Rombas – France

Thermal desorption of 700 tons of contaminated soil coming from the Rombas gaswork site by means of a mobile unit located in Homécourt (France). The site was a previous cokes work, which will be reaffected into a small business area. The cokes works were owned and operated by USINOR (Group ARCELOR), and the company decided to clean-up the site before reusing it through the local community. The contaminated soils held average PAH concentrations in excess of 14,000 ppm with average...

Homecourt – France

Thermal desorption of 21,000 tons of contaminated soil coming from the Homecourt gaswork site by means of a mobile unit. The site was a previous cokeswork, which will be reaffected into small business area. The cokesworks were owned and operated by USINOR (Group ARCELOR), and the company decided to clean-up the site before reusing it through the local community. The contaminated soils held PAH concentrations in excess of 9,000 ppm with average concentrations at 3,200 ppm. The project was done with...

Baina – Spain

Thermal desorption of 8,000 tons of tar contaminated soil by means of mobile thermal desorption. The clean-up site was formerly used by the ‘Fábrica Química de Mieres’ as a 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...

Clackamas – USA

Thermal desorption of 7.500 Tons of PCB contaminated soil. The history of the clean-up site was an underground pipe manufacturer. During initial site evaluation, the primary contaminants were identified as PCB’s, TCE, PCE, and PAH’s. A pilot test burn was conducted at Haemers Technologies’ facility to determine the achievable cleanup levels for the public Record of Decision (ROD) using thermal desorption technology. Excavation and pre-screening took place on location, and the contaminated soil to be thermally treated was transported to...

Portland – USA

Thermal desorption of 21.000 Tons of MGP TAR contaminated soil. The clean-up site is known as “The Pearl District” of Portland and is located downtown. It was a former manufacture gas plant (MGP) site operating from the 1930’s to mid 1950’s. The clean-up site was part of a major redevelopment project for the downtown area. Excavation took place on location, and contaminated soil to be thermally treated was transported to Haemers Technologies’ facility approximately 8 miles away. Haemers Technologies was involved...

MC Cord – USA

Contaminated soils were processed by a counter flow, direct fired LTDU (Low Temperature Desorption Unit) with nominal capacity of 35 tons (US) per hour. The equipment train included a pre-screener, belt scale conveyor, rotary dryer, fabric filter bag house, thermal oxidizer, soil moisturizer, and radial stacker. Natural Gas and recycled oil were used as process fuel. The soil to be treated contained TPH concentrations up to 15,000 ppm. All soils were cleaned down to a less than 50 ppm TPH. Air emissions...

Nynas – Belgium

On site thermal desorption of a mineral oil contaminated site in Antwerp (Belgium). The site to clean was the storage tank park of raw oil at Nynas refinery. All tanks had to been lifted above 2 m and the excavated material was stored outside. Deep Green was contracted for the thermal desorption for the TPH, PAH and BTEX contaminated soil. The project started with a DRAGON 15 unit running on natural gas. 4 Stack tests were successfully performed on the unit. The...

Lillestrom – Norway

The site of the Oslo Varemesse (Exhibition hall) was a former creosote plant, and needed extensive treatment before the construction could start. The clean-up project was contracted to JV Selmer/Skanska - Deconterra, a Norwegian consortium. The consortium did all the excavation works, as well as the soil washing treatment on site. Haemers Technologies was contracted for the thermal desorption part of the contract for PAH contaminated soil. The project started with a DRAGON 15 unit until May 2001. Early May, a...

Ostrava – Czech Republic

Thermal desorption of 450,000 tons of tar contaminated soil by means of thermal desorption. The clean-up site is known as ‘Karolina’ and is located downtown Ostrava. It was a former gaswork site, part of a major steel factory. The clean-up project was funded by the Czech National Property Fund. Excavation and pre-treatment took place on the ‘Karolina’ location, and contaminated soil to be treated thermally was transported to a specific location, approx. 2km from Karolina, where the thermal unit was...

Buffalo Airport – USA

Low Temperature Thermal Desorption of VOC’s, Cresol,and Vinyl Chloride; The site was developed in the early 1940s by the US Government for the manufacture of mili- tary aircraft. In 1946, Westinghouse Corporation purchased the site for the manufac- ture of electric motors and related electrical components. Over the years portions of the site were sold to other parties including the Buffalo Airport Center Associates. Up until 1991, Westinghouse continued to manufacture electric motors and components with various manufacturing and warehousing ope-...
