ustainable Development
Thermal desorption is a technology of contaminated soil treatment which fits fully with the principles of the Sustainable Development.
Indeed, thermal desorption is THE recycling technology. Thermal desorption is the answer for communities and the industrials, who want to avoid the transfer of the environmental liability to the future generations.
- To support recycling instead of any form of storage
Thermal desorption makes it possible to reach soil residual concentrations in organic pollutants (hydrocarbons, PAH, cyanides,.) close to natural concentrations, under the VDSS standards (French standards). The decontaminated soils, free from organic components, have not to be stored any more and can be revalorised.
- To support techniques of in-depth treatment
Soils treated by thermal desorption do not contain residual pollution and can be re-used without any restriction from an environmental point of view. The material recycling contributes to the safeguarding of the natural resources.
- To support techniques with a low energy consumption
Deep Green contributes to the improvement of the thermal
desorption energy balance.
Deep Green focuses its R&D efforts on the limitation of non-renewable fossil
energy consumption and on the CO2 emission reduction. Deep Green uses recycled
oils as a fuel. Deep Green has also developed the thermal
desorption in the Thermopile
mode, a technology with a low fuel consumption and generating few atmospheric
emissions. These initiatives meet fully the principle of Sustainable Development.
