Cleaning up the environment shouldn't come at the cost of the environment

  The Group's Patent Pending Hybrid Energy Thermal Remediation (HETR) system provides a simple, cost effective, renewable energy based & sustainable option to tradition thermal remediation technologies. The HETR™ transforms and applies multiform energy to an individual, or multiple connected, points, well(s), or installations, by means of convective, conductive, and radiative heat transfer to an outer casing, which in turn thermally conducts heat to contaminated media in contact with the device, including soils, groundwater, and non-aqueous phase liquids. The HETR technology is well suited to thermal remediation applications targeting temperatures anywhere from 35 °C all the way up to 400 degrees °C.. 

The HETR technology can reliably target stable and homogenous temperatures of ~500°C (+) at the heater well-formation interface, fluxing ~400 to 550-Watts per linear foot of well as heat energy to the subsurface formation. This output rivals or exceeds the sustainable output of any other commercially available thermal conduction heating technology, allowing the technology to comfortably target subsurface temperatures between 100°C and 400°C at a wellfield spacing between 8-ft (for higher temp applications) to 17 feet on center.

Each HETR well produces 100-500 Watts of renewable energy 24/7 during operation, depending on configuration and project requirements, using thermoelectric energy harvesting, which can be further combined with auxiliary sources of renewable energy generation, such as PV solar panels, to offset energy consumption even further.

In various configurations, the HETR™ system can be designed to utilize variable energy reliance from different energy sources, be it fuel combustion, or electric based heating, and both energy systems can be configured and utilized in a grid-connected modality, partial grid connected modality, or entirely isolated from grid. Furthermore, this device allows differential heat application both longitudinally within the well and laterally across a wellfield, affording greater control of heat distribution than many traditional thermal technologies. The Groups unique design allows the HETR well to “boost” energy output at discrete intervals, a a high degree of optimization to match the dynamic conditions engendered by thermal remediation projects, while optimizing efficiency and reducing unnecessary energy where possible.

The Group is currently working on bringing a new thermal remediation and renewable energy technology to market. This system is designed to first function as a renewable energy based high-temperature thermal remediation system, capable of reaching temperatures of 300 degrees C or higher and remediating a wide range of impacts from VOCs to PCBs and Pesticides. The system then transitions into a Permanent Renewable Energy Generation Plant, which reuses the infrastructure and energy from the remediation process with little additional infrastructure or modification needed.

 Landfills, former Airfields, Military Bases, Ammunitions Testing Grounds, or other large open areas with existing contaminant plumes in the subsurface could be Thermally Remediated and redeveloped as a Renewable Energy Plant simultaneously, and at much lower cost than implementing either independently.
