Through the latest technology, in combination with their new ultraviolet optical screening tool, GeoTek Alaska, Inc. now can detect contaminants in clients’ soil more efficiently.

What is an ultraviolet optical screening tool?

An ultraviolet optical screening tool is used to find the exact location of petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) contaminants in your soil. This is done via laser-induced fluorescence technology.

Why is an ultraviolet optical screening tool used?

The ultraviolet optical screening tool is a great way to assess any site you believe to be contaminated with petroleum, oil, or lubricants before you begin demolition or new construction. It can be a less invasive way to review sites for hazardous waste contamination.

What are some of the tool’s other benefits?

One of the major benefits of the ultraviolet optical screening tool is how fast it works. Typically, it scans .8 inch per second and can cover an average of 300 to 500 feet across 10 to 20 different locations in just one day. The ultraviolet optical screening tool is also able to color-code the log so you can understand your findings more easily at a glance.
