FIELD TRIALS OF EX SITU SMOLDERING TREATMENT (STARX) OF OIL SLUDGE
Murray, C., Master's thesis, University of Western Ontario, 421 pp, 2019
The ex situ Self-sustaining Treatment for Active Remediation (STARx) technology was evaluated in soil pile configurations using an engineered base concept called Hottpad™, at both the prototype (0.35-1.3m3) and field (80-160m3) scales. The treatment was applied to oily sludge from crude oil tank bottoms and oil-water separation processes mixed with sand or soils at concentrations from 4,020-115,000 mg/kg total petroleum hydrocarbons. The relationships between initial soil concentrations, offgas production, mass destruction rates, cycle times, and peak temperatures provided important insights into the performance and costs of applying the technology at field scale. STARx was shown to successfully destroy the wastes to below laboratory detection limits, with contaminant mass removal efficiencies of greater than 98% being observed. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=8553&context=etd
