A system for reconditioning soils contaminated with crude oils or other refined petroleum products. The system comprises a mixer input device for mixing and heating the soils with a liquid and providing a heated blended slurry. A sparger kiln agitates the slurry to break down its component parts into a fine particle slurry. A first clarifier washes the fine particle slurry to effect a first separation of oil particles from the slurry. A network of flotation cell units further wash and agitate the fine particle slurry from the clarifier to effect a second separation of oil particles from the fine particle slurry. A reagent is added to the flotation cells to effect the oil separation. An aeration clarifier further separates the oil particles from the liquid mixture elected from the flotation cell units. A collecting system is provided to recover the oil particles separated from the first clarifier and the aeration clarifier.
A system for reconditioning soils contaminated with crude oils or other refined petroleum products, said system comprising a mixer input device having a mixer and heater means for mixing and heating said soils with a liquid and providing a heated blended slurry, first convection means to feed said slurry to a sparger kiln having agitating means for agitating said slurry whereby to break down its component parts into a fine particle slurry, second convection means to feed said fine particle slurry to a first clarifier for washing said fine particle slurry to effect a first separation of oil particles from said slurry, third convection means to feed said slurry from said first clarifier to a network of floatation cell units for further washing and agitating of said fine particle slurry from said clarifier to effect a second separation of oil particles from said fine particle slurry, reagent feed means associated with said floatation cells to effect said oil separation, fourth convection means to feed separated oil particles from said floatation cells to an aeration clarifier having a liquid flow means to further separate oil particles from a liquid mixture containing said oil particles from said floatation cells and collecting means to recover said oil particles separated at said first clarifier and aeration clarifier.
