Thermal Desorption unit at Demolition Area 1

This is a Thermal Desorption unit at Demolition Area 1. Thermal Desorption is a process used to remove contaminants from the soil. Temperatures between 500 to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) are used to physically separate moisture and contaminants from the soil. The exhaust created by this process is collected by an air pollution control system and heated to temperatures of approximately 2000 (°F) to destroy the contaminants. The exhaust is then filtered to remove any remaining dust particles from the air stream.
