Buena was founded in 1993 as an environmental services company. Buena provides property assessments as Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, Phase II site investigations for defining the type and extent of contamination plume on a particular site, and Phase III remediation work. The remediation work may consist of simply removal and disposal of the contaminant or treatment of the material in-situ. Buena has utilized vapor extraction to remove gasoline contaminant, ex-situ bio remediation of oils and solvent chemicals and in-situ bioremediation with vapor extraction assist. Buena has closed hundreds of impacted sites in California and Mexico for Pemex Oil. Buena also has now began work as a General Engineering contractor working on general civil projects. These include drainage and road work, demolition work and oil field support work.
Buena has just completed a $1.7 MM project for Southern California Gas Company at their Northridge Alisos Canyon gas storage facility. This work consisted of removal of a large slide and construction of concrete swales and culvert drainages, construction of a new section of paved road, and demolition of several pipelines and foundations for the facility.
Solar Power Systems
Solar Power has focused on large solar photovoltaic systems (100 KW or larger) with two installations completed. These units provide 100% of a facilities power with grid-tied systems providing seamless power supply to the customer. Both installation were on new elevated structures providing covered parking for equipment and/or cars.
Solar Power has recently ventured into solar thermal projects utilizing a Bejing process that was developed in conjunction with a large aerospace firm. This systems uses sealed cylinders to collect energy to heat water up to 210 °F for pre-heating water. These systems can have payback periods less than 4 years as the efficiency of these units can approach 60% as opposed to electric photovoltaic systems that operate around 15%.
Everyday the sun shines on the earth, there are approximately 1,000 watts of power per square meter. Solar systems simply collect a portion of that energy and converts it to an energy system that industry and the consumer can utilize in place of common fossil fuels.
