Designing an Effective (and Safe) Thermal System at Fractured Rock Sites
In our previous blog post, Treatment of Fractured Rock – How is it Different? we introduced the two main challenges when working on fractured bedrock sites. We focused that post...
How Does ISTR Work on Petroleum Impacted Sites?
High mass petroleum hydrocarbon impacted sites present a unique challenge in environmental remediation, as they are often resistant to conventional in situ treatment methods. The...
Thermal Modeling: Science… or Magic?
Those of you that have been involved in thermal projects may have wondered how the subsurface conditions at your site ties into the rest of the thermal remedy. How is the...
Why Data Management is One of the Most Important Parts of a Thermal Remediation Project
Thermal remediation remedies can be highly effective but also resource intensive. Thermal project sites are also dynamic, with constantly changing variables that impact the final...
4 Common Questions About ISTR Treatments at Petroleum Impacted Sites
When TerraTherm, a Cascade Company experts present at a conference or a webinar, it doesn’t matter how much material they cover—there are always questions. After presenting a...
Why In Situ Thermal Remediation Should be Considered for Treatment of MGP Sites
Remediation of manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites typically target coal tar (which can exist as both LNAPL and/or DNAPL), and is usually treated by excavating and disposing of...
Why is it Important to Calculate Contaminant Mass?
Mass removal is a major focal point for all parties involved with an in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) project, but it is often not well defined or understood. Although the basis...
