Trailer Mounted Thermal Oxidizer Unit for Environmental Site Remediation

The Challenge

Environmental remediation deals with the removal of pollution or contaminants from environmental media such as soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water for the general protection of human health and the environment or from a site intended for redevelopment. The project required the extraction of VOC’s from contaminated soil related to Oil Drilling Rigs and/or Chemical Storage Sites. The purpose of this Soil Remediation system was to destroy the contaminants in the exhaust coming out of a process based on the principle of combustion. Remediation is generally subject to an array of regulatory requirements, and also can be based on assessments of human health and ecological risks where no legislated standards exist or where standards are advisory.

The Solution

Soil Remediation unit designed was a simple self-contained systems capable of having very high destruction efficiency using combustion: a chemical process arising from the rapid combination of oxygen with various elements or chemical compounds resulting in release of heat. This mobile unit was 100% self sufficient and could be transported to remote sites while achieving a DRE in excess of 99%. This Oxidizer systems are designed with a large turn down ratio for varying flow rates and a modulating burner system for fluctuating process stream concentrations.

The Results

Trailer mounted soil remediation equipment offered the ultimate in safety, control and ease of operation. Advantages include high DRE, Low Capital Cost, Low Installation Costs, zero Maintenance Costs, Effective For fluctuations and High VOC Concentrations.
