Enhanced Thermal Conduction Technology
Treat Contaminated Soil On-Site and Remove Contingent Liability Associated with Dig and Dump Treatment Methods
Enhanced Thermal Conduction (ETC) Thermal Soil Remediation Technology
Iron Creek Group’s award-winning Enhanced Thermal Conduction (ETC) technology eliminates the need to excavate and transport petroleum-, explosive-, or PFAS-contaminated soils to landfills by treating them safely and effectively right at the source. This compact, mobile, and fully scalable system operates in virtually any environment—from the Arctic to Antarctica—while maintaining quiet, low-impact, and discrete operations. ETC’s indirect, flame-free process preserves soil structure, minimizes exposure risks, and produces negligible emissions, making it both environmentally responsible and safe to operate. By reducing the need for hauling materials, it lowers energy use, costs, and greenhouse gas emissions, while also removing long-term liability. The technology is uniquely efficient, and can even repurpose hydrocarbons from contaminated soil to fuel the remediation process itself. Once treatment is complete, the native soil is returned and naturally reactivated by rainfall, supporting revegetation and full ecosystem restoration.
Marwell Tar Pit, Whitehorse, B.C. 36,000 tons of soil was treated and backfilled. Approximately 1000 truckloads of highly contaminated soil was kept off of roads and diverted from landfills.
