Gregory L. Beyke, P.E Vice President Engineering Thermal Remediation Services, Inc.

Mr. Beyke is the foremost engineering expert on the use of Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) for environmental remediation. He is a nationally recognized expert on the use of in situ thermal heating technologies for the treatment of contaminated soil and groundwater. Mr. Beyke is also an expert in the design and deployment of the in situ air movement technologies that are used to support ERH. With more than 20 years of experience, Mr. Beyke has provided design and engineering supervision on over 200 in situ soil and groundwater remediation projects.

Presentation Description
1, 4-dioxane treatment using Electrical Resistance Heating
The solvent stabilizer 1,4-dioxane has emerged in the environmental engineering arena as an unexpected and recalcitrant groundwater contaminant at many sites across the US. There is increasing evidence, both research and field application, that suggests 1,4-dioxane in groundwater may respond to in situ bio treatment and in situ thermal treatment. This presentation will present evidence of the reduction of 1,4-dioxane in groundwater during a full scale remediation of chlorinated volatile organics in soil and groundwater using Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH)
