Thermal Remediation of MGP Sites, From Strategy to Real-World Performance
Former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites present some of the most complex remediation challenges, driven by coal tar DNAPL, high contaminant mass, and difficult subsurface conditions that limit the effectiveness of conventional approaches.
This two-part webinar series explores how thermal remediation is applied to address these challenges, from initial evaluation and system design through real-world implementation and performance.
In the first session, attendees will learn how thermal remediation targets coal tar source zones, performs in low-permeability soils, and supports efficient cleanup aligned with regulatory and redevelopment goals. The webinar focuses on key design and implementation considerations, including contaminant profiles, treatment depths, and strategies for managing large contaminant mass, along with how thermal technologies can be integrated with complementary remedies to strengthen overall performance.
The second session builds on these concepts through case studies that demonstrate how thermal remediation systems perform under actual site conditions. Drawing on multiple projects, this webinar walks through the full implementation lifecycle, highlighting how teams have navigated complex subsurface conditions, adapted to field challenges, and achieved successful outcomes.
Together, these sessions provide a practical, field-driven perspective on applying thermal remediation at MGP sites and offer insights that support more informed, defensible remediation strategies.
In this two-part series, you will learn how to:
- Evaluate when thermal remediation is the right fit for MGP sites
- Apply key design and implementation strategies for coal tar source zones
- Manage high contaminant mass and complex subsurface conditions
- Connect site data to technology selection and system design
- Navigate field challenges and adapt during implementation
- Benchmark real-world performance to support defensible decisions
- Soil Sampling Fundamentals: Methods, Tools, and When to Use Them
Applying Thermal Remediation at MGP Sites, Design and Implementation Considerations
June 24, 2026 | 10 AM PST/ 1 PM EST
Presenter: Steffen Griepke
Former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites are some of the most challenging to remediate due to coal tar DNAPL, high contaminant mass, and complex subsurface conditions that limit the effectiveness of conventional remedies.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how In Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) is applied to address these challenges and improve project outcomes. This session focuses on how ISTR targets coal tar source zones, performs in low-permeability soils where other approaches are often limited, and supports efficient cleanup timelines aligned with regulatory and redevelopment goals.
MGP Site Remediation in Action, Case Studies and Lessons Learned
July 22, 2026 | 10 AM PST/ 1 PM EST
Presenters: Erin Hauber and John LaChance
The true test of any remediation technology is how it performs under real site conditions. In this case study-based webinar, you’ll explore how thermal remediation has been applied to address complex coal tar impacts at former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites.
Through multiple project examples, our experts will walk through the full lifecycle of ISTR applications, including site conditions, technology selection, system design, operational performance, and final outcomes. The discussion highlights how teams navigated challenging subsurface conditions, managed large contaminant mass, and adapted to unexpected field realities.

Heat It Up: How High Temp Thermal Tackles Recalcitrant Chemicals
What do coal tar, PAHs, PCBs, pesticides, dioxins, PFAS and mercury all have in common?
They’re all recalcitrant chemicals that are hard to treat using traditional remediation methods. Sites with these contaminants are nearly unaffected even by thermal treatments reaching the boiling point of water. Luckily, high temperature thermal conductive heating (TCH) can reach temperatures of more than 300°C, high enough to address these difficult chemicals.
In this webinar, TerraTherm’s Steffen Griepke will discuss where high temperature thermal is applicable, what chemicals can be targeted and what results can be achieved. Different implementation approaches tailored to the site specific circumstances will be presented, and both in situ and ex situ case study examples will be provided. Steffen will draw on TerraTherm’s 25 years of experience working with high temp thermal projects to answer participant questions during the Q&A.
If you have interest in cleaning up some the most difficult chemicals out there, this is a webinar you don’t want to miss.
Thermal Remediation of High Mass Hydrocarbon Sites: When NAPL Capture Governs the Mass Recovery
On sites with contaminant masses counted in the hundred-thousand to million pound range, it’s imperative you choose the right technology for your remedy.
Thermal Technologies are widely used to target high mass contaminated sites where non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) are known to be present. While the geology and hydrogeology of a site typically is a driving factor for technology selection, the mass distribution, chemical composition and thermal behavior for the site contaminants are often the key drivers in determining in which phase the mass is mobilized, and thus the extraction strategy. For VOCs, mobilization in the vapor phase typically fully governs the mass removal. However, for more complex mixtures of high boiling point hydrocarbons, that may not be the case.
In this webinar, Technology Director Steffen Griepke explains what to consider when selecting and designing your thermal remedy for optimized mass removal. He shares best practices and examples drawn from the two decades he worked in thermal remediation.
Real-Time Solutions to Unexpected Challenges Encountered During Thermal Remedy Implementation
An in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) design may look good on paper, but how will it perform in the field?
Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH), Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) and Steam Enhanced Extraction (SEE) are widely used thermal technologies capable of effectively remediating a variety of chemicals in various varying subsurface settings, yet sometimes operations do not perform as planned. Due to the aggressive nature of thermal remediation in parallel with pro-active monitoring, operational challenges must be addressed immediately, typically within days rather than weeks. Lessons learned from more than 100 full-scale TCH, ERH and SEE projects will be discussed, focusing on common operational challenges that arise during full-scale thermal projects.
