Quotations from the FoundersBusinesses and governments are discovering that In Situ Thermal Remediation is among the fastest and most cost-effective ways to turn liabilities and environmental threats into useful sites and productive assets. It has been very rewarding to see our technology be adopted as a preferred way to achieve predictably excellent results in a short time-frame. Where once project leaders would resort to noisy, disruptive and dusty dig-and-haul solutions or slow and costly pump-and-treat options, increasingly they choose a more effective, more community friendly and highly reliable option in thermal remediation. We’re proud to be the leading player in this field and to see so many sites brought back to community use, and numerous threats to clean water permanently addressed.
-Ralph Baker
TerraTherm’s success can be attributed to the talent and dedication of our people, our leadership in technology, and our innovative use of combined thermal remediation technologies to provide a truly tailored fit for a given site. The contaminants, geology, hydrology and location of each site dictate a specific, well-reasoned project design. Because our team has extensive experience with proprietary thermal conduction heating, steam enhanced extraction, and electrical resistance heating approaches, we can provide the best possible design and execution without prejudices to any given technology. We have also succeeded by continuously refining our processes over more than 40 sites all over the world. TerraTherm has continued to show innovation and our commitment to efficiency and cost-competitiveness by introducing our “Tier One” pricing option, reducing the time and costs needed to deliver our services. Our achievements and growth as a company have been recognized and honored by several awards. This past year, TerraTherm has been awarded with the 2014 ZweigWhite Best Firms to Work For Award and was recognized as one of U.S. and Canada’s fastest growing firms, according to the ZweigWhite 2014 Hot Firm List. We have also been awarded a Gold Medal by EBJ’s Business Achievement Awards for Business Achievement in the Midsize Firm category as well as a Project Merit Award for Remediation.

PROJECT NEWS:SRSNE Superfund SiteSouthington, CT 2014-ongoingTerraTherm has recently completed its final progress soil sampling effort of Phase 1 at the Solvents Recovery Service on New England, Inc. (SRSNE) Superfund Site in Southington, Connecticut. The site’s total target treatment zone covers an area of approximately 74,195 square feet and an approximate volume of 47,298 cubic yards. More on this site here.
Pharmacia & Upjohn Company LLC SiteNorth Haven, CT2011-2012Pharmacia & Upjohn site featured on the EPA’s Green Remediation Focus as part of a multi-solution remediation at this 78-acre site. The Green Remediation Strategy focuses on: (1) conducting a quantitative analysis of the carbon footprint of remedial activities, and identifying opportunities to reduce the footprint, (2) incorporating green remediation best management practices such as re-using onsite soil, sediment, and debris generated during remedy construction, (3) revitalizing the site’s ecological systems in a manner that complements the Quinnipiac River system and (4) integrating the community’s vision for future use.
TerraTherm will operate a full-scale In Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD)project in at this location in 2015.

TerraTherm’s Thermal TechnologiesThermal Conduction HeatingTerraTherm offers low, moderate, and high temperature applications of Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH), as incorporated within TerraTherm’s proprietary In Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD) technology.
Thermal Conduction is the process of heat flowing from the hot end of a solid object (like an iron rod) to the cold end. In soil or rock, heat flows from TerraTherm’s heater wells out into the formation by grain-to-grain contact (in soil) and across solid objects (rocks).
The TCH technology can be utilized to heat in situ soils and stockpiled soils and sediments. The design of the treatment system of in situ soils typically includes vertically installed heaters whereas the design of the treatment system for the stockpiled soils (In-Pile Thermal Desorption®, or IPTD®) can incorporate vertical or horizontal heater wells.
Steam Enhanced Extraction (SEE) is a highly effective technology used in the recovery of free product and the remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) since the mid-1990s.
SEE achieves on-site separation and treatment through steam injection into wells and extractions of hot fluids. Steam propagation is a stable and predictable process, governed by heat transfer to the formation and has been studied intensively and utilized for oil recovery and remediation of a wide-range of contaminants.
Steam Enhanced Extraction
TerraTherm offers an advanced form of Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) called Electro-Thermal Dynamic Stripping Process or ET-DSPTM. ET-DSPTM has been field proven on over 30 successful projects by our technology partner, McMillan-McGee Corporation. ERH has been widely applied and proven effective for free product recovery and enhanced vapor extraction at sites with volatile contaminants such as VOCs, CVOCs, and NAPLs, and is applied at low and moderate temperatures.
Electric Resistance Heating
SEE may be combined with either ISTD or with ET-DSPTM. Together these combinations comprise a glove-fit design for sites with complex geologies (e.g., silty clay aquitards, and sandy or gravelly aquifers).
A combination approach often addresses the entire target treatment zone. At each well location, either a single full-length TCH heating element or one or more ET-DSPTM electrodes is used along the depth interval of the low-permeability material, while steam is injected into wells screened in the permeable zones. Extraction wells exert hydraulic and pneumatic control.

TerraTherm has recently become a Gold Sponsor of Remediation Workshop, an organization that supports educational workshops on soil and groundwater remediation technologies.
Last year over 1700 environmental professionals registered for Remediation Workshops in 32 different cities. This year, 40 of these popular workshops will be held in cities across the United States. Registration is free and attendees will earn a certificate worth 4 PDHs.
The 2015 remediation workshop series will feature three workshops hosted by TerraTherm. The first one will be held in Los Angeles, California on February 3rd. There will also be one in Milwaukee, WI on October 1st and another in Boston, MA on November 4th. The workshops will feature educational presentations from remediation industry professionals on various subjects and the opportunity to network with other professionals in the field.
In addition, TerraTherm will be speaking and exhibiting at several of the other workshops throughout the year.

What is TerraTherm’s Tier One Pricing?
Through continuous improvement in our processes, application of extensive value engineering and use of sustainable methodologies, we have developed an expedited project delivery approach. Intended for use at “smaller” thermal sites, it is based on simplified design deliverables, standardized heating systems, and a modular pre-engineered treatment system. The essential data are collected, and the thermal process is optimized so the time and energy needed for reaching remedial goals is minimized. TerraTherm Tier One gives you TerraTherm quality and results at a reduced price with the benefit of TerraTherm’s proven track record, knowledge base and range of heating technologies. With TerraTherm Tier One pricing, you get all of the technology, expertise and finely-honed implementation skills that we apply to the most complex projects but at a highly competitive price.
5 Ways We Have Reduced Cost:
1. Pre-engineered solutions;2. Plug and play equipment components;3. Sustainability analysis and energy optimization;4. New centralized workshop to build and maintain a large fleet of
equipment; and, 5. Improved accuracy of subsurface models and data management - no
energy wasted, essential data provided.
Qualifying Sites – Characteristics:Smaller treatment zones, simple geology, modest chemical mass, expedited regulatory process, well-defined objectives, volatile contaminants (such as CVOCs).
