There is a large variety of thermal desorption facilities on the market particularly for the remediation of oil and gas sites. The main groups are the indirect fired types with oil recovery from the off-gas into the water phase and the other is the direct-fired either parallel flow or better counter flow TD with after combustion.
I would be interested how other remediation and hazardous waste treatment experts evaluate these two treatment possibilities.
Thank you and Glück Auf!

Obviously nobody is really interested in thermal desorption. Otherwise on this platform is a considerable resistance with regard to soil washing.
Maybe the question is not very clear or simply too practical!?. - Basically I wanted to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the two main streams of thermal desorption in terms of hydrocarbon treatment, including waxes and asphaltenes, maybe including the common problems with mercury, etc.
