LTTD Thermal Desorption Process

The LTTD process is fully permitted to process non-hazardous hydrocarbon and coal tar contaminated soils at a rate of up to 60 tons per hour. The process is a co-current, direct fired dryer which process wastes to temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees F. Off gases are subsequently directed to a cyclone, 1,700 degree F. secondary thermal unit, quench tower, and bag house prior to being directed to a 120 foot stack.

The process has consistently demonstrated the ability to both achieve the removal of all volatile and semi-volatile hydrocarbon compounds regulated by the U.S. EPA to non-detectable concentrations. This level of removal results in the achievement of the most restrictive New Jersey Direct Contact Residential Cleanup Standards as well as the U.S. EPA's Universal Treatment Standards codified at 40 CFR 268.48. Upon the achievement of this level of treatment, treated soils are readily available for use as fill material at either customer's remediation sites or within the general construction industry.

The LTTD System has the ability to consistently remove both Volatile and Semi-Volatile Organic compounds from elevated values to non-detectable concentrations. Processing at a throughput rate of 60 tons per hour / 1,200 tons per day, the LTTD System has processed in excess of 1Ž2 million tons of coal tar and hydrocarbon contaminated soils.
