Abstract:
1. A remediation system for decontaminating a polluted site, the system comprising: an outlet system that delivers a remediation fluid to the polluted site under pressure; an inlet system that receives a contaminated effluent from the polluted site; a processing system that extracts a contaminant component from the contaminated effluent; a reactor including a first inlet coupled to receive the extracted contaminant component as a first reactant, and a second inlet coupled to receive a second reactant comprising an oxidant; a reactant delivery unit that delivers reactants to the first and second reactor inlets, the reactor being configured to generate an exit fluid stream containing products of the reaction of the first and the second reactants for delivery through a reactor outlet; and a first flow control mechanism coupled to the outlet of the reactor to receive the exit fluid, the first flow control mechanism being configured to release a controlled portion of the exit fluid from the system and to deliver the remaining portion of the exit fluid as the remediation fluid to the polluted site, or to deliver the remaining portion of the exit fluid to a second flow control mechanism for combination with a controlled quantity of the second reactant to form the remediation fluid.
