Abstract

See full text

A combined soil remediation and HMA plant is provided having a rotary dryer, a rotary soil incinerator, and a refractory lined duct connecting the incinerator to the dryer and serving as a conduit via which hot gases, forming the primary and possibly sole heat source used to heat raw aggregate in the dryer, are conveyed from the incinerator to the dryer. The duct also acts as an afterburner in which volatile organic compounds, particles of contaminated dust, and other combustible products not destroyed in the incinerator are destroyed. The plant further includes a mixer 1) receiving both reclaimed soil from the incinerator and heated and dried aggregate from the dryer and 2) mixing both materials with liquid asphalt and possibly RAP and/or dust from the system's baghouse assembly to form HMA.
