Haemers Technologies SA is a global leader in remediation technology development and implementation. Haemers Technologies first started soil treatment via thermal desorption in 1989, in Adelanto, California. Haemers Technologies's experience in In-Situ remediation began in 1991 at the former Fairchild Semiconductor Site in Torrance, California. Since that time, Haemers Technologies has successfully completed over 50 In-Situ and 200 on-site remediation projects across four continents, and has treated over 8,000,000 tons of soil both at fixed treatment facilities and using on-site and/or in situ thermal remediation technologies. Haemers Technologies also pioneered the use of condensation-based vapor treatment systems, applied both as a stand-alone vapor collection technology or in combination with in situ or on site thermal desorption. Nowadays, Haemers Technologies's managers have been working in the field of (thermal) remediation for over 25 years. Many years ago, they started their first research projects, driven by the mission to develop a thermal technology that should counter the main drawbacks of conventional thermal treatment, being its costs (esp investments needed to build an installation, fuel costs for energy, maintenance) and the fact that soil always needed to be excavated (and eventually transported to a facility).
