Upcoming Webinars
Case Studies – Practical ISTR Solutions for Challenging CVOC Sites
When remediation projects face complex conditions, proven strategies make the difference. In this webinar, you will see how ISTR was applied to real-world sites with unique challenges and demanding cleanup goals. Our experts will share lessons learned and practical approaches that delivered results.
Key Highlights:
- How CSMs guided technology selection and system design
- Strategies for adapting designs when unforeseen conditions emerged
- Examples of installing wellfields beneath active buildings and infrastructure using angled and horizontal drilling
- Low temperature ISTR applications that simplified operations, reduced costs, and improved sustainability
You will also learn how some of these projects eliminated vapor extraction systems, lowered energy use, and still met stringent remedial goals.
Join us on April 22, 2026, for case studies that show how ISTR achieves success under real-world constraints.
Applying Heat for Complete and Permanent PFAS Remediation
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to challenge conventional remediation strategies, particularly when projects require permanent treatment, predictable performance, and confidence that contaminants are truly destroyed rather than transformed into other fluorinated compounds. As expectations for long-term stewardship and defensible cleanup strategies continue to evolve, project teams are increasingly being asked to demonstrate how proposed remedies address both current PFAS compounds and those that may become regulated in the future.
In this webinar, TerraTherm will evaluate how high temperature thermal remediation can be applied to PFAS impacted soil and sediment as a desorption and destructive treatment approach. Drawing on laboratory research and field experience, our technical experts will also present results from a recent field demonstration conducted as part of the Department of War Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) evaluation of PFAS destructive technologies (ER23-8372), highlighting treatment performance, contaminant removal mechanisms, and the role of system design in supporting reliable PFAS destruction.
What You’ll Learn:
- How high temperature thermal remediation systems are designed to treat PFAS and manage fluorinated byproducts using thermal desorption and thermal oxidation
- Key findings from laboratory studies that evaluated treatment temperatures, removal mechanisms, and PFAS breakdown during heating
- Results from a recent ESTCP field demonstration evaluating thermal treatment of PFAS impacted sediment using thermal desorption and thermal oxidation
- When high temperature thermal remediation may be an appropriate option during PFAS remedy evaluation and project planning
Join us on May 20, 2026, for a focused technical discussion that examines how high temperature thermal remediation is being used to completely and safely address one of today’s most persistent environmental contaminants while supporting long-term site management and redevelopment goals.

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.
