Applying Thermal Remediation at MGP Sites, Design and Implementation Considerations

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.  

The session will also cover the key design and implementation factors that influence success at MGP sites, including contaminant profiles, treatment depths, and strategies for managing large contaminant mass. The webinar highlights how these considerations are integrated with complementary technologies to strengthen overall remedy performance. 

By attending, you will learn how to: 

• Apply ISTR to address coal tar source zones at MGP sites effectively 
• Evaluate site conditions to determine when thermal remediation is the right fit 
• Manage high contaminant mass and challenging subsurface conditions 
• Account for key design and implementation considerations unique to MGP sites 
• Integrate ISTR with other remedies to support long-term cleanup goals 

The webinar highlights how these considerations are incorporated into system design and integrated with complementary technologies to strengthen overall remedy performance under real site conditions.
