Thermal desorption represents a “separation and ecological remediation process” that uses heat as an agent to remove contaminants from soils/sludges contaminated with hydrocarbons and/or other pollutants with volatile components.
This type of installation has a major advantage because it has a large soil treatment capacity. Hydrocarbons and/or other volatile components sustain combustion, improving the efficiency of the installation.
The thermal desorption installation is fully equipped with all measurement and control devices, thus enabling real-time monitoring and adjustment of treatment parameters.
These contaminated soils are treated at temperatures of 650 °C, and the soil maintains its physical properties.
The state-of-the-art monitoring system within this installation will control specific parameters for polluted soils, oil sludges, gases resulting from thermal treatment, and separated waters.
