OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART

EQUIPMENT POWERS PFAS REMEDIATION

Perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are harmful chemicals that seep into soil and waterways following industrial activities. Iron Creek Group’s industry-leading TecZero™ and Enhanced Thermal Conduction units remove “forever chemicals” like PFAS from soil through thermal conduction systems that turn the chemicals into vapor for destruction.

TECZERO™ AND ENHANCED THERMAL CONDUCTION (ETC):

RELIABLE PFAS
DESTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY

There are over 15,000 PFAS variants, so treatment requires nuance that we fully comprehend.

Here’s how Iron Creek Group’s technology addresses these nuances to restore soil health:

Both Enhanced Thermal Conduction and TecZero™ technologies use conduction, convection, oxidation, and vaporization processes.
These actions destroy perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl molecule bonds, reaching temperatures in excess of 1,800°F.
From small impacted surfaces to full-scale remediation of PFAS-impacted soil, our technology volatilizes the contaminant, effectively removing it from the soil.
Our pioneering machines offer similar processes, but while TecZero™ is a bin-based design that treats highly saturated soil, ETC comprises of treatment cells that treat “stackable” soil.
Both systems are scalable, portable, and ready to deploy to your site within days.

What Is PFAS?

and Why Is It Hard to Remediate?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic “forever chemicals” used for decades in firefighting foam, industrial processes, and consumer products. Their carbon-fluorine bonds are among the strongest in organic chemistry, making PFAS resistant to natural degradation and most conventional remediation methods. Left untreated, PFAS persists in soil and water indefinitely, migrating into groundwater and entering the food chain — which is why regulatory scrutiny, cleanup standards, and liability exposure around PFAS have sharply accelerated.

How Iron Creek Group Destroys PFAS

— Not Just Relocates It

Most conventional approaches to PFAS-contaminated soil don’t actually eliminate the contamination — they excavate the material and truck it to a landfill, or capture it via filtration, both of which relocate the liability rather than resolve it. Iron Creek Group’s ETC and TecZero™ systems instead excavate and treat material in a safe and controlled, ex-situ system, using thermal treatment to break the carbon-fluorine bond directly and destroy PFAS rather than shipping it off-site to become someone else’s problem later.

A Safer, More Affordable Path for Municipal Biosolids

Municipal wastewater treatment plants are facing a fast-closing set of options for what to do with biosolids. Land application — long the default, lowest-cost disposal path — is increasingly restricted or banned outright in states and provinces, since PFAS in biosolids can migrate into soil, crops, and groundwater once land-applied. That leaves municipalities choosing between rising landfill tipping fees, capital-intensive incineration infrastructure, or continued liability exposure from land application of PFAS-impacted material.

Iron Creek Group’s TecZero™ technology gives municipalities a third option: treat biosolids with the same modular, ex-situ thermal system used for industrial soil remediation. Because TecZero™ handles wet material without prescreening, it’s well-suited to biosolids as they come off the treatment process. PFAS and other organic contaminants get destroyed, delisting the waste and leaving safe, reusable biosolids.

What this means for a municipality:

  • Biosolids can be returned to safe use (land application, reuse, or standard disposal) instead of being treated as an indefinite regulatory and legal liability.
  • No new incineration infrastructure to permit, build, and operate.
  • Avoids the escalating cost and shrinking capacity of PFAS-restricted landfills.
  • Same modular, scalable deployment model sized to the plant's volume rather than a one-size-fits-all facility.

Why Clients Choose Iron Creek Group for PFAS

Destruction, Not Containment

PFAS is broken down using thermal treatment rather than trucked to a landfill, where it remains a long-term liability.

Mobile and Modular

Systems deploy to the site rather than requiring material to be trucked to a fixed facility.

No Pretreatment Required

Wet soils, sludges, and biosolids can be treated as received, without prescreening.

Regulatory-Grade Compliance

Treatment is designed to meet or exceed applicable regulatory PFAS standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are synthetic compounds with extremely stable carbon-fluorine bonds that resist natural breakdown. Conventional remediation methods that work on other organic contaminants often can’t break these bonds, which is why PFAS requires thermal treatment or other specialized destruction technology rather than bioremediation or excavation.
Iron Creek Group’s thermal technology is designed to destroy PFAS by breaking down its molecular structure, rather than transporting contaminated material to a landfill, which only relocates the liability.
Yes. TecZero™’s ability to treat wet material without prescreening makes it well-suited to biosolids as they come off the wastewater treatment process, destroying PFAS and other organic contaminants on-site.
Iron Creek Group’s technology meets and often exceeds the strictest regulatory requirements for contamination treatment. Once the waste water solids have been thoroughly treated with TecZero’s high-heat technology, the material will be free of PFAS contaminants and safe for land applications.
Iron Creek Group’s technology treats PFAS in contaminated soil at industrial and Superfund sites, brownfields, and former firefighting training areas, as well as PFAS-impacted biosolids at municipal wastewater treatment facilities.
Landfilling PFAS-contaminated material doesn’t eliminate the contamination — it transfers it to a facility that must then manage PFAS leachate indefinitely, and many landfills are increasingly restricted from accepting PFAS-impacted waste. On-site thermal destruction resolves the contamination directly, avoiding transport costs, landfill liability, and shrinking disposal capacity.
Yes. Treatment is designed to meet or exceed applicable EPA and state/provincial PFAS regulatory standards.
