GEO Inc. is a woman owned small business that specializes in environmental remediation. GEO has over 25 years of professional experience in onsite remediation where elevated concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) are present. The company is organized to serve and assist clients by designing, building, and operating two proprietary remediation technologies; Gas Thermal Remediation (GTR) and C3 Technology refrigerated condensation vapor treatment system. GEO is the sole manufacturer, patent holder and provider of GTR and C3 remediation systems and services.
Guiding our staff, business expansion, and shared company values is the goal of contributing to our clients' success while promoting and providing a sustainable remedial alternative to thermal remediation and off-gas treatment for the most heavily impacted sites in the U.S. and abroad. GEO’s GTR™ and C3-VES systems meet local regulatory emissions requirements -guaranteeing a positive community response.
GEO is proud to be able to provide sustainable remediation alternatives to the environmental consulting profession today and is committed to research and develop more opportunities to provide sustainable remediation solutions in the future.
GEO is headquartered in Corona, California and has manufacturing and training facilities in Belfast, Maine.
GEO proudly manufactures all essential and proprietary equipment and systems in the United States of America. Manufacturing including welding, electrical, programming and testing is performed in the West Coast and or East Coast facilities depending on final destination of the equipment. Most new systems manufactured today are built to order generally within 60 days. GEO currently maintains, services and upgrades a fleet of GTR thermal control units (TCUs) and C3 Technology vapor condensation systems in the US and has maintained TCUs and C3s operating internationally including Australia, China, Europe, Russia, and South America.
GEO is managed and supported by a world class team of engineers and executives with extensive experience in remediation projects and technologies. GEO's management is a group of senior remediation specialists with long established credentials in the soil remediation market, more particularly in the Thermal desorption and cryogenic fields. The company currently employs around 30 people. Descriptions and bios of GEO's executive team can be found on our company page.
GEO is capable of bonding single projects up to $25 million USD. With over 50 projects executed, GEO has a perfect no claims bonding history.
GEO provides the world's only commercially available in-situ thermal remediation system that uses natural gas/propane and/or even the contaminants themselves as energy sources instead of electricity. The use of fuel sources to create in-situ heat (via propane, natural gas, methane, of diesel) generally allows for advantages in both economic and sustainability measures. GEO also differentiates itself by offering the use of patented C3™ Technology to condense off-gas contaminants back to NAPL, a generally greener and more sustainable off-gas treatment technology.
GEO has a unique position being able to offer an integral recycling solution, based on both proprietary technologies: vaporizing the chemical contaminants by thermal desorption and returning them to liquid form by condensation.
The two key technologies owned and offered by GEO are the GTR™ and C3™ technologies, representing a unique combination for soil remediation (on site and in situ). Although both technologies can be (and are) applied as standalone technologies, their combination forms a complete and competitive solution for organic contaminations as well as for mercury pollutions in soil, both in situ and on-site.
With these technologies GEO has an unique solution to recycle chemicals that have accidentally entered or spilled into the soil/groundwater. Simply put: heat transforms the liquids into gas that can be extracted and C3™ condenses this vapor into a reusable liquid.
GEO has an evolving list of case studies, each available for download to highlight some of the key challenges they have faced, overcome, and lessons learned.
You can find a list of case studies here.
In the USA, GEO has successfully completed in-situ remediation works at numerous CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, normally known as Superfund) sites. GEO's work in progress and contracted work also includes several CERCLA sites.

GEO Inc. is proud to have over 25 years of work without any OSHA reportable incidents. All field personnel have 40 hour certifications, US Army Corp Engineer Certificates and RSO Refinery Safety Certification. Our organization submits to PICS auditing.
Prior to site mobilization, GEO Inc. develops a detailed Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) to address potential health and safety hazards and control measures throughout the various work tasks. Safety controls and precautions can be separated into three categories: (1) the gas distribution system, (2) the individual burner controls, and (3) the emissions controls.

"GEO's Equipment is Superb. We ran a 3 month pilot test and extracted over 2,300 gallons of pure 1,2,-DCA and other chlorinated hydrocarbons (24,000 pounds of contaminant mass) with very little down time even under extreme weather conditions (heat)."
