TecZero™ Technology

Streamline Remediation with TecZero™

Iron Creek Group’s proprietary TecZero™ technology removes and destroys PFAS contaminants, delists refinery waste, and kills invasive species effectively eradicating contaminants from soils and sludges.

Here’s why it is the smarter option over conventional remediation treatments:

Targeted Remediation

TecZero™ units are self-contained and scalable, with no moving parts, enabling precise site application and zero reject waste post-treatment.

Energy Efficient

Smaller footprint than typical remediation methods, with the ability to recover valuable hydrocarbons and drilling fluids for reuse.

Small Input, Max Output

The contaminated material does not need to be handled by crew members; machinery handles the loading and unloading.

No Pretreatment

TecZero™ can treat wet materials without prescreening, for faster treatment of soil and sludges.

How TecZero’s One-Step Process

Eradicates Harmful Contaminants

Iron Creek Group’s pioneering TecZero™ system streamlines soil remediation using a self-contained, modular bin structure that adapts to your worksite.

  • Removes contaminants like PFAS, pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated solvents from soil and sludge. Treatment also effectively removes biological challenges like invasive weeds.
  • Provides a highly-controlled environment with indirect heat achieving optimal temperatures for destruction, outperforming traditional remediation and desorption systems.
  • Treatment delists and declassifies waste, eliminating the need for the transport of hazardous waste to landfills.

Our Technology

Why TecZero™ Outperforms Conventional Remediation

No Import,
No Landfill

Because treated soil is backfilled on-site, clients never have to source or truck in replacement fill, and the original material never has to leave the property— unlike dig-and-dump remediation, which moves soil to a landfill and requires new fill to replace it.

Targeted, Scalable Treatment

TecZero™ units are self-contained and modular, with no moving parts — enabling precise application on-site and scaling up or down to match the size of the job.

Lower Energy Footprint

The system has a smaller physical and energy footprint than typical remediation methods, and is capable of recovering valuable hydrocarbons and drilling fluids for reuse rather than disposal.

Minimal Crew
Handling

Contaminated material is loaded and unloaded mechanically — reducing crew contact with hazardous material and the associated safety and liability exposure.

No Pretreatment Required

Unlike many thermal systems, TecZero™ treats wet material without prescreening, shortening the time between mobilization and active treatment.

A Beneficial Reuse Pathway

for PFAS-Impacted Biosolids

A Smarter Path for PFAS-Impacted Biosolids
Landfilling and incineration aren’t your only options for treating PFAS-impacted biosolids. Iron Creek Group’s TecZero™ thermal technology destroys organic contaminants while supporting beneficial reuse pathways. The modular, self-contained system functions without moving parts and does not require pre-treatment, helping wastewater management facilities simplify operations and ensure worker safety.
PFAS Remediation

Removing Biological Contamination

No Chemicals, No Regrowth

Eliminate Invasive Species Like Japanese Knotweed, Without Harming the Soil

Not every site challenge is chemical. TecZero™ is also effective against biological threats like Japanese Knotweed — one of the most difficult invasive species to permanently remove, since fragments of root left behind can regrow. TecZero™’s thermal process fully eliminates knotweed and its root system from treated soil, without the herbicides or repeated treatments conventional removal methods require, and without harming the soil itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

TecZero™ systems are compact and portable, typically deployable and operational within days of arrival, depending on site access and conditions — significantly faster than traditional dig-and-dump remediation timelines.
TecZero™ bins are compact enough for standard shipping or trucking. Once on-site, treatment cells scale to match the volume of contaminated material, from small urban parcels to large legacy industrial sites.
TecZero™ is ex-situ. In-situ methods require driving thermal probes into the ground, which risks striking subsurface layers or mixed contamination and complicates treatment control. Treating material ex-situ, in a self-contained system, gives more reliable and consistent results.
TecZero™ has treated Superfund sites, brownfields, legacy oil fields, and refinery sludge sites, scaling from small urban footprints to large-scale land remediation.
Yes. TecZero™ is designed to eliminate landfill dependency entirely, with a predictable process that results in zero reject waste.
Yes — as long as contamination is organic in nature, TecZero™ can process a wide range of material types without pretreatment or dewatering.
Yes. All Iron Creek Group technologies are engineered to meet or exceed the strictest applicable environmental protocols, including EPA and state/provincial regulatory standards.
