TerraTherm’s Continued Growth in 2014: A Year in Review

Posted on December 18, 2014 by John Bierschenk

The application of In Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) for treatment of subsurface contaminants continued to grow in 2014. With the emergence of ISTR as a proven source area remediation tool and with the number of projects increasing rapidly worldwide, comes the rumbling of a paradigm shift in the remediation industry. Only 20 years ago, it would have seemed impossible to remediate the types of sites that are currently being treated with ISTR to the same degree that we are now consistently doing. Throughout our nearly 15 years of operation, TerraTherm has been a solution for clients who wish to quickly, … Continue reading →

5 Compelling Reasons Why Thermal Remediation’s Global Footprint is Rapidly Expanding

Posted on May 8, 2013 by John Bierschenk

After attending the AquaConSoil conference in Barcelona, Spain last week, I’m struck by the impact that thermal remediation is having around the globe.  Until a few decades ago, In-Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) was only confined to R&D projects by a few major oil companies, notably Shell.  Today, ISTR has become mainstream remediation technology in the USA and is routinely considered for grossly contaminated properties. Global awareness and implementation are also accelerating, with applications documented on four continents. At AquaConSoil, an entire session was dedicated to thermal remediation.  TerraTherm also participated in two thermal remediation workshops organized by Krüger and TAUW, … Continue reading →
