Description
Thermal Enhanced Vapor Extraction System (TEVES) technology is the combined application of soil heating technology and vacuum vapor extraction soil remediation. Soil heating acts to improve the mass extraction rate of volatile, semivolatile and petroleum hydrocarbons from soils by increasing contaminant vapor pressures and inducing steam stripping action from existing water in unsaturated soils. A complete, instrumented field demonstration of the TEVES technology was performed on a waste disposal cell at the chemical waste landfill located at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM. Powerline frequency (60 Hz) and radiofrequency (6.78 MHz) heating technologies were combined with traditional vacuum vapor extraction with integrated monitoring for soil temperature, subsurface pressure, contaminant removal rate and water removal rate
