TecZero™
Safely and efficiently eliminate organic contaminants from soils & sludges via a controlled zero-oxygen environment.
TecZero™ is proven to treat soils and sludges with a broad range of contaminants as well as mixed contaminants (such as pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated solvents). It is portable and easily transported to remote, challenging locations.
This innovative design treats contaminated material in a zero-oxygen environment using indirect heat. As the sludge and soil is heated, off-gases of contaminated vapors are directed to an exhaust header and into the after burner for destruction. This system allows for high-temperature treatment of materials (soil, sludges, solids) with no moving parts.
TecZero technology also allows for operation at lower temperatures compared to conventional remediation or desorption systems. The efficiency gains and improved control over the heating agent's flow enable extended durations of remediation without a significant increase in energy consumption. A notable advantage of operating at lower temperatures is the facilitation of easier permit or license acquisition for establishing remediation sites, thereby expanding the range of locations available for remediating contaminated materials.
Units are self-contained and scalable. There is no similar design in the industry today
A One-Step Solution for Refinery Tank Waste Treatment & PFAS-Contaminated Soils
TecZero’s one-step process allows refineries to streamline their turnaround times and it makes PFAS-contaminated soil remediation safer. This advanced bin-based design expands treatment capabilities while improving efficiency. By applying the same core conduction principles, TecZero effectively processes challenging materials such as sludges and high-moisture soils that are often difficult to treat with conventional methods. Its indirect heating approach significantly reduces off-gas volumes, simplifying and streamlining the associated air treatment systems. The units are fully self-contained and modular, allowing for scalable deployment tailored to site-specific needs. With its unique design—unlike anything currently available in the industry—TecZero offers a versatile, efficient, and innovative solution for complex material treatment challenges.
Benefits of TecZero™ Technology
Small footprint bin/batch process – in zero oxygen environment
Mobile, innovative design
Allows for the recovery of hydrocarbons and drilling fluids
Allows treatment of very wet material with no pre-screening required
No reject waste post treatment
Maximizes thermal efficiency (approaching 100%)
High throughput with minimal project staffing
Flexible: Heating time, temperature, configuration
Eliminates the necessity for physical manipulation of the contaminated material, a process commonly performed by augers or rotation of the drum or trommel in current systems, resulting in additional energy saving
Remediation processes meet the most stringent environmental regulations
Safety is Our Number One Priority
Our technology is designed to meet the most rigorous regulatory standards because we understand the biggest liability to site remediation is human health and safety.
