Selection and Design of Vapor and Liquid Treatment Systems
April 23, 2025 | 10:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM Eastern
Vapor and liquid extraction and treatment systems are essential components of in situ thermal remediation (ISTR). These maintain pneumatic and hydraulic control during all phases of heating to ensure that the contaminants of concern (COCs) are effectively captured and removed from the treatment zone and unwanted mobilization and spreading are prevented.
Once recovered, the COCs must be removed from the vapor and liquid streams for proper disposal. In this fourth webinar in our series titled “The Nuts and Bolts of Thermal Remediation,” we will look at how vapor and liquid extraction and treatment systems are designed.
Presenter Steffen Griepke will draw on his experience to cover:
- Choosing the right treatment technologies for specific COCs and mass levels.
- Special considerations for treating PFAS and 1,4-dioxane.
- The fundamental components of ISTR treatment systems.
- Selecting appropriate materials for vapor manifolds and treatment equipment.
- The role of the mass and energy balance in sizing equipment and in managing the cooling and heating loads.
- Effective strategies for handling non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) recovered from the treatment zone or condensed out in the vapor manifold and equipment.
Key Steps for Installation of Thermal Remediation Systems
May 28, 2025 | 10:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM Eastern
As the design of your thermal remediation project nears completion, it is time to start planning for system installation and construction. In the 5th webinar of our six-part series, “The Nuts and Bolts of Thermal Remediation,” we will cover the key steps to ensure a successful wellfield installation and system construction program.
We will discuss what’s needed to prepare your site for safe and efficient drilling and well installation, including:
- Utility locating
- Clearing and abandonment
- Rig access and sequence planning
- Managing overhead utilities
- Drilling inside buildings
- Investigation Derived Waste (IDW) screening and handling
- Oversight and logging
- Opportunities to collect contaminant data and refine the site CSM during installation
Additionally, we will cover the essential aspects of installing the extraction and treatment systems, along with the power supply equipment. This includes materials and equipment off-loading and staging, determining equipment size and location, placing the power drop, primary transformer, and power distribution and control panels; and managing any site access challenges.
Monitoring and Evaluating Thermal Remediation Operations
June 25, 2025 | 10:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM Eastern
Join us for the final session of our 6-part series, "The Nuts and Bolts of Thermal Remediation." In this session, we will cover the critical components for achieving successful thermal remediation operations:
- Startup Procedures: Best practices for initiating your thermal remediation project.
- Operational Tasks: Key insights into monitoring, controlling, and troubleshooting heating, extraction, and treatment systems.
- Data-Driven Decisions: How to leverage data collection, processing, and visualization to optimize system performance.
- Defining Success: The importance of setting clear project objectives and using KPIs to measure success.
Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your thermal remediation expertise and wrap up our comprehensive series with practical strategies and knowledge!

Low Temperature Thermal – The Sustainable Thermal Remediation Approach
“Thermal” and “sustainable” in the same sentence?!
Yes! Although most often associated with a high demand for resources and infrastructure, thermal remediation can be accomplished sustainably.
In this flash webinar, John LaChance and Erin Hauber will explain how low-temperature thermal technology can address your challenges in an environmentally and economically friendly manner. They will describe how the technology works, and the remediation mechanisms targeted by low-temperature thermal. They’ll also cover which contaminants of concern (COCs) are most suited for this approach, costs, and timeframe.
John and Erin will answer questions during a Q&A at the end of the presentation, so be sure to submit yours during registration.
