Indirect Heat Volatilization (IHV) remedial technology, proprietary to TRI, is a quick and
cost-effective solution to the complex issues surrounding the cleanup of hazardous waste.
Using this IHV technology, TRI contractually guarantees to remediate the soil to below-
clean-up objectives ..!
IHV: What Is It?
IHV is a highly portable, cost-effective, self-contained, "closed loop" emission free
cleaning/ stripping/ flushing/ thermal extraction system. The IHV system under the influence
of pressurized steam, removes volatile organic contaminants from the soil masses with
virtually no impact to the surrounding environment.
Since steam is the heat source, there is no direct flame in contact with the contaminants,
so the possibility for combustion or incineration simply does not exist as it does with
conventional direct fired technologies. It is this approach that makes IHV so accepted by
the public -- and easy to permit.
This permitted and approved system has successfully treated over 45,000 tons of hazardous
solvent contaminated soil located in commercial & residential areas in the last 12 months
alone.

Using IHV technology at the site of this busy grocery store, TRI successfully
treat 9,500 tons of land banned hazardous PCE/TCE impacted soils to below-CUO’s,
backfilled and compacted on site. The grocery store was able to remain
open for business!

Auto Manufacturer / Gaiatech, Detroit, MI - 8,800 tons of TCE/DCE impacted soils treated to below objectives. Treated soils were used as clean fill.
USEPA / Superfund Site, Gary, IN - 4,500 tons of hazardous VOC & PNA impacted soils were treated to below LDR’s and disposed of in a Sub-Title “D” landfill.
Manufacturing Company / ERM, Elk Grove, IL - 1,500 tons of land banned hazardous chlorinated solvents were treated to below CUO’s and backfilled. Also installed a DPE system.
Electronics Company / Franklin Park, IL – 800 tons of soil contaminated with DCA, DCE, TCA, TCE, and vinyl chloride were treated to below CUO’s using TRI’s Indirect Heat Volatilization Steam Injection System (IHV).
Methode Electronics / Harwood Heights, IL - This project was part of the IEPA Voluntary Clean Up Program. Soil contaminated with RCRA hazardous waste was excavated and treated with TRI’s IHV system. With hot spots of 68,000 ppm reduced to below 3 ppm.
Centrum Development / Chicago, IL - TRI did the permitting, site preparation, excavation, water control, and thermal treatment using Indirect Heat Volatilization (IHV) of soils contaminated with RCRA hazardous chlorinated solvents. With hot spots of 30,000 ppm, all soils were treated to below land ban levels and were then transported off site as a special waste.
