Iron Creek Group’s award-winning Enhanced Thermal Conduction (ETC) technology safely and efficiently provides ex-situ soil remediation. Treatment is enclosed safely destroying organic contaminants. Treated soil is delisted and backfilled on-site.
Iron Creek Group’s compact and scalable enhanced thermal conduction technology can quickly mobilize to your location, no matter the climate. Within days the technology can be operational, safely destroying organic contaminants.
Our Technology
Eliminates petroleum-, creosote-, explosive-, PFAS variant- and other organic contaminants.
Eliminates the need to excavate and haul hazardous waste to landfills, increasing liability.
Preserves soil structure and minimizes exposure risks while producing negligible emissions.
Delists and declassifies waste, removing long-term liability.
Enhanced Thermal Conduction (ETC) is Iron Creek Group’s ex-situ thermal treatment system purpose-built for contaminated soils. Excavated soil is enclosed within an air-tight treatment cell, where indirect heat drives off organic contaminants without direct flame contact with the material. Vaporized contaminants are captured and destroyed. The result? Treated soil is contaminant free and meets the strictest regulatory requirements. The soil can be backfilled to the site — no hauling hazardous waste, no landfill disposal or imported soil required.
Both ETC and TecZero™ are ex-situ thermal technologies. Material is excavated and treated to regulatory requirements. The difference? ETC is designed for drier soil that can be stacked directly over heating elements and enclosed for treatment. TecZero™ can treat at very high temperatures. It is also ideal for treating wet, sludgy materials like refinery tank sludge, wastewater biosolids and similarly saturated waste that ETC’s stacking method isn’t suited to. This is why TecZero™ is built to treat wet material without prescreening. In practice, site assessment and contaminant determines which system fits a given job, and some sites may require both technologies.
Why ETC Technology
Iron Creek Group’s ETC technology addresses soil contamination safely and efficiently. It’s also typically more cost-effective than alternative treatment methods.
Reduces transportation, landfill disposal, and overall remediation expenses.
Recovered hydrocarbons help power the remediation process.
Treat contaminated soil anywhere in the world, in any climate, within days.
Through intelligent design and proven success, our state-of-the-art technologies surpass traditional waste remediation methods.
