Abstract: A thermal desorption system for remediating contaminated material in a zero oxygen environment by heating a gas and flowing the heated gas through a core heating conduit traversing the interior of a material compartment of a bin filled with contaminated material, redirecting the flow of heated gas from the core heating conduit to a space between the exterior of the bin and the interior of a bin housing insulator encapsulating the bin to provide dual indirect heating to the contaminated material within the bin, directing off gases of contaminated vapors released by desorption from the material to an exhaust header through a plurality of vapor outlets, and condensing the offgas in the exhaust header.

Abstract: A system and method for remediation of contaminated soil is provided. The system comprises a soil remediation cell of contaminated soil, and a plurality of multi-functional perforated pipes located within the contaminated soil. The multi-functional perforated pipes operate as (a) heating elements for introducing heat into the contaminated soil for volatilizing the contaminants located within the contaminated soil without utilizing mechanically driven forced air thereby producing a contaminated vapor, and (b) flow channels for removing the contaminated vapor from within the soil remediation cell. A high temperature covering, located about the soil remediation cell, forms a chamber over the soil remediation cell which receives and collects in the chamber the contaminated vapor which have been released from the multi-functional perforated pipes.

Abstract: A system and method for remediation of contaminated soil removed from a soil site is provided. The contaminated soil is placed upon several layers of perforated heating pipes forming a remediation cell, and the entire cell is covered by a galvanized Quonset Hut-shaped steel building to prevent the escape of vapors from the soil cell. Heating air introduced into perforated heating pipes heat conductively heats the contaminated soil creating a differential pressure area around the heated pipes. This results in the migration of volatilized contaminants and moisture through the perforations in the pipe walls and into the lower pressure area within the heated steel pipes, forcing the contaminants from the soil and into an off-gas treatment system.
