Geo-Cleanse

What Geo-Cleanse does

Geo-Cleanse International, Inc. is a privately held, US-incorporated environmental remediation firm founded in 1995 that designs and implements in-situ chemical remediation (ISCO and ISCR) technologies for contaminated soil and groundwater. The company's flagship offering, the patented Geo-Cleanse® Process (U.S. Patents 5,525,008 and 5,611,642), uses catalyzed hydrogen peroxide (CHP/Fenton's reagent) along with permanganate, persulfate, and zero valent iron (ZVI) to destroy organic contaminants including chlorinated solvents, DNAPLs, petroleum hydrocarbons, coal tar, energetics, pesticides, PAHs, and chloromethanes. A more recent patent (U.S. 8,556,537, granted 2020) protects a manganese-mediated redox combined oxidant process. Service delivery spans site evaluation, bench-scale treatability studies at an in-house lab, pilot-scale field demonstrations, and full-scale treatment programs deployed via permanent and temporary injection wells, vent wells, soil mixing, and hydraulic slurry emplacement.

The business operates as a B2B professional services firm on a direct sales motion, engaging contaminated site owners/operators with a structured workflow from site data intake through preliminary budgetary estimates (≈1 week turnaround) to formal proposals (2–4 weeks) and either fixed-price or outcome-based pay-for-performance contracts. Customers are concentrated in government/military (Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, EPA Superfund sites), industrial/manufacturing (active electronics facilities, former chemical plants), and real estate developers redeveloping Brownfields (City of Orlando / Orlando Events Center, Orlando Magic arena). Since 1995 the company has executed hundreds of programs across the United States, Canada, and Europe, including several of the largest sites ever addressed with chemical remediation. The company is founder-led by Jim Wilson; no external investors, parent, or subsidiary entities are disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Environmental Remediation Services: Full-service chemical remediation firm providing design and implementation of in-situ chemical remediation technologies. Revenue generated through service contracts for site evaluation, bench-scale studies, pilot programs, full-scale treatment programs, and performance-based remediation contracts.
2. Pay-for-Performance Contracts: Performance-based contracts where pricing is based on the amount of contaminant reduction achieved. Stepped payment for percentage reductions. Only available for well characterized and delineated sites where full understanding of site information and contaminant mass is available.
3. Site-Specific Design and Proposal Services: Initial estimates (ballpark cost estimates or applicability reviews) and formal proposals (responsive design and cost for treatment programs). Typical turnaround: initial estimates about one week, formal proposals two to four weeks.
