Summary:
A Belgian company specialized in thermal desorption offers its own sustainable systems to decontaminate a wide range of polluted soils by in situ thermal desorption (without excavation) or on site, while recovering energy. Its patented technologies is offered to similar companies (SMEs) active in soil remediation for international commercialization under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or for further cooperation with a technical cooperation agreement.
Description:
The Belgian company invented a mobile thermal system for thermal desorption. This process heats the soil to a level where pollutants vaporize as they reach the gas phase.
The technology extracts and recovers contaminants kept in the ground by heating the soil through a system of heaters, tubes and drains.
Process heats the soil by conduction cleaning homogeneously 100% of the volume - Contaminants are then recovered or reused as fuel for the burners.
This process gets its innovation from its mobility and the decontamination of soil impacted by hydrocarbons, persistent organic and inorganic pollutants and furthermore, for the decontamination from mercury.
Applications are wide from oil and gas industry to real estate.
This device is easily applicable to in situ projects, for example on urban settlements, as it is to projects on sites far from any infrastructure.
This technology can be applied by directly drilling in the contaminated area, without excavation, without affecting buildings or installations.
It is also, suitable for already excavated soil or for larger quantities at shallow depths - The clean soil can be reused.
The Belgian company is looking for similar companies active in soil remediation in other countries (worldwide) to whom it could provide the technology (patents and know-how) for local commercialization under under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or for further development under a technical cooperation agreement.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The Belgian company is looking for similar companies active in soil remediation in other countries (worldwide) with own expertise about their local situation.
The Belgian company provides the technology (patents and know-how) to the partner, who is responsible for marketing, sales and project execution, local permitting and administration. The partner is provided with trainings and support from the Belgian engineers if needed.
The key component of the technology stays as the property of the Belgian company.
The partnership can take many forms notably a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Further collaboration such as technical cooperation agreements could also be later envisaged.
Stage of Development:
Already on the market
Comments Regarding Stage of Development:
The process and its depollution technology can be seen as a demonstration at the Belgian company's site.
