Upcoming Webinars
Real-World ISTR Applications: Lessons from Complex CVOC Sites
Theory is important, but results matter most. In this webinar, we take you inside real projects where ISTR delivered successful outcomes under challenging conditions.
What You’ll Learn:
Our experts will share detailed case studies that show how ISTR was applied to treat CVOC DNAPL and high-mass source zones. You will see how site-specific conditions shaped design decisions and how adaptive strategies ensured success.
We will cover:
- How conceptual site models (CSMs) informed system design
- Selection of heating technologies and how they were applied to site constraints
- Design of vapor extraction and treatment components
- Monitoring and performance evaluation throughout the project
You will also learn how teams adapted when projects didn’t go as planned. We’ll discuss:
- Unforeseen conditions and incomplete CSMs
- How new information was used to modify designs and operations
- Strategies that kept projects on track and met remedial goals
Join us on March 25, 2026, for practical insights from case studies that highlight the flexibility and effectiveness of ISTR in real-world scenarios.
Case Studies – Practical ISTR Solutions for Challenging CVOC Sites
When remediation projects face complex conditions, proven strategies make the difference. In this webinar, you will see how ISTR was applied to real-world sites with unique challenges and demanding cleanup goals. Our experts will share lessons learned and practical approaches that delivered results.
Key Highlights:
- How CSMs guided technology selection and system design
- Strategies for adapting designs when unforeseen conditions emerged
- Examples of installing wellfields beneath active buildings and infrastructure using angled and horizontal drilling
- Low temperature ISTR applications that simplified operations, reduced costs, and improved sustainability
You will also learn how some of these projects eliminated vapor extraction systems, lowered energy use, and still met stringent remedial goals.
Join us on April 29, 2026, for case studies that show how ISTR achieves success under real-world constraints.
Applying Heat for Complete and Permanent PFAS Remediation
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to challenge conventional remediation strategies, particularly when projects require permanent treatment, predictable performance, and confidence that contaminants are truly destroyed rather than transformed into other fluorinated compounds. As expectations for long-term stewardship and defensible cleanup strategies continue to evolve, project teams are increasingly being asked to demonstrate how proposed remedies address both current PFAS compounds and those that may become regulated in the future.
In this webinar, TerraTherm will evaluate how high temperature thermal remediation can be applied to PFAS impacted soil and sediment as a desorption and destructive treatment approach. Drawing on laboratory research and field experience, our technical experts will also present results from a recent field demonstration conducted as part of the Department of War Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) evaluation of PFAS destructive technologies (ER23-8372), highlighting treatment performance, contaminant removal mechanisms, and the role of system design in supporting reliable PFAS destruction.
What You’ll Learn:
- How high temperature thermal remediation systems are designed to treat PFAS and manage fluorinated byproducts using thermal desorption and thermal oxidation
- Key findings from laboratory studies that evaluated treatment temperatures, removal mechanisms, and PFAS breakdown during heating
- Results from a recent ESTCP field demonstration evaluating thermal treatment of PFAS impacted sediment using thermal desorption and thermal oxidation
- When high temperature thermal remediation may be an appropriate option during PFAS remedy evaluation and project planning
Join us on May 20, 2026, for a focused technical discussion that examines how high temperature thermal remediation is being used to completely and safely address one of today’s most persistent environmental contaminants while supporting long-term site management and redevelopment goals.

Site Cleanup with Low Temperature Thermal and Heat-Enhanced Remedies
Part 2: Real-World Applications and Lessons Learned
October 22, 2025 | 10:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM Eastern
In the second session, we’ll build on the foundational concepts with two in-depth case studies that demonstrate how low temperature thermal remediation has been successfully applied in the field.
You’ll see how:
- A site with a persistent CVOC DNAPL source beneath an active facility was treated using 35°C heating in combination with EVO/ZVI injections
- Another site achieved effective cleanup of a halogenated DNAPL (EDB) using 70–80°C heating to enhance hydrolysis, without the need for vapor covers or extraction systems
We’ll also revisit the mechanisms, COCs, and technologies discussed in Part 1 to reinforce key takeaways and provide practical insights for your projects.
Site Cleanup with Low Temperature Thermal and Heat-Enhanced Remedies
Part 1: Understanding the Science and Strategy Behind Low Temperature Thermal Remediation – September 24, 2025
Join us for the first session in this two-part webinar series, where remediation experts John LaChance and Erin Hauber will introduce the fundamentals of low temperature thermal and heat-enhanced remediation. Learn how gently heating the subsurface—typically between 35°C and 90°C can amplify chemical, biological, and physical processes to accelerate cleanup, improve remedy reliability, and reduce life-cycle costs.
We’ll explore:
- How low temperature thermal remediation supports natural attenuation and injection-based remedies
- The contaminants of concern (COCs) best suited for heat-enhanced treatment
- Key differences between low temperature and full thermal (100°C) applications
- When and why to consider low temperature thermal as part of your site strategy

Low Temperature Thermal – The Sustainable Thermal Remediation Approach
“Thermal” and “sustainable” in the same sentence?!
Yes! Although most often associated with a high demand for resources and infrastructure, thermal remediation can be accomplished sustainably.
In this flash webinar, John LaChance and Erin Hauber will explain how low-temperature thermal technology can address your challenges in an environmentally and economically friendly manner. They will describe how the technology works, and the remediation mechanisms targeted by low-temperature thermal. They’ll also cover which contaminants of concern (COCs) are most suited for this approach, costs, and timeframe.
