20090028645 | THERMOGENERATOR TO REMEDIATE CONTAMINATED SITES - A remediation system and method for decontaminating a polluted site. An outlet system is to deliver a remediation fluid to the polluted site, and an inlet system receives a contaminated effluent from the polluted site. A processing system extracts a contaminant component from the contaminated effluent. A reactor receives the extracted contaminant component as a first reactant, and also, a second reactant. The reactor generates a reaction product-containing exit fluid stream, a controlled portion of which is released from the system. The remaining portion of the reactor exit fluid forms the remediation fluid. Optionally, the remaining portion is combined with a controlled quantity of the second reactant to form the remediation fluid. In addition, a controlled quantity of diluent/coolant fluid may be delivered into a reaction process in the reactor and/or downstream of the reaction process, and/or separately in a heat transfer system. This cools the exit fluid, and the diluent/coolant becomes part of the remediation fluid. Where the pollutants are combustible, the reactor is a combustor, and the diluent is water, which adds to the steam, which is generated by the combustion process. | 01-29-2009 |
