Battelle 2018 Poster: Thermal Treatment - How Much Energy Does it Take?

Thermal Conductive Heating (TCH), Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) and Steam Enhanced Extraction (SEE) are widely used thermal technologies capable of effectively remediating a variety of chemicals from different geological settings, ranging from tight clays to permeable sands. During thermal applications, the energy needed to reach project goals, is one of the major resources that contributes to the environmental footprint and cost associated with implementing these thermal technologies.

It is crucial that sufficient energy is delivered to the subsurface to overcome site heat demands, balance heat losses, and facilitate enough boiling and steam stripping. This study focused on a detailed analysis of these energy needs.
