Why Estimating and Tracking Contaminant Mass Removal is Important to Assessing Performance and Success of Thermal Remediation Projects
One of the most important and tangible metrics to a thermal remediation project’s progress is contaminant mass removal. Because thermal remediation is often considered one of the more costly...
How Do You Implement Below Building Remediation?
Cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination present beneath a building is one of the more complex challenges our clients face, made even more so if the building has limited access inside and/or must...
Treating Fractured Bedrock with In Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR)
The remediation of fractured bedrock sites is one of the most challenging environmental restoration problems. It requires: 1) defining the source zone and area of treatment in complex fractured settin...
Why is Adaptive Management Required During Thermal Remediation Implementation?
Environmental consultants know that even the most carefully researched and meticulously planned project cannot anticipate every possible scenario. But when unexpected challenges arise, how is adaptive...
Is it Safe to Perform Thermal Soil Remediation Projects in Residential Neighborhoods?
Steam floating out of the discharge stack, unusual sounds, and unfamiliar equipment are all things that can be found at a thermal remediation site. These factors, along with the presence of process eq...
6 Myths About Thermal Remediation Technologies Busted
If you are in need of contaminated soil remediation or have been involved in the procurement of in situ thermal remediation services, you know it’s an involved and often confusing process. It’s challe...
Is Remediation Performance Guarantee Worth the Premium?
I’m sure you have heard of thermal remediation vendors who loudly tout the fact that they offer a remediation performance guarantee. These performance guarantees often cost between 15 and 30% of the p...
How Can High-Resolution Site Characterization Reduce Cost and Improve Outcomes on Thermal Remediation Projects?
Every cubic yard of soil treated is dollars added to a project. Why treat more than you have to? Modern high-resolution site characterization (HRSC) tools provide consultants and remediation practitio...
Are We Done Yet? What to Expect for Remediation Treatment Duration
In situ thermal remediation (ISTR)—no matter which of the three main technologies (TCH, ERH, or SEE) is being used—is a process with very limited physical visibility of what is going on with...
How Can High Temperature Tackle Recalcitrant Contaminants?
Sites with coal tar, PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, dioxins, PFAS, heavy hydrocarbons, and mercury are tough to work on. The chemicals involved are hard to treat using traditional remediation methods, and si...
5 Reasons Thermal is the Go-To Solution for Source Zone Remediation
Today we know thermal remediation as a safe, practical, and cost-effective remediation method used all over the world for cleaning up contaminated soil and groundwater source zones. But why did ...
What You Need to Know About Above Ground Treatment Systems for Thermal Remediation Projects
When it comes to thermal remediation treatment systems, extracting the contaminants from the ground is only one part of the solution – another important component is addressing the vapor and liqu...
