What is the benefit of combining technologies such as ERH with enhanced bioremediation and abiotic degradation?
Fundamentally, the TRS ERH process is simple and highly flexible. TRS can deliver varying amounts of energy into discrete subsurface unsaturated and saturated intervals, resulting in increased temperatures for rapid and aggressive contaminant source zone remediation and for gentle heating for enhanced biotic and abiotic in situ degradation. No other in situ thermal technology is nearly as adaptable. The benefit of combining ERH with enhanced bioremediation is a total plume remedial solution at lower cost. Heat enhanced biotic and abiotic remediation of the downgradient dissolved phase contaminant plume can be accomplished at reduced cost compared to source area treatment and offers the benefit of reaching lower cleanup goals over time following source area treatment. Once the ERH remediation system is in place for source area remediation, heat enhanced biotic and abiotic remediation in the downgradient dissolved phase plume can be accomplished for an additional $10 to $20 per cubic yar
