It is placed around the extraction tubes, in order to neutralize polluted vapors on the ground and form inert compounds. Recently, our Innovation Team, Aline Jordens, Ysaline Depasse, Hatem Saadaoui and Jan Haemers, has written a new abstract entitled “Thermoreact® - An innovative remediation product for In Situ neutralization of halogens and sulphur during Thermal Desorption”. If you...

SITE UPDATE : STRASBOURG, FRANCE

We have finished the treatment of the 2nd pile on our site in Strasbourg, France. Our client has validated the results of the treatment and the facility was shut down in early December. The next step will be the dismantling, scheduled in January. We applied Ex-Situ Thermal Desorption (ESTD) to remediate the soil contaminated with Hydrocarbons and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The desired treatment temperature was 250°C. 75 burners were heated to treat 2000m³ of soil. We are working on this project with Lingenheld...
