Title: Thermal treatment of fuel-contaminated soil

Abstract

A patent has been issued for the apparatus and method for Low Temperature Thermal Stripping (LT/sup 3/) of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from soil. LT/sup 3/ is a hazardous waste thermal treatment system and is used to clean up fuel-contaminated soil from leaking underground storage tanks. Representing a significant breakthrough in the treatment of polluted soil, LT/sup 3/ is a unique mix of proven techniques combined in an innovative way to provide an efficient cost-effective treatment method.
