Iron Creek - Model Tech Zero -Zero Oxygen Conduction Technology for Refinery Tank Waste Treatment & PFAS Elimination
TecZero is proven to treat soils and sludges with a broad range of contaminants as well as mixed contaminants (such as pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated solvents). It is portable and easily transported to remote, challenging location.
Safely and efficiently delist refinery sludge and process waste, eliminate PFAS and a range of organic contaminants via a controlled zero-oxygen environment with the most advanced and unique remediation technology in the industry.
This innovative design treats contaminated material in a zero-oxygen environment by heating a gas and flowing the heated gas through a conduction system within the heating chamber or bin. As the sludge and soil is heated, off-gases of contaminated vapors are directed to an exhaust header and into the after burner for destruction. This system allows for high-temperature treatment of materials (soil, sludges, solids) with no moving parts.
Alternatively, TecZero technology also allows for operation at lower temperatures compared to conventional remediation or desorption systems. The efficiency gains and improved control over the heating agent`s flow enable extended durations of remediation without a significant increase in energy consumption. A notable advantage of operating at lower temperatures is the facilitation of easier permit or license acquisition for establishing remediation sites, thereby expanding the range of locations available for remediating contaminated materials.
A One-Step Solution for Refinery Tank Waste Treatment & PFAS Elimination
- Small footprint bin/batch process – in zero oxygen environment
- Mobile, innovative design
- Allows for the recovery of hydrocarbons and drilling fluids
- Allows treatment of very wet material with no pre-screening required
- No reject waste post treatment
- Maximizes thermal efficiency (approaching 100%)
- High throughput with minimal project staffing
- Flexible: Heating time, temperature, configuration
- Eliminates the necessity for physical manipulation of the contaminated material, a process commonly performed by augers or rotation of the drum or trommel in current systems, resulting in additional energy saving
- Remediation processes meet the most stringent environmental regulations
Our clients depend on our team to deliver complete remediation of all organic contaminants, safely, on time, and on budget.
Treating Contaminants from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica
Reclaim land with explosives-impacted soil. Our Enhanced Thermal Conduction technology safely restores soil, allowing cities and states to safely rebuild. Pictured is a photo from the notable Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant in Ohio where artillery was made for WWII, the Korean and Vietnam War.
Restoring Antarctica`s Soil
Our technology meets the most stringent environmental regulations on the planet, taking our team to Antarctica to restore impacted soil in challenging conditions.
Soil Restoration Edson Pipeline
11,000 tons of hydrocarbon impacted soil in Edson, Alberta was restored in approximately 6 months. Our Enhanced Thermal Conduction technology utilizes petroleum-impacted soil to fuel the restoration treatment.
70-Year Old Hydrocarbon Contaminants
The remediation of this heavily impacted hydrocarbon dump site in Yukon’s City of Whitehorse took 11-months to fully restore.
- Safe, predictable & cost-effective.
- Proven methodologies to delist waste, reducing paperwork.
- On-site treatment eliminates the liability associated with transporting hazardous waste.
- Our patented systems are mobile, fitting into the cargo area of small planes, allowing for the restoration of contaminated soil and sediment in the most pristine places on Earth, like Antarctica and the Arctic Circle.
- Treated soil can be safely seeded and revegetated to facilitate surface reclamation, sustainable plant growth and equivalent land capability.
- There is no requirement for soil pre-treatment or screening.
- Our process is 100% waste free. There is no reject material from treatment.
- We work within the confines of the site and are proficient at adapting to meet the needs and regulations of the location
