The EPA states “…most thermal soil units have a very rapid treatment time and are cost-competitive for large-volume projects…easily combinable with other technologies, such as air sparging or groundwater extraction…treated soil can be re-deposited onsite or used for landfill cover…can consistently reduce TPH to below 10 ppm and BTEX below 100 ppb (and sometimes lower)…” – Thermal Desorption first appeared as an environmental treatment technology in 1985 when it was specified in the Record of Decision (ROD) for the McKin Superfund Site in Maine…let 20 years of success work for you!

TDU Tech Specs Sheet

At NER, our mission is to safely and efficiently deliver, Clean Dirt, No Doubt!  NER employs technology that delivers the certainty of achieving remediation criteria, as well as destruction of extracted organic contaminants insuring no harmful emission to atmosphere. 

NER’s Thermal Desorption Unit (TDU) technology delivers the Mobile Thermal Soil Remediation process, an Ex-Situ means of physically separating volatile and semi-volatile organic contaminants from soils. Contaminated soil is placed in the Primary Chamber (PC, Desorber or, Kiln), and heated to volatilize the associated hydrocarbons, effectively removing the toxins from soil as a gas stream. At this stage the clean soil exits the PC and is re-hydrated and cooled. This gas stream is then passed through a high-surface area baghouse/filtration unit, where dust and particulate is removed.  In the final stage these gases further travel to a Secondary Chamber (SC, Afterburner or, Oxidation Chamber) where the toxic molecules are rendered harmless. The treated material can then be returned to the original excavation site as, Clean Dirt, No Doubt!, thereby eliminating the need for costly backfill and, avoiding the often-dangerous transportation of soil to landfill.
