Thethermale ciencyoftheInfraredtechnologyisveryhigh. Whencomparedtoconven onalrotarykilns,theInfraredwillheatcontami- nated materials (12% water content) to 600oF and require only 4.85 therms/ton. Conven onal rotary kilns use between 16-30 therms/ton to reach the same soil temperature
EmissionsareverylowwhenusingtheInfraredtechnology. Whencomparedtoconven onalrotarykilns,eachInfraredUnitdischargeslessthan 1% of the exhaust volume of a 12 ton per hour kiln.
