About TRS
More sites cleaned. TRS is proud to announce its 5th year of continued leadership in the ERH remediation industry. Members of our professional team have led the ERH marketplace since 1997, and have performed over 75% of the ERH projects completed worldwide. Because of our experience, we are commonly selected for the largest and most complex ERH projects. Contractor of Choice. Our clients include the U.S. Departments of Defense and Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, Fortune 500 companies, law firms, and consulting engineering firms. 100% Safety Record. We are proud of our safety record. TRS has ZERO OSHA recordable accidents in over 100,000 hours worked. Our EMR rating is less than 1. Technology Backed By Contracting. We are the ERH leaders in guaranteed fixed price remediation (GFPR) contracting and stand behind the completion of each of our projects. We frequently guarantee not only the price but also the performance of our ERH Process. R&D Leader. TRS is licensed by Battelle to apply the electrical resistance heating patents developed by the US Department of Energy and we have patents pending for heat-enhanced biodegradation and chemical oxidation.

What is the TRS ERH Process?
TRS ERH Process. Thermal Remediation Services, Inc. (TRS) has developed a unique and highly effective methodology for in situ thermal remediation using Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) that we call the "TRS ERH Process". Quick and Even Heating. The TRS ERH Process quickly and evenly heats the subsurface to the boiling point of water by passing electrical current through contaminated soil and groundwater. This gentle heating evaporates volatile contaminants in situ and steam strips them from the subsurface. Vapors and steam are then extracted, cooled, and treated using standard methods. Seamlessly Integrates Other Technologies. The TRS ERH Process properly manages electricity, steam, NAPL, groundwater and vapors for a safe, efficient and effective cleanup. Our process is unique in its ability to transfer heated vapors and liquids to the surface. We have also solved the challenges of using hydraulic control and the use of vapor treatment systems in conjunction with ERH.
The Benefits of ERH
Tough Sites Closed. The TRS ERH Process has closed sites where other technologies have been attempted with very limited or no success. Rapid Remediation. Most sites are cleaned within 6 to 12 months – smaller sites in 2 or 3 months. Mass Removal or MCLs. ERH can effectively reduce contaminant mass in soil and groundwater by over 99%. MCLs are achievable. Few Subsurface Limitations. ERH works almost anywhere. Utilities, NAPL, contaminant depth, and subsurface lithology do not limit its use. Clean Under Buildings and Operating Sites. ERH can be applied under operating facilities and public areas with no restrictions to access. Total Plume Solution. Heat enhanced biotic and abiotic reactions provide continued remedial benefits after ERH. Combined technologies can polish residual contamination or economically treat beyond the source area. Economical. No other technology can offer equal levels of chlorinated NAPL cleanup in the same time frame for the same price as ERH. Guaranteed Performance. Because the TRS ERH Process is so robust, TRS is willing to guarantee price and performance.
Why Use TRS?
Experience. Members of our professional staff have performed over 75% of all ERH projects. They have designed, installed and operated ERH systems at sites across North America, in almost every lithology. Only TRS makes the lessons learned from the largest, the deepest, and the most complex ERH projects available for your site. Expertise. Our staff consists of nationally recognized experts in each of the crucial aspects of the TRS ERH Process. Our expertise spans electrode design, steam and NAPL recovery, and hydraulic control to data collection and site closure strategies. Innovation. Members of our staff have been at the forefront of each improvement in the ERH technology. We are currently leading efforts to combine ERH with bioremediation and chemical oxidization to lower pricing and provide a total contaminant plume solution. Capacity. TRS has a network of offices throughout The United States. This gives us greater access to projects and local knowledge. We also own the largest fleet of ERH specialty equipment in the world. Partnering. While TRS has primed several large ERH projects, we typically team with consultants to solve their client’s remediation challenges. This arrangement allows the consulting group to participate in the ERH remediation and bring their specific expertise and local knowledge to the project.
