Abstract
This disclosure relates to industrial processes. Remediation systems for the removal of PFAS compounds from contaminated soil are disclosed herein. Thermal management systems are disclosed herein for preventing failure of heated, rotatable barrels. Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) compounds are a large group of compounds (>6,000) that have an alkyl chain. The processes and systems disclosed herein for remediation of PFAS compounds can address the unique characteristics of PFAS compounds. WO
Claims23
A system for removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) compounds, the system comprising:
- a vessel configured to receive a feed stream containing PFAS-contaminated material, the vessel including a rotatable barrel having a receiving end, a discharging end, an interior surface, and an exterior surface;
- a first heating region and a second heating region longitudinally-spaced along a length of the rotatable barrel of the vessel, wherein the first heating region is adjacent the receiving end of the rotatable barrel and the second heating region is adjacent the first heating region;
- a first section of induction heaters at least partially circumscribing the rotatable barrel, the first section of induction heaters disposed within the first heating region;
- a second section of induction heaters at least partially circumscribing the rotatable barrel, the second section of induction heaters disposed within the second heating region;
- first barrel support system operably connected to the exterior surface of the rotatable barrel and located longitudinally between the first heating region and the second heating region, the first barrel support system supporting the rotatable barrel during operation;
- and
- an insulation sleeve concentrically surrounding the exterior surface of the rotatable barrel, the insulation sleeve longitudinally extending from proximal the receiving end to proximal the discharging end, wherein the insulation sleeve separates the rotatable barrel from the first and second sections of induction heaters, wherein the insulation sleeve includes a first cutout where the first barrel support system is operably connected to the exterior surface of the rotatable barrel, and wherein the insulation sleeve is stationary relative to the rotatable barrel during operation.
