Thermal Conduction Heating
Welcome to our thermal soil remediation blog series! We're excited to share with you how we use heat to eliminate hazardous pollutants and create sustainable land. In this series, you'll learn about Thermal Conduction Heating, Steam Enhanced Extraction, and Electrical Resistance Heating. We'll provide you with expert insights, case studies, and resources to help you succeed in the field. Keep reading!
Two Major Challenges with Fractured Rock Sites
Fractured rock sites are challenging to remediate because it is often difficult to determine how deep non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) has gone, and to define what we refer to as the “source area.” Som...
Frequently Asked Questions About High Temperature Thermal Conductive Heating for PFAS
Treating soil impacted with Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) is difficult to do using traditional remediation methods due to their recalcitrant nature. Because of their chemi...
Why In Situ Thermal Remediation Should be Considered for Treatment of MGP Sites
Are you remediating a former Manufacturing Gas Plant (MGP) site and considering excavation, in situ soil mixing/stabilization, or in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO)? Then you might...
PFAS Thermal Remediation: Should It Be On Your List of Options?
The need for remediation of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is growing substantially as a result of increased regulatory attention to this emerging contaminant. Stockpiles of PFAS contamina...
