Remediation Strategies
How we structure thermal remediation projects
The goal is not just to apply heat. It is to match the right treatment intensity, schedule, and controls to the site conditions and remediation objectives.
Assess the subsurface system
We review geology, groundwater behavior, contaminant distribution, and access constraints before recommending a remedy.
Select the right thermal strategy
We compare treatment options and define a practical remedy based on mass removal targets, schedule, and cost drivers.
Support implementation and optimization
We help guide deployment, monitoring, and operational adjustments to keep performance on track.

Former Industrial Laundry | Saxony, Germany | 2025
Project AH0489: thermal remediation with MPE/SVE for chlorinated solvents
Problem: chlorinated solvent contamination in an area requiring intensive treatment and close control over implementation and operation stages.
Solution: remediation design, equipment supply, assembly, implementation of the thermal system, and testing and start-up of a thermal remediation system associated with MPE/SVE.
Result: removal of more than 3 times the mass estimated during investigation after 6 months of operation, reinforcing the effectiveness of the implemented strategy.
Airline Company | Campinas, Brazil | 2023 to present
Project AH0487: wastewater treatment plant maintenance with higher operational availability
Problem: preventive and corrective service needs in the client’s wastewater treatment plant, which had operational availability below 50% before service mobilization.
Solution: provision of specialized labor, maintenance reporting, equipment diagnostics, vendor sourcing, and support for specifying replacement assets reaching end of service life.
Result: wastewater treatment plant availability above 80% after service start, with a consistent improvement in system operational reliability.
Auto Parts Industry | Sao Paulo, Brazil | 2018 to present

About Areha
Building environmental remediation expertise since 2015
Founded in 2015, Areha Environmental was established to support clients facing complex environmental liabilities through technically sound solutions and qualified guidance for environmental remediation decision-making.
The name Areha comes from "o'reho", a term from the language of the Xavante, one of Brazil's Indigenous peoples, associated with the meaning of deep water or groundwater. That reference expresses, in both a symbolic and technical sense, the essence of the company and its connection to one of the most strategic and sensitive resources below the surface.
Based on that meaning, Areha Environmental's work is guided by the protection of the subsurface and the preservation of its most valuable resource, groundwater, through solutions focused on investigation, remediation, and responsible environmental recovery.
Over the course of its trajectory, the company strengthened its role in environmental remediation consulting, supporting the understanding of site conditions, the careful evaluation of treatment alternatives, and the development of projects from investigation through implementation, with particular attention to scenarios where thermal remediation offers a more efficient and strategic response.
FAQ
Common questions about thermal remediation consulting
What is thermal remediation?
Thermal remediation uses heat to increase contaminant removal or destruction, often accelerating cleanup in soil and groundwater compared with passive or slower approaches.
When is thermal remediation the right choice?
It is often considered when contaminants are persistent, subsurface conditions are difficult, cleanup time matters, or conventional remedies are unlikely to meet objectives efficiently.
