Environmental contamination of soil, groundwater, and vapour pathways presents a serious challenge for industrial, oil & gas, and infrastructure projects. Addressing these challenges requires technologies that are not only effective, but also safe, mobile, and environmentally responsible.
The KAG 2000 Thermal Desorption Unit represents a modern solution designed to remediate contaminated materials efficiently while maintaining strict environmental controls.
A Mobile and Modular Remediation Solution
The KAG 2000 is engineered as a mobile, modular, high-throughput remediation system, making it ideal for both remote and urban project sites. Its modular construction allows rapid deployment across international locations, while transport on flatbed trailers ensures logistical flexibility.
Once on site, the system can be assembled using cranes and support vehicles, with quick connection to essential utilities such as power, water, and gas.
High-Performance Thermal Desorption Technology
At the core of the KAG 2000 is a thermal desorption process designed to separate contaminants from soil, water, and vapour streams through controlled heating. Operating at temperatures of up to 450°C, the system effectively treats hydrocarbons and other volatile contaminants without combustion.
With a throughput capacity of 8–10 tons per hour, the unit is suitable for medium- to large-scale remediation projects requiring fast turnaround times.
Closed-Loop Operation with Zero Atmospheric Emissions
One of the defining features of the KAG 2000 is its fully closed-loop system. All processes are conducted under controlled pressure conditions, ensuring:
- Zero atmospheric emissions
- Safe containment of vapours and contaminants
- Compliance with strict environmental regulations
Advanced environmental controls, including CO₂ cooling and heavy metal capture, further reduce environmental impact and enhance operational safety.
Intelligent Automation and Safety Controls
The KAG 2000 is equipped with PLC and HMI-based automation, enabling precise control over feed rates, auger speeds, temperatures, and pressure levels. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) automatically adjust system performance to match material characteristics.
Integrated safety interlocks continuously monitor:
- Pressure levels
- Water flow
- Operating temperatures
These safeguards ensure stable operation and protect both personnel and equipment.
Efficient Separation and Energy Management
Contaminants released during the desorption process are managed through an advanced separation system, including swirl tank separation with CO₂ injection. Exhaust heat recovery and electric heaters optimize energy efficiency, reducing overall fuel consumption while maintaining consistent treatment performance.
Streamlined Demobilization
Once remediation is complete, the KAG 2000 allows for efficient demobilization. The system undergoes controlled purging and cleaning before utilities are disconnected and modules are packed into a transport-ready configuration—minimizing downtime and enabling rapid redeployment.
Supporting Sustainable Remediation Projects
The KAG 2000 Thermal Desorption Unit aligns with modern sustainability goals by combining:
- High treatment efficiency
- Zero atmospheric emissions
- Controlled waste handling
- Reduced environmental footprint
This makes it a powerful tool for soil remediation, contaminated water treatment, and vapour control in environmentally sensitive projects.
Conclusion
As environmental regulations tighten and remediation standards evolve, technologies like the KAG 2000 Thermal Desorption Unit play a critical role in delivering safe, compliant, and effective cleanup solutions. Its mobility, automation, and closed-loop design make it a reliable choice for complex remediation challenges across industries.
