Bene ts of Infrared
Infrared Thermal Technology is an ex-situ thermal remediation process that heats stationary contaminated soil/sludges in ba- tches. The innovative design of the Infrared allows for high temperature treatment of materials (soil, sludges, solids) without the use of moving parts.
Some of the key bene ts of the Infrared Technology include:
• No moving parts, does not require blowers or exhaust fans
• No sound, silent when running on grid power
• It is a simple design – works via vapor pressures
• Thermal e ciency above 90% (Thermal Desorption units are typically around 33%)
• Lower volume of o -gases
• Low Maintenance
• Soil screening is not necessary
• Ideal for sites with limited working space
• Is able to treat soils and sludges within 24 to 72 hours per batch
• Is able to recover reusable products

This design produces a very low amount of exhaust gas which is able to be cooled and condensed. This process allows for the recovery of materials previously entrapped in the contaminated materials (i.e. oil, diesel, etc.).
