Thermal Desorption of PFAS in a Soil Stockpile
In October 2024, TRS Group (TRS) completed its third and largest thermal desorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil remediation project at Joint

Year-End-Review: AFFF Cleanout and PFAS Treatment with PerfluorAd
Developed by Martin Cornelsen in 2007, Martin and his colleagues have applied the PerfluorAd per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) removal technology in Germany and other European

Removing PFAS from Fire Training Areas
Fire training areas (FTA), where firefighters practiced extinguishing fuel-based fires by applying aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), which contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), represent
Case Studies
Since the initial development of thermal remediation technologies, there have been more than 300 projects completed worldwide with TRS completing 180 of them. Many of these projects were industry firsts. TRS has also introduced the PerfluorAdTM technology to the U.S. market for AFFF cleanout services. This technology can reduce PFAS concentrations in AFFF fire suppression systems by more than 99%. The below case studies showcase all of TRS’s capabilities.
