Thermal Remediation: GEO’s Cutting-Edge Cleanup Solutions

GEO Remediation Co is not just another remediation company; it is a pioneer in thermal remediation, employing advanced technologies like Electric Resistive Heating (ERH) and Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH) to deliver rapid, thorough cleanup of contaminated soils and groundwater. Unlike generic approaches, GEO integrates real-time monitoring and control systems to ensure precise temperature management across multiple depths, allowing contaminants to be volatilized and captured effectively.

Why Thermal Remediation?

• Comprehensive contaminant removal: Thermal methods heat the subsurface to target temperatures, mobilizing volatile organic compounds, semi-volatiles, and other recalcitrant contaminants.

• Controlled temperature profiles: GEO’s proprietary systems manage multi-depth temperature control, ensuring uniform treatment across heterogeneous soils and geologies.

• Vapor treatment & emissions management: Off‑gas from heating is captured through advanced vapor treatment units (C3/GTR) that destroy or treat contaminants before release, protecting workers and communities.

Integrated Monitoring & Control

GEO’s projects feature continuous monitoring, using embedded sensors and SCADA systems to track temperatures, pressures, and contaminant concentrations. This data-driven approach allows real-time adjustments and ensures regulatory compliance.

Case Study: Former Industrial Site Redevelopment

At a heavily contaminated industrial site, GEO deployed a thermal remediation system combining ERH and TCH to treat chlorinated solvents and hydrocarbons. Multi-depth heating wells raised subsurface temperatures to over 100°C, and vapors were collected and processed through the C3 vapor treatment unit. Within months, contaminant concentrations fell below regulatory thresholds, allowing redevelopment of the site into a commercial complex.

Benefits of GEO’s Thermal Remediation

• Accelerated cleanup timelines with precise temperature control.

• Complete contaminant destruction and minimized long-term liabilities.

• Enhanced safety through controlled emissions and monitoring.

• Regulatory compliance and facilitation of site redevelopment.
