Patent ID: 7360966

Claim:
A system for remediation of contaminated soil, comprising: a soil remediation cell of contaminated soil; and a plurality of multi-functional conduits having a perforated portion comprising a plurality of perforations and a non-perforated portion located within said contaminated soil, each said multi-functional conduit defining a reaction housing, said multi-functional conduits including (a) heating elements for introducing heat into the contaminated soil for volatilizing the contaminants located within the contaminated soil, without utilizing mechanically driven forced air and further wherein the system does not utilize a vacuum to encourage contaminants to achieve a contaminated vapor, (b) flow channels having a plurality of perforations extend therethrough for removing said contaminated vapor from within said soil remediation cell, (c) said reaction housing wherein a substantial portion of the contaminants in said contaminated vapor are destroyed so as to produce a substantially non-contaminated vapor in which at least about 80% by weight of said contaminants have been destroyed; and; (d) said multi-functional conduits having conduit supports that function as a vapor path for the multi-functional conduits to an exhaust manifold.
