The SoilTech ATP System removes organic contaminants from feed material through anaerobic thermal desorption in an indirectly fired rotary kiln. It can be used in conjunction with a dehalogenation process to chemically destroy halogenated hydrocarbons such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, and furans. Separation is achieved in a transportable rotary processor with four internal zones characterized by four different physical processes. These four zones are: * the preheat zone, * the retort zone, * the heat recovery zone, and * the cooling zone. The SoilTech ATP System is continuous and provides preheating of incoming feed material in the preheat zone and desorption of contaminants in the anaerobic retort zone at temperatures between 900 and 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Oxidation of decontaminated coked products takes place in the heat recovery zone and process heat is efficiently reused through indirect heat transfer from hot treated solids in the cooling zone to the incoming feed material in the preheat zone. The oxygen free or anaerobic environment of the retort zone is maintained by proprietary seals which allow the conveyance of solid material but inhibit the passage of gases between zones. Ancillary systems condense the vapors desorbed from the retort zone. The resulting liquid products are water and oil and can be chemically decontaminated on site, recycled, or sent off site for treatment. In either case, the resulting liquid has a much smaller volume than the original waste material. Additional systems of the plant treat the combustion gases to remove particulates and acid gases before discharge to the atmosphere. Page No. 2 of 44 VISITT 4.0 01/26/96 (s3B Vendor Name: SOILTECH ATP SYSTEMS, INC. Technology Type: THERMAL DESORPTION (s0B TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS The SoilTech ATP System is capable of treating a wide range of contaminated material. SoilTech has commercially treated PCB, PAH, SVOC, VOC, pesticide, and phenol contaminated soils and successfully demonstrated treatment of a long list of other contaminants. These include: refinery wastes, coal tar wastes, wood treating wastes, dioxin/furan-impacted soils, and many more. The process can return a recycled oil product suitable for reuse in some instances and provides tremendous waste volume reductions in applications when the contaminant is not suitable for reuse. The SoilTech ATP System provides extremely rigorous decontamination, in most applications producing treated material with no detectable concentrations of contaminant. Nonthermal treatment technologies such as solvent extraction and bioremediation cannot match the SoilTech ATP System's performance regarding comparable treatment rates for high contaminant concentrations. Efficient internal reuse of process heat provides energy savings and produces much lower volumes of combustion gases than thermal processes such as incineration. The anaerobic nature of the desorption process also ensures that oxidative degradation of contaminants, particularly PCBs, into potentially more toxic reaction products, such as dioxins and furans, is prevented.

Technology Type: THERMAL DESORPTION (s0B TECHNOLOGY LIMITATIONS The SoilTech ATP System is suitable for treatment of organic or oily waste in concentrations up to 25 percent by weight. Higher contaminant concentrations may require blending of feed material prior to treatment. High moisture content (greater than 20 percent) and/or high silt/clay content (greater than 20 to 30 percent) may reduce the process throughput and increase treatment costs. Page No. 4 of 44 VISITT 4.0 01/26/96 (s3B Vendor Name: SOILTECH ATP SYSTEMS, INC. Technology Type: THERMAL DESORPTION (s0B OTHER COMMENTS ON TECHNOLOGY The SoilTech ATP System was originally developed by UMATAC Industrial Processes as a process to extract oil from tar sands and oil shales. In 1988 Canonie Environmental Services Corp. and UMATAC formed SoilTech ATP Systems, Inc. and developed the technology to handle organic contaminants such as PCBs. In 1990 and 1991 The SoilTech ATP System was successfully applied to treat 42,000 tons of PCB-contaminated soil at the Wide Beach Superfund Site in Brant, New York. Desorption and dechlorination capabilities were combined in a 10-ton per hour processor resulting in complete on site destruction of contaminants. SoilTech met the rigorous TSCA demonstration criteria and New York State ARARs. In June 1992 SoilTech completed work at the Waukegan Harbor Superfund Site in Waukegan, Illinois. 12,700 tons of PCB contaminated soils and sediments were treated and backfilled on site. Feed PCB concentrations were as high as 2.3 percent and were reduced to less than 2 ppm in the treated material. Approximately 30,000 gallons of PCB oil desorbed from the feed material were returned to the potentially responsible party (PRP) trust for subsequent off-site disposal. SoilTech demonstrated compliance with the "six 9s" destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) required by the EPA in eleven consecutive stack sampling events. SoilTech sucessfully treated 12,800 tons of VOC, PAH, pesticide, and sulfur contaminated soil at the Pristine Superfund Site in Reading, Ohio between October 1993 and March 1994. The 10-ton per hour SoilTech ATP System successfully completed remediation of 35,000 tons of PCB contaminated soils at the Smith's Farm Superfund Site in Shepherdsville, Kentucky in October 1994. SoilTech entered a licensing agreement with EPA to use its patented BCD process in conjunction with thermal desorption for the complete on site destruction of desorbed PCBs at the Smith's Farm site. An additional 20,000 tons of various petrochemical industry wastes have been treated in a 5-ton per hour pilot plant located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Technology Type: THERMAL DESORPTION (s0B TREATABILITY STUDY CAPABILITIES (BENCH-SCALE) Description of bench-scale testing procedures: ---------- Bench-scale testing requires, at a minimum, about 10 pounds of site representative sample. The sample is homogenized and divided into subsamples of 2 to 4 pounds. The material is then analyzed to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the sample. A sample is then introduced to the bench-scale SoilTech ATP System and heated anaerobically to simulate the preheat and reaction zones of the full-scale system. This is usually referred to as a retort test. Vapor evolution is measured and desorbed moisture and hydrocarbons are condensed in a water cooled column. Products of the testing which may include coked decontaminated solids, water, oil, and noncondensable gases are analyzed according to the needs of SoilTech's client for physical and chemical characterization. To simulate the final product from the SoilTech ATP System a combustion test is then conducted. This involves further treatment of the coked solids from the retort test in the same vessel to simulate conditions in the heat recovery zone of the ATP System. Temperatures are higher (around 1250 degrees Fahrenheit) and air is passed through the system to promote oxidation of any coke formed in the retort test. The sample is then analyzed to determine physical and chemical characteristics.

