Roughly 6.48 million liters of hydrocarbon liquids have leaked onto soil and water between 1990 and 2012 in Alberta alone. Treatment of hydrocarbon contaminants in soil using oxidizing chemicals often fall short at high and low temperatures leading to secondary pollution of the soil. Hanalta Industries Ltd. and the University of Calgary have formed a research collaboration to investigate and develop cost-effective and energy-efficient techniques to treat hydrocarbon contaminants in soil and water using Electromagnetic heating. A novel electromagnetic open probe test setup will be developed to measure Electromagnetic field propagation and transduction into heat within different mixtures of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and water as a function of frequency and environmental conditions. Optimal frequency bands for Electric and Magnetic fields used to heat of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and water will be determined, and a wireless transmitter test system to irradiate and desorb hydrocarbon contaminants from contaminated soil and water samples will be developed at those optimal frequencies.

仅在阿尔伯塔，1990年至2012年期间就有大约648万升碳氢化合物液体泄漏到土壤和水中。使用氧化化学品处理土壤中的碳氢化合物污染物在高温和低温下往往达不到要求，导致土壤的二次污染。Hanalta Industries Ltd.和卡尔加里大学已经形成了一个研究合作，研究和开发具有成本效益和能源效率的技术，使用电磁加热处理土壤和水中的碳氢化合物污染物。 将开发一种新型的电磁开放式探头测试装置，以测量电磁场的传播和转换成热在不同的碳氢化合物污染的土壤和水的混合物作为频率和环境条件的函数。 将确定用于加热碳氢化合物污染土壤和水的电场和磁场的最佳频带，并将在这些最佳频率下开发用于从污染土壤和水样品中照射和解吸碳氢化合物污染物的无线发射器测试系统。
