Austere Environmental, Inc. Receives State Grant to build Austere Remediation Unit
Golden, CO – Austere Environmental, Inc. is pleased to announce it has been awarded an Early-Stage Capital and Retention grant through the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) Advanced Industries Accelerator program. This funding will help further the development of our Austere Remediation Units, which clean petroleum-contaminated waste streams.
“Our remediation equipment eliminates the need to ship contaminated soil while recovering valuable petroleum for our clients. The additional funding will go towards equipment to build our first pilot plant.” said Dr. Curtis Purrington
The Early-Stage Capital and Retention grant supports businesses commercializing innovative and disruptive technologies in the advanced industries that will be created or manufactured in Colorado. These grants help promote the growth and sustainability of advanced industries across the state by driving innovation and commercialization that move this vital part of the Colorado economy forward.
Austere Environmental, Inc. was awarded $60,000 to build our pilot Austere Remediation Unit. These funds will go towards the construction of a 20-ton unit pilot plant. Capable of extracting petroleum and water from the soil. The soil generated is only 100ppm TPH, five times lower than the required TPH limits. This will allow Austere Environmental to generate revenue and demonstrate the benefits of our extraction technology to our customers.
“Across the state, companies are rethinking existing technologies and inventing new ones within the advanced industries sector. Their success will create good-paying jobs in Colorado and has the potential to change lives across the state and beyond. We are thrilled to be able to support their development and look forward to celebrating future accomplishments,” said Rama Haris, Advanced Industries Senior Manager at OEDIT.
