Our Technologies
The TECH ZERO
The TECH ZERO is Iron Creek’s lastest emerging technology, The TECH-ZERO operates in a zero oxygen environment. This allows for the
vola liza on, condensing, and recovery of petroleum products and other materials priviously entrapped in the contaminated solids.
The TECH-ZERO is a concept unlike any other in the industry. It combines all of the top characteris cs of our previous designs into one simple, eld capable system. It processes material in batches, avoiding the need for augers, feed belts, and rota ng drums. It vaporizes contaminants at temperatures lower than their boiling points in order to maximize e ciencies. For an example of how this works, we refer to wet pavement. At 90 degrees F, the pavement will dry quickly. It is not necessary to heat the pavement to 212F (the boiling point of water) in order to get the water to vola lize. The same is true for most contaminants. They vaporize at much lower temperatures - with me.
There is a lack of compe on when it comes to high-throughput, mobile, thermal technologies. And that is why the design of the TECH ZERO is perfect for oil eld waste both on-site and at xed treatment facili es. The design is simple to manufacture and mass-produce for rapid deploy- ment.

Our eld experience has taught us to keep designs simple, robust, easy to use, and portable. When the TECH-ZERO arrives on-site, it is opera onal the same day.