Technology Type: THERMAL DESORPTION (s0B PILOT SCALE INFORMATION Pilot unit processes : SoilTech's pilot-scale capabilities have been developed over many years of experience with a 5-ton per hour fixed-base processor located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This unit is operated by UMATAC Industrial Processes who are 50 percent owners of SoilTech. This fixed-base unit has processed over 20,000 tons of a wide variety of feedstocks since the mid-1970s. In 1992, construction of a mobile 5-ton per hour ATP System was completed. This unit is available for full-scale operation on small projects (less than 5,000 tons) and for pilot-scale studies on larger projects. Operation is identical to that of the 10-ton per hour system. Each component is common to both the 5-ton per hour and 10-ton per hour systems but is down sized for the smaller unit. The detailed description of the SoilTech ATP System given under the full-scale section therefore applies to both systems. The main components of the mobile 5-tph pilot system are permanently mounted on three tractor trailers. Equipment can be fully operational two weeks after arrival on site.

Technology Type: THERMAL DESORPTION (s0B FULL SCALE INFORMATION Major unit processes : The central processor of the SoilTech ATP System resembles a rotary kiln. The central processor contains four zones characterized by different physical processes. The preheat zone is a cylinder suspended within the outer shell of the processor and oriented centrally along its axis. The feed conveyor drops material into the preheat zone which is heated through the walls by hot treated material in the cooling zone. Preheat zone temperatures reach approximately 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Moisture and light hydrocarbons are distilled off and removed under vacuum. The preheated material enters the retort zone through a sand seal which allows the conveyance of solid material but inhibits the passage of vapors. The retort zone is therefore maintained in an anaerobic condition and passage of contaminated vapors to the other zones is prevented. Material entering the retort zone is immediately heated to between 900 and 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit by mixing with hot solids recycled from the heat recovery zone through the second sand seal. Any remaining hydrocarbons in the feed are volatilized and removed under vacuum for subsequent treatment. The decontaminated material then passes from retort to the heat recovery zone via a third sand seal. The heat recovery and cooling zones make up the annular space between the outer and inner cylinders. Material flow direction is reversed back toward the feed end of the processor. Natural gas/propane burners maintain the heat recovery zone at about 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Treated solids are cooled in the cooling zone through contact with the outer shell of the preheat zone before exiting the processor to be quenched and stockpiled. Vapors drawn out of the preheat and retort zones are cooled and condensed in equipment similar to that used in an oil refinery. The oil product can be recycled, decontaminated chemically, or disposed off-site. Condensed water is treated on site. Flue gases from the heat recovery zone are conventionaly treated by passage through a cyclone, two fabric filters, an acid gas scrubber, and an activated carbon bed before being released to the atmosphere.
