Summary
Environmental Clean Technologies Limited has successfully completed the construction of its pilot Rapid Electrothermal Mineralisation (REM) system, marking a significant advancement from the laboratory prototype. This system, now delivering substantially greater power output, addresses key barriers to large-scale in-situ deployment, specifically for PFAS remediation, without requiring conductive additives. The redesigned system is more compact and lighter, facilitating easier deployment across contaminated sites. The company is targeting the first in-field demonstration for the second half of 2026, with plans for commercialization through licensing and integration with existing equipment.
Key Points
  • ECT completed the pilot REM system, which delivers 18 times the power output of the lab-scale prototype.
  • The pilot system operates at 170 kHz and 2,200 V, up from 70 kHz and 500 V, enabling faster, more energy-efficient remediation.
  • The system functions without conductive additives like biochar, making it unique for PFAS remediation.
  • The pilot system is 50% smaller and 75% lighter than the lab configuration, enhancing deployability.
  • Laboratory testing of the pilot is ongoing and showing optimal performance.
  • ECT plans to conduct the first in-field pilot demonstration across soil and GAC in H2 2026.
  • Commercialization will primarily be through licensing and integration with existing equipment.
  • The system was developed in conjunction with Rice University's Flash Joule Heating process.
