The indirect thermal desorption unit is used to treat organically contaminated hazardous and non hazardous wastes using a combination of patented techniques to recover organic fractions and in doing so rendering the remaining residue suitable for either re-use, recycling or disposal via appropriate highly engineered landfill installations.

Types of wastes the unit can treat include materials such as soils, sediments, centrifuge sludges, filter cakes, tank bottoms, geologic debris and other similar solids which are organically contaminated.

The broad range of organic contaminants amenable to treatment via this unit includes compounds ranging from PCBs and PAHs to organic solvents, as well as oils and petroleum products.
