Cleaned soil

Contaminated soil and building-rubble can be efficiently treated with VacuDry® technology, including a diverse range of toxic and hazardous substances. VacuDry® units also have low emissions and low power consumption, making on-site treatment with our mobile units both economically and environmentally sound.

Benefits of VacuDry® soil remediation plants:

  • Proven and versatile treatment method which has been operating for over 10 years
  • Environmentally friendly, fully enclosed separation process for volatile contaminants
  • Single process approved to operate with multi-contaminant input materials
  • High temperatures and low vacuum pressure ensure a thorough cleaning process
  • Low energy consumption is achieved through efficient heat transfer
  • Emission and dust free system; encapsulated treatment of exhaust vapours and solids
  • Optional stabilisation/solidification of cleaned solids after thermal treatment
