| Project : | Thermal desorption of 8,000 tons of tar contaminated soil by means of mobile |
The clean-up site was formerly used by the 'Fábrica Química de Mieres' as tar distillation plant, and will be used after decontamination by Thyssen as new industrial site. The clean-up was funded by the SEPES (Spanish Governmental agency in charge of industrial redevelopment of contaminated sites). The soil was already excavated and sieved by a previous unsuccessful contractor. Deep Green has contracted the thermal desorption part of the contract for the PAH contaminated soil.
Soil to treat and clean-up objectives :
The soil to treat was highly energetic (>2000 KJ/kg), due to the high tar content. PAH content was moderate (16 EPA) at an average of 2,000 ppm. The loss on ignition of the soil was 20 to 30%! Clean-up levels were set at 200 ppm total PAH and 50 ppm mineral oil. All clean-up standards for clean soil were met.
TPS Technologies Involvement :
TPS Technologies was involved in the project for the thermal desorption treatment operation, as well as the set-up of all environmental, health and safety procedures for the operation of the thermal unit.
Equipment :
The project started with a DRAGON 15 unit. Stack tests were successfully performed on the unit. The unit was equipped with continuous emissions monitoring.
