Project Operations

Applying Enhanced Thermal Conduction (ETC) technology to batch-treat soil onsite, heated air was used to conductively heat soil and vaporize the contaminants. The process is unique in that it can achieve cleanup criteria more efficiently than conventional thermal technologies. Rather than move/tumble the soil, it relies on vapor pressures to move the vaporized contaminants from the soil and into the off-gas treatment unit.

Planned Customer Results

A total of 5,264.53 tons of sediments were successfully treated to regulatory criteria.  The Operational Uptime for this project was 99.997%. The project was completed with a 100% safety record.
