Soil washing and vacuum distillation are two different methods for soil remediation. Where large volumes of contaminated soil need to be remediated in short time they compliment each other.

Soil washing is a chemical-physical process which is commonly used for soil contaminated with heavy metal, mineral oil, tar and other organic pollutants. Soil washing can achieve high throughputs at relatively low operating costs. 

On the basis of a compact and modular design, the combination of soil washing and VacuDry^® enables a decentral on-site recovery of contaminated soils. Consequently, landfill and transport costs can be saved and high throughput rates up to 20t/ h can be reached.
