Overview of Thermal Desorption Technology
Abstract
This report is a summary and extension of the presentation on thermal desorption that formed a part of the "Remediation Innovative Technology Seminar" presented by NFESC earlier this year. The presentation was intended primarily to benefit U.S. Naval field staff who are Remediation Project Managers (RPMs). This report includes an overview of several thermal desorption system designs currently in use at various sites throughout the United States. It is intended to help RPMs determine whether thermal desorption is appropriate for remediation at a particular site. This report does so by: (1) identifying contaminants for which thermal desorption is known or believed to be effective, and (2) presenting generalized cost data for a range of project sizes. These are perhaps the two most significant considerations for an RPM in the decision-making process. Other pertinent factors and issues are discussed.
