Lessons Learned from Two Phases of TCH Treatment at a Former MGP SiteLessons Learned from Two Phases of TCH Treatment at a Former MGP Site

Originally broadcast on Oct 23, 2024

Join us for a webinar exploring the insights gained from a successful thermal remediation project at a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site. Learn how a Pre-Design Investigation followed by two phases of Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH) treatment effectively removed mobile non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) and significantly reduced contaminant leachability and concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil.

Key takeaways:

  • Pre-Design Investigation: Understand how a pre-design investigation led to defining the target treatment zone and gathering critical design parameters.
  • Navigating complex site conditions: Learn how TCH was tailored to overcome challenges posed by subsurface structures, varying soil conditions, and the presence of an active sewer line.
  • Optimizing treatment parameters: Discover how data from Phase I informed the design and implementation of the second phase of treatment, ensuring incorporation of lessons learned that resulted in energy and costs savings.
  • Understanding mass recovery and treatment effectiveness: Gain insights into the factors influencing mass removal, in situ destruction of mass through smoldering, and the level of treatment achieved at 100°C.
  • Minimizing environmental impacts: Explore strategies for mitigating potential impacts to adjacent infrastructure and the surrounding community during TCH operations.

Whether you’re facing a complex MGP site or a similar contaminated site, this webinar will provide valuable insights into the practical application of thermal remediation and the importance of data-driven decision-making. Walk away with a deeper understanding of how to optimize TCH strategies for challenging sites and achieve successful project outcomes.
