Upcoming Webinars
Thermal Remediation for Total PFAS Destruction in Contaminated Source Zones
PFAS source zones present a significant challenge for conventional remediation technologies, which often rely on containment or phase transfer rather than permanent destruction. To address this limitation, TerraTherm has developed and field-demonstrated a high-temperature thermal treatment approach designed to achieve destructive treatment of PFAS and associated fluorinated compounds in both the treated media and extracted vapor stream.
This webinar will summarize the results of an ESTCP-funded pilot-scale demonstration of our high temperature treatment technology for the remediation of PFAS-impacted soil and sediment. Presenters will explain the technology, what happens to PFAS in soil and sediment when heated to high temperatures, and how vapor treatment systems are designed to capture and treat all PFAS, including degradation products, and fluorine.
In addition, operational insights from the demonstration and key design considerations for full scale treatment will be presented, including in situ and ex situ applications, integration of vapor treatment systems, emissions management, and strategies for achieving and verifying emissions.
Key Learning Points
- Understand how high-temperature thermal treatment can achieve >99.9% destruction of PFAS in soil and sediment
- Learn how to use laboratory and field pilot test data to evaluate PFAS destruction, mineralization, and fluorine mass balance.
- Discover how integrated vapor treatment, catalyst media, and emissions monitoring help support safe, defensible implementation.
Why Attend
Attend this webinar to understand where thermal remediation fits within PFAS source-zone cleanup and what field pilot data indicate about its potential for permanent destruction. You will leave with a clearer view of the technology, design considerations, and key performance questions to ask before selecting a destructive remedy.

Heat It Up: How High Temp Thermal Tackles Recalcitrant Chemicals
What do coal tar, PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, dioxins, PFAS and mercury all have in common?
They’re all recalcitrant chemicals that are hard to treat using traditional remediation methods. Sites with these contaminants are nearly unaffected even by thermal treatments reaching the boiling point of water. Luckily, high temperature thermal conductive heating (TCH) can reach temperatures of more than 300°C, high enough to address these difficult chemicals.
In this webinar, TerraTherm’s Steffen Griepke will discuss where high temperature thermal is applicable, what chemicals can be targeted and what results can be achieved. Different implementation approaches tailored to the site specific circumstances will be presented, and both in situ and ex situ case study examples will be provided. Steffen will draw on TerraTherm’s 25 years of experience working with high temp thermal projects to answer participant questions during the Q&A.
If you have interest in cleaning up some the most difficult chemicals out there, this is a webinar you don’t want to miss.
Thermal Remediation of High Mass Hydrocarbon Sites: When NAPL Capture Governs the Mass Recovery
On sites with contaminant masses counted in the hundred-thousand to million pound range, it’s imperative you choose the right technology for your remedy.
Thermal Technologies are widely used to target high mass contaminated sites where non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) are known to be present. While the geology and hydrogeology of a site typically is a driving factor for technology selection, the mass distribution, chemical composition and thermal behavior for the site contaminants are often the key drivers in determining in which phase the mass is mobilized, and thus the extraction strategy. For VOCs, mobilization in the vapor phase typically fully governs the mass removal. However, for more complex mixtures of high boiling point hydrocarbons, that may not be the case.
In this webinar, Technology Director Steffen Griepke explains what to consider when selecting and designing your thermal remedy for optimized mass removal. He shares best practices and examples drawn from the two decades he worked in thermal remediation.
Real-Time Solutions to Unexpected Challenges Encountered During Thermal Remedy Implementation
An in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) design may look good on paper, but how will it perform in the field?
Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH), Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) and Steam Enhanced Extraction (SEE) are widely used thermal technologies capable of effectively remediating a variety of chemicals in various varying subsurface settings, yet sometimes operations do not perform as planned. Due to the aggressive nature of thermal remediation in parallel with pro-active monitoring, operational challenges must be addressed immediately, typically within days rather than weeks. Lessons learned from more than 100 full-scale TCH, ERH and SEE projects will be discussed, focusing on common operational challenges that arise during full-scale thermal projects.
