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.
