This page provides you with access to an immersive learning experience, where you can discover the latest developments, best practices, and innovative solutions in the field of thermal remediation. From exploring case studies to discussing emerging technologies, our webinar series is designed to empower you with the expertise needed to make informed decisions and drive positive change.
Upcoming Webinars
Getting Started with Thermal Remediation
January 29, 2025 | 10:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM Eastern
In this first webinar of our series titled “The Nuts and Bolts of Thermal Remediation,” we will introduce the fundamentals of thermal remediation, covering the key contaminant removal and destruction mechanisms as well as the primary thermal technologies available. We will explore the benefits and limitations of each technology in relation to site geology and hydrogeology, addressing conditions like above and below the water table, high permeability / high groundwater flow settings, fractured bedrock, and complex sites with mixed permeability layers.
We will also cover the three basic thermal treatment approaches: low (35 to 90°C), moderate (100°C), and high temperature (greater than 100°C), discussing their sweet spots, what contaminants can be treated with each, and why you would choose one over the others. The session will wrap up with a case study demonstrating how multiple thermal technologies were successfully combined to effectively treat a CVOC DNAPL site with both low and high groundwater flow conditions.

Thermal Treatment: A Reliable Option For Your Bedrock Source Zone
Treating fractured bedrock is complex, and effective remedial options are limited. Due to the fractured nature of rock, contamination can migrate deep, and pathways out of the bedrock system are limited.
One of the most effective and reliable methods of treating fractured bedrock is to use thermal technologies.
In this webinar, presenters Steffen Griepke, VP of Technology at TerraTherm and Niels Ploug, Product Manager at Krüger will discuss the treatment of bedrock source zones, including:
- The challenges of removing volatile organic compounds (VOC) from fractured rock
- The pros and cons of the most common thermal treatment technologies in bedrock settings
- Design considerations and field implementation challenges
The prerecorded presentation will be peppered with examples and results from the many thermal sites successfully treated by the combined TerraTherm and Krüger teams. Steffen and Niels will also share highlights from a recently completed project—the world’s deepest thermal remediation project of crystalline rock, treated to a total depth of 170 ft.
ISTR in Fractured Bedrock
Treating fractured bedrock is complex, and effective remedial options are limited. Due to the fractured nature of rock, contamination can migrate deep, and pathways out of the bedrock system are limited.
Using thermal technologies is one of the most effective and reliable methods of treating fractured bedrock.
In this flash webinar, presenters Steffen Griepke and John LaChance, (VPs of Technology and Development, respectively) discuss the treatment of bedrock source zones, including:
- The challenges of removing CVOCs and DNAPL from fractured rock
- The pros and cons of the most common thermal treatment technologies in bedrock settings
- Design considerations and field implementation challenges
This recorded webinar will include examples and results from bedrock sites successfully remediated using thermal. Steffen and John will also share highlights from a completed project—the world’s deepest thermal remediation project in crystalline rock, treated to a total depth of 170 ft.
If you are involved in the evaluation or remediation of any bedrock sites, this is a webinar you want to watch.
Thermal Remedy of Fractured Crystalline Rock
Investigating and remediating fractured rock can be a lot more complex than treating a porous media like sand or clay. This webinar will present information and data from projects where thermal remediation was successfully used to clean up sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous bedrock. The removal mechanisms as well as challenges for using thermal remediation technologies in fractured rock will also be reviewed, along with technology applicability and costs.
