment. Research is
ongoing in all the application areas list above and includes the application
of EKG to in-situ clean up of contaminated land.
