Thermal Remediation for Total PFAS Destruction in Contaminated Source Zones
PFAS source zones present a significant challenge for conventional remediation technologies, which often rely on containment or phase transfer rather than permanent destruction. To address this limitation, TerraTherm has developed and field-demonstrated a high-temperature thermal treatment approach designed to achieve destructive treatment of PFAS and associated fluorinated compounds in both the treated media and extracted vapor stream.
This webinar will summarize the results of an ESTCP-funded pilot-scale demonstration of our high temperature treatment technology for the remediation of PFAS-impacted soil and sediment. Presenters will explain the technology, what happens to PFAS in soil and sediment when heated to high temperatures, and how vapor treatment systems are designed to capture and treat all PFAS, including degradation products, and fluorine.
In addition, operational insights from the demonstration and key design considerations for full scale treatment will be presented, including in situ and ex situ applications, integration of vapor treatment systems, emissions management, and strategies for achieving and verifying emissions.
Key Learning Points
- Understand how high-temperature thermal treatment can achieve >99.9% destruction of PFAS in soil and sediment
- Learn how to use laboratory and field pilot test data to evaluate PFAS destruction, mineralization, and fluorine mass balance.
- Discover how integrated vapor treatment, catalyst media, and emissions monitoring help support safe, defensible implementation.
Why Attend
Attend this webinar to understand where thermal remediation fits within PFAS source-zone cleanup and what field pilot data indicate about its potential for permanent destruction. You will leave with a clearer view of the technology, design considerations, and key performance questions to ask before selecting a destructive remedy.

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.
John and Erin will answer questions during a Q&A at the end of the presentation, so be sure to submit yours during registration.
