Geochemical consultancy

Quintessa has in-depth expertise in the synthesis and analysis of geochemical data and the modelling of coupled geochemical transport processes, in support of key decisions in the environmental, radioactive waste, geothermal energy, CO₂ storage and Oil & Gas sectors.

Recent projects have included:

• Principal Component Analysis and visualisation of hydrogeochemical data.
• Calculation of solubility limits for radioelements in seabed sediments.
• Coupled diffusion and nonlinear chemical reaction modelling of bentonite buffer material subject to chemical and thermal perturbations, using the in-house geochemical modelling software, Raiden.
• Interactions of hyperalkaline porefluids with bentonite...more

Quintessa can also advise clients about the role of geochemistry in site investigation and characterisation, including: sampling strategies and protocols, the role of palaeohydrology, the use of isotopic techniques to determine groundwater residence time and provenance, principal component analysis, and water rock modelling. Quintessa has staff and associates with over 2 decades of experience in groundwater investigation and modelling.
